So another Me-Made May is upon us. I didn't officially sign up this year, more due to absent-mindedness than anything else, but I have been thinking about it. My personal pledge this May is 3-fold:
1. M-F, wear all handmade with the optional exception of one garment each day (under-garments and layering camis don't count toward my one RTW garment)
2. Weekends, wear at least one handmade garment every day
3. Don't stress. I didn't officially sign up, after all, so cheating is acceptable from time to time.
Here's what I wore for days 1-5. There are some new things that I'll come back and give their own blog posts.
Friday the 1st
I wore my recently-made Simplicity 1810 with a new knitted shrug, soon to be blogged about.
Saturday the 2nd
I wore purchased shorts and my flamingo tee.
Sunday the 3rd
I wore my brand new Marfy 3443, soon to be blogged about.
Monday the 4th
I wore this skirt with a new blouse. Sooo, I seem to be a bit behind on blogging about recently finished projects.
Tuesday the 5th
Today was a big old fail. :-( Well not really frown-y face - it was a perfectly happy day, but you know what I mean. My mom's been visiting, and we've been shopping, and I bought a new top, so yeah, I just wanted to wear it today. And I wore it with store-bought jeans, so yeah. Bad Jenny. I didn't even take a photo since I was sure I'd be able to find a pic of the top on Anthropologie's website, but no such luck.
Who else is participating in Me-Made-May? The Marfy dress above has had my full attention for the past two weeks or two, so I'm anxious to get a few easier pieces made soon.

OOh I like that Marfy dress. Looking forward to your post on that!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to finish anything I've started for myself! I should tell the grandbabies to do Mimi-made May!! The girls have several skirts :-).
