Another Me-Made May has passed, and as with last year, I find I am more eager than usual to sit down at my sewing machine. Seeing everyone's wonderful creations each day really gets my fingers twitching to stitch. Here's my daily outfit for the second half of the month.

You'll notice, as
last year, that Oxford is completely worn out from all the selfies by the time we got to the end of the month. He's really going to have to get more stamina.
Like New Years, Me-Made May is a nice reset button for my sewing. A chance to make new plans and feel like you're starting fresh. I step into June feeling invigorated to actually tackle some mending/altering on some things I dearly wanted to wear, but that need a little fixing. I also realized I really should do another embroidery project, so I got to work on that, too. I enjoy them tremendously, and the ones I've made are some of my most prized handmade garments.
I'm also very grateful that there isn't a Me-Made November or February, because I'd be stuck. It's only cold a few months out of the year here in Austin, and not even that cold at that, so it's rare that I sew something for those chilly days. I'm determined to start earlier on those projects this year!
Cheers!
Your outfits are always so adorable! I especially love your button-front cambie and your beautiful embroidery.
ReplyDeleteMe Made May is always a huge motivator for me, too. The combination of seeing everyone else's amazing creations and re-wearing my five skirts over and over again really sends me running for my sewing machine ;)
Thank you, Allie! I know, it's so hard not to also rush out and buy a bunch of patterns and fabric, too. I've got so much in my cupboards, there's no need!
DeleteThat's me decided. I have been wondering if I could get away with turning my home sewing is easy fabric into an Emery dress. You look great in yours - I'm gonna do it! Thank you x
ReplyDeleteOh, definitely! That's such a great pattern for showcasing prints!
DeleteAll such pretty outfits! :)
