At first, I have to admit that I did not keep my pledge
100%. I tried and kept wearing me-made clothes the whole month, but at least
one me-made garment every day was little bit too much.
The weather was somehow strange the whole month and I
realized that after 2 winters and only one summer of me sewing, I just do not
have enough summery things. And not enough separates.
However, the month is far from being lost because I kept
sewing and sewing. Besides finishing my first coat, I sewed 3 more tops, out of which I have already worn 2. In
addition, I bought Anna pdf pattern and started sewing a more than wearable
muslin of it. Already finished, but will need some time to take pictures and
blog about it.
All-in-all, I have consumed almost 10m of fabric (compared to 18m
bought, ehm, ehm).
I also realized that I have too many finished garments which
I have not blogged about yet. Mostly because I am too lazy to take pictures of
myself in them, or, I have not worn them yet so taking pictures is more
difficult.
But back to Me-Made-May: and a few lessons I need to learn
from for next year
As always, I have a few favorite garments which I tend to
wear over and over. I am even thinking of the same styles sewing again from
another (already bought) fabric. This is somehow getting against my hope to try
and sew new pattern. And I have many of those as well.
Separates are a great way to keep with my pledge (all 3 pics from our trip to Berlin):
Black is certainly my colour. Ok, most of the pictures are
my work-outfits. I tend to wear brown-black-grey and that’s it. Perhaps if it
was a me-made August when I spend 3 weeks on vacation, the colour palette might
be different.
I should definitely sew some more skirts. This grey one is a
great staple and the brown one is soo comfy. And I just love both patterns.
Ok, there is probably nothing transcending in this article,
but I felt obliged to post a MMM recap in the end. It was fun to take pictures
f myself every day and it is interesting to see the whole month here. In the
end, little bit of colour might not harm… :o)
