"Me Made May 2017"

Me Made May? What is it? It's a challenge, defined by the participant, regarding their handmade wardrobe.

I've made quite a few garments, but certainly not enough to wear an item I've made every day! From looking back over this blog I can see that I have made 9 garments.

1. The blue wrap dress that I made just after having my baby was adjusted a while ago to improve the fit after I lost a bit of weight. I may be able to wear that for work.
2. The plaid shorts are currently in the naughty pile, I'm not happy with them, but I'm not sure what to do to fix them.
3. The reversible bucket hat should be going on holiday with me, so that should get some wear.
4. The Jumpsuit, short version - just no. I am making a trouser version of this for my holiday though.
5. The 1 hour top needs an adjustment to be comfortable, I think I can put a dart in the armhole to make it less gappy.
6. I'm actually wearing the draped top today!
7. The knit mini dress (brown) is nice, I've worn it for work before, and I will again
8. The pink floral dress is a bit more formal, and also is a bit loose now that I've lost weight. I'm not sure what I'm doing with this one.
9. The knit mini dress (black/white) is another nice one for work. I'll probably wear this again too.

So, what's my pledge for Me Made May 2017?

• Wear a garment or use an accessory that I have made, refashioned or upcycled, three times a week throughout May
• For all of the items listed above: wear, change, reclaim fabric from, or donate to the rag bag at some point in May.
