I am a bit late, but here are my thoughts on a fantastic month of wearing, photographing, Instagramming my me-made clothes.
I love using the selfie timer on my phone! I staged my photos in several venues:
my bedroom
outside in the garden
I wore mostly different clothes each day, really because I wanted to try everything I have made rather than that be my normal routine. There were things I wore more than once (Cleo pinafore dress and brown shorts), and there were things I didn't wear at all.
I made lots of connections on Instagram. I am now following lots of 'new-to-me' sewists, and have new followers myself. I love Instagram!
May is a great month to choose for a 'Me-Made' month as the weather usually improves through the month, and here in the UK we are putting away our Winter clothes getting out our Summer wardrobe by the end of the month.
Looking at me 'Me Made Wardrobe' I realise that I sew with lovely colourful patterned fabric. I am really happy when I open my wardrobe doors now and see the colour in there. But... if I want to wear all 'Me-Made' I should sew some plain coloured basics, eg jeans, skirts, t-shirts to go with it all. I know that I am not alone in this - I see this in most reviews I have read!
I have had jeans on my to-sew list for a while, in fact, the brown shorts are a toile for a good fit.
I show cased my most recent makes, my second Tiramisu dress from Cake Patterns , and a maxi dress from New Look 6280
I also wore some refashioned and pre-owned items, such as these brown trousers (bought from a charity shop and altered to fit) and this corduroy jacket from eBay.
