Molly Moo and Jessica too

Molly Moo and Jessica too I'm Gemma and since living overseas, currently in Beijing, I no longer make and sell as Molly Moo and Jessica too.

Please stick around if you want to see what I get up to in China and what I sew for myself .

Me Made May Day 29 and once a month students leave after lunchtime and we stay for our CPD (Continuous Professional Development). We have the option to wear jeans, but I'm not much of a jean wearer.

I am wearing the top part of my - the that I made with fabric that I bought in Oaxaca, Mexico.

I wear the matching trousers more frequently - together or separately, so today I wanted to wear the top and make it suitable for work. I think I succeeded 🤷‍♀️

05/28/2026

Me Made May Day 28 and almost at the end of the month. I'm wearing my new made that I made and wore on Saturday, and I did tighten the elastic in the end, and they feel better for it. I bought the shirt fabric online when I lived in Beijing and got a tailor when we moved to Guangzhou to make it. I wear it a lot and I love the colours and the feather print.

Busy day at work which involved me delivering an afternoon training session to the Secondary teachers, but it is Friday tomorrow - yay 😊

Me Made May Day 27 and I'm wearing my rhubarb print . I bought the largest size of this limited edition Marimekko and Ikea collaboration robe a couple of years ago when I lived in Kuala Lumpur. I really should wear this dress more as I always get positive comments about it. I think whilst I Iove the print, I find the scale of it to be so much bigger than what I usually wear.

I'm also showing you all my gorgeous work bag from . My family bought me this gorgeous sustainable leather and fire-hose back pack for my 50th birthday 2 and a half years ago and I use it every day for work. 50% of their profits are donated to The Fire Fighters Charity too.

05/26/2026

Me Made May day 26. Another cooler, overcast day today, so apologies for the dark video in my husband's classroom but it was taken just before the heavens opened. Perfect weather for my crochet tank top or vest though.

I always get lovely comments when I wear it, especially from my male colleagues, and as I live on the other side of the world to my mum, it is nice to wear it to feel closer to her. I'm very envious of people that can crochet and knit - so if that's you, you have my utmost respect.

My M&S linen trousers are more faded than they appear, but I have altered them - I shortened them and added elastic in the back waistband, which I'm trying but failing to show in the video 😂

05/25/2026

Me Made May Day 25 and it is a cooler day here in Mexico City.

I'm wearing my upcycled again. Apologies for the slightly longer video but I wanted to show that when I unpicked the trousers to upcycle them I left the side seams and pockets in tact.

I'm wearing the trousers with the shirt that I originally bought them for. It is part of a gorgeous 2 piece (with a pleated skirt) that I bought when I lived in Guangzhou. I love the print, but found it difficult to match the separates with anything in my wardrobe. However, even after upcycling these burgundy trousers I'm still disappointed in them because the fabric is such bad quality.

Anyway, take a look at my stories for the hail storm - it was preceded by incredibly loud thunder and lots of lightening! Rainy season is in full swing.

05/24/2026

Me Made May Day 24 and I'm wearing a new item of clothing. I had these gorgeous cut out for so many months and I finally got round to sewing them. I think that I might need to tighten the elastic slightly, but for now I'm enjoying the slouch and the comfort. They qualify for - thank you and as this I bought this absolutely gorgeous navy wool and silk pinstripe remnant at least 15 years ago and it has travelled with me to many countries as we've moved around and I've finally sewed it here on Mexico! I think there must be some cotton in there too as they have a delicious crispness that you can hear as I move.

I'm also entering these lengthened trousers for the sewing challenge hosted by .cose as my look today is heavily modelling on how I used to dress back in the late 1990s in my early to mid 20s. I must be doing something right as my 17 year old has already told me she wants to borrow them 😂

05/22/2026

Me Made May Day 22 and another cooler overcast day here. The star of the show is my gorgeous Ikat jacket. Sorry to disappoint, but I didn't make it. I bought it from a small clothing company in Almaty, Kazakhstan when we used to live there.

I'm wearing it with a linen and that I upcycled from some rtw trousers that I didn't like the fit of.

Can't quite believe that it is the weekend as I haven't worked through my list of things to do for this week at work 🤦‍♀️😅

05/21/2026

Me Made May Day 21 and apologies for the weird lighting. It was an overcast morning when I did my video.

We have some visitors at school today and I had a couple of meetings with them so I needed to dress more business smart/professional today - I'm a SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) in a. International school.

The only me made outfit is my linen that I wore on Day 2. Did I hit the brief though? 😉


05/20/2026

Me Made May Day 20 and absolutely no blue in sight!

This skirt is a favourite of mine - in a gorgeous contemporary Malaysian cotton batik from Their prints are architecture themed and this particular print represents kampongs (villages) on maps.

I usually wear this skirt with a yellow top of some description, but today I thought I'd change it up by wearing this green knitwear - not sure how well it goes, but it is always good to try new outfit combinations.

05/19/2026

Me Made May Day 19 and I'm wearing a skirt that I made about 5 or 6 years ago. I think it is a however, because of the gorgeous drape of the fabric it fits and looks a little different.

I'm pairing it with a linen top that I shortened and lowered the neckline of. I think it is the first time that I've worn them together. My shoes are Huaraches, traditional Mexican woven leather footwear for men and women. They are very comfortable, but a little bit too flat.

Have a lovely Tuesday 😊

05/18/2026

Me Made May Day 18 and another fresh out of the shower before work video. A completely upcycled linen viscose outfit using 2 pairs of trousers that I bought on separate occasions in the sales.

Another and - both perfect for another hot muggy day here in Mexico City. The weather is likely to cool down soon though.
