Last year, I had a blast participating in Me-Made-May, so of
course I’m going to join in again this year. I reread my posts from 2014, and
it was a lot of fun seeing how much my garment sewing game has improved over
the course of a year. Last year, my handmade wardrobe consisted of ten items:
seven shirts and three dresses sewn from only four different patterns. This
year, even after my decluttering exercise and putting away fall/winter pieces,
I have fifteen items for my spring/summer me-made wardrobe: nine shirts, two dresses,
three cardigans and one pair of leggings, made from seven unique patterns. I
hope to have a few more garments under my belt by the time the sun sets on May
31, but we’ll see. Me-Made-May is about wearing your handmade garments, not
about panic sewing more. Here’s my pledge for this year:
‘I, Rachel of Snippets of Sweetness, sign up as a
participant of Me-Made-May ’15. I endeavor to wear at least one handmade
garment each day for the duration of May 2015 and to make one garment out of
rayon.’
Like last year, I will post weekly updates on my blog, but
will be posting more frequently on Instagram (@snippetsofsweetness).
Impressed with the 'growth' from last year. Have a fun May and good luck with that rayon!
