Me-Made-May - last recap


Here is the second and final post for the
Me-Made-May 2014
the first half of the month is here

Row 1 - Red Burda Pants, Dolman top , Stripe Dress
Row 2 - stripe tank, Woven Scout T-shirt, Shirt and Skirt
Row 3 - oops repeat (didn't want to redo the collage!), denim shirt. Print-mix shirt

Let's do columns with this one
Column 1 - Archer shirt (repeat), worked in the yard all day, so flannel pj pants not blogged and never will be!, Simplicity top (forgot about a picture until too late, so picture on the floor at the end of the day)
Column 2 - Simplicity dress (part 1 of Sunday), Simplicity jacket
Column 3 - Maxi Dress (part 2 of Sunday), Top and Skirt


Day 30 - Sunshine top just completed and will be blogged this week
 And then day 31, Renfrew top again and a merry-go-ride with the Little Guy, he loved the horses.  And I love him.

What I found from this experience.  I need to make some more separates.  A few tops not from knits, a basic pant or two, sleeveless tops for hot days and when I do make anything, check and see how well it goes with items in my closet.

I did eliminate things in my closet, more on that later.

All in all I did really enjoy participating in MMM 2014, although I did miss some of my favorite RTW garments!  The month long challenge is a great way to evaluate your sewn wardrobe. At the beginning, my daughters thought I was crazy with all those selfie pics on Instagram.  What are you doing, Mom?  When I explained what was going on, it was okay I was posting pics of me!


Oh, yes, don't forget the Anniversary giveway and leave a comment to be entered.

  1. Enjoyed seeing your MMM outfits. Yes I think I need to do a little more wardrobe planning with my sewing - maybe plan out something for Fall. Funny how we have to explain ourselves to our daughters or they think we are losing it!LOL

  2. MMM is a crazy busy month and you've made a great splash this year. I bet you'll have the 'gap clothes' made up in no time:)
