Me Made May is rolling around. I had fun participating last year so I am pledging to do it again this year. I will try to take pictures of each daily outfit but I will only post a once a week update - so as not to bombard anyone with daily posts!
I'm hoping to find gaps in my wardrobe and weed out things that I just don't wear.
'I, Kristin of SunnySewing.blogspot.com, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '15. I endeavor to wear 4 me-made makes each week for the duration of May 2015; I also endeavor to clean out my closet and weed out the things that I don't wear'
(Totally stole that last part from Elizabeth at The College Seamstress , Thanks Elizabeth!)
In weeding through my closet I hope to find out WHY I don't wear certain things and take note so that if I do re-make I can address those fit issues, or fabric issues, or any issue it may be.
Are you taking part this year?
~ Happy Sewing! ~ Kristin ~
I was hoping that by this year, I would have enough me-mades to see me through the month of May. But I just don't have that many things I can wear on a daily basis. I really should sew more separates, and basics. You have been super productive, so this will be a walk in the park for you :) Happy weeding!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to balance what we want to sew and what we need to sew :-) You have beautiful makes, maybe you can pledge to wear just one a week? I struggled in the beginning but this is my 4th year of sewing pretty hardcore so my wardrobe is starting to fill in with me-makes :D You will get there Siri! And thanks!
DeleteYay you! I wish I could do this, but I mainly wear shorts around the house and most of the shorts I made, are now too tight! argggg. I need to make more shorts. ha ha
ReplyDeleteI am on the shorts-needing-bandwagon too. It is pretty much all my sewing now "to-do" list is made of. I really hope to get a jump on it this year and make some shorts that really fit before it gets hot. I ordered "pants for real people" from the Library to help with the fitting issues I have. Let's hope it gets in soon so I can get moving! :) Thanks Shirley!
DeleteGreat pledge! I'm really hoping to weed out things I don't wear because that is such a hard thing for me to do. I make things and then don't wear them, so I need to figure out why. I'm glad you feel the same way!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! It is hard to weed out things you spent time making. It makes me sad when I have to give me-mades up.
