Me Made May is the brainchild of the lovely Zoe of So Zo. It is basically a month of wearing clothes that you have made yourself. You can pick your own challenge to make it suit you. If you only have a few me mades why not aim to wear at least 3 a week. After a quick stocktake I have decided I have enough to aim for one item a day. This is what I have.
8 dresses, 1 jumpsuit and 1 bolero
7 skirts
1 pair of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, 1 top and 1 cardigan.
So that is 22 items in total. There is one dress that isn't pictured as it is sitting on my sewing desk waiting to be mended. But it will be done before May! I will make sure of it. I also have a skirt, 2 dresses and 2 blouses waiting to be sewn up. I am not sure if I will get them all done before the end of May but I am aiming to. I also have a wedding that we are going to in the middle of May. Luckily I already planned to make a dress to wear so that won't be a problem. So here is my pledge...
I, Kat of Petticoats & Peplums, sign up as a participant of Me Made May 13. I endeavour to wear one item of me made clothing each day for the duration of May. Furthermore, I endeavour to finish 3 of the sewing projects mentioned above.
Your skirt collection is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to join in too, but I too need to do a stock take to see how exactly I will do it!! Good luck with yours x
ReplyDeleteI love that you have so many handmade clothes in your wardrobe! I totally want to do this challenge, but will have to see just how many things I have to make this work! Can't wait to see the outfits you put together in May! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year, I'm sooooo excited. It's a good excuse to stock up on me made everyday wear instead of beautiful but sometimes impractical dresses.

ReplyDeleteThis is my first year, sooooo excited. Must stock up on everyday numbers, I'm afraid I have a lot of beautiful but often impractical dresses.
