My maiden "Me Made May".

Hello hello.

So my Instagram feed is chock full of fabulous Me Made outfits from sewists across the world. I am loving seeing people's takes on all sorts of pattern. 

You may have read that I have decided to take part in Me Made May this year And not just because I am a sucker for alliteration. I thought it would be fun to see if I could wear or carry at least one me made item every day for a month.

Week one has seen quite a big drop in temp here in Mildura, as you will see from the photos, I started may with bare legs, and today I am wearing tights, a scarf and coat.

Ok, so hear is the run down so far. In no particular order (left to right, top to bottom):

Image one, Isley skirt by Marillia Walker in chambray.
Image two, a vintage shirt dress patterns from Butterick in double gauze ikat.
Image three McCall's 6885 in striped upholstery fabric.
Image four New Look 6394 in a red and white gingham print rayon.

Image five, Rebecca Taylor for Vouge 1395 in a bow print poly
Image six, pants Simplicity 1430 in red strech satire with a bambo print, jacket McCall's 7100 in black neoprene, the gorgeous boy is borrowed.
Image seven, dress vintage Style 1116 in chambray and jacket a lengthened McCall's 7100 in grey wool
Image eight, coat Burda 7072 in a cream upholstery fabric

I've saved my two favourite outfits for last.

Image nine, another McCall's 6885 with a reduced collar in some fun wool I found in an op shop
Image ten, black and grey shirt vintage Simplicity 7057 in black and grey double gauze


Are you taking part in Me Made May? How long will you last before you have to repeat?

  2. Love your MeMadeMay wardrobe. I'm struggling with this winter weather in Melbourne. All my DIY wardrobe seems to be summer stuff.

  4. So impressed with anyone who commits to Me Made May every day. I'm on four times a week, but I'm hoping that by next year I might have been able to make a more substantial handmade wardrobe! Love the outfits!
