Me Made May15 Days 1 6
Me Made May15 Days 1 6
Bloody hell, has a year really gone by already?! So much has happened but Im excited to be back and challenging myself again this May. It seems that for most Me-Made-may participants who have been sewing for a while, the main thrust of their pledges is to excavate what lies within the dark crevices of their hand-made wardrobe! I am doing that in the form of wearing skirts and dresses far more than I usually do, to see if I can get myself out of my jeans and knit top formula/rut. Here goes:
Day 1 (spent in Spain!)
Me-Mades:
Staple Dress
Undies
Day 2 (spent in Spain)
Me-Mades:
Stripy Dolores batwing top
Denim Simplicity 2451 skirt
Undies
Day 3 (spent in airports)
Me-Mades:
Slinky breton top
Undies
(with secondhand jeans)
Day 4
Me-Mades:
Black Dolores batwing top
Stripy Mabel skirt
Undies
Day 5
Me-Mades:
Ceylon dress
Vest
Undies
Day 6
Me-Mades:
Tova dress/tunic
Black leggings (yes, they were once maternity leggings, although I called them treggings back then)
Vest
Undies
Early findings:
- How comfortable a dress or skirt is really seems to hang on the comfort levels of the footwear and hosiery! Dresses and skirts that can be worn with trainers stop people asking why are you all dressed up? when they are used to seeing me in stained jeans every day.
- Doing no photo editing whatsoever leads to less than fab photos (unless youre in sunny Spain) but makes the documentation and sharing process much more amenable.
