Well, I did it. I managed to fulfill my pledge to wear at least one me made item (not counting sweaters) each week in May. I really enjoyed it and it did what I had hoped: pushed me to wear my makes for more than just pictures! The only outfit I didn’t get a picture of was when I went strawberry picking. Here’s everything else:
Hollyburn Skirt 2 with Populuxe and Colorfield
Rita Blouse 2 + Hollyburn Skirt 2, with Crumb
I’ve just realized as I’m linking all of these posts that I never blogged about my second Rita Blouse! I’m planning a bit of a catch up post for the last month of making, so I’ll add the details in there.
Rita Blouse 2 with Crumb
I have to say that this is not too shabby seeing as that is only 1 dress, 2 tops, 2 skirts, and a couple of cardigans. Pretty good little mix and match into ye ole wardrobe. Looking back at these pictures, IÂ think they really show my new, hopeful style. They don’t look awkward, out of place, or forced, which is what I worry about most often.
This really makes me want to sew some more! That’s a great outcome, so thanks Me Made May!
Happy making!
Great wardrobe – you should feel accomplished!

That’s a brilliant result from the month. I don’t sew, but I love to see the garments other people make and I think the ones you’ve shown here are just lovely. I believe that the more you wear the things you make, the more comfortable you become about wearing them and the less contrived you feel.
