Me Made May 2016 Week 2 #MMMay16

May 13, 2016

Me Made May 2016 Week 2 #MMMay16

This is my third year of Me Made May (MMM) and this year I have pledged to wear three Me Made items per day for the duration of May (if you want to know more, my pledge post has more info on my pledge and MMM). I have come a long way from my first project four years ago. Sewing got me hooked on making things myself and personalizing everything! Which means I am including sewing projects, refashions, heat transfer transformations and all sorts of DIY accessories, bags and adornments. I am posting my outfits daily to facebook, instagram and of course the official flickr group.  So please, follow along and let me clog your feed with my OOTD! If you would prefer a more concise version, I will be posting a wrap up like this each week. See week one here.

For those of you who are DIY or sewing oriented, I have links to the projects (where possible). And for those of you who are terrified to put needle to fabric or get out the glue, I hope you find inspiration! As I say, I have only been sewing for four years and I am aspiring to a 100% me made wardrobe one day. But I am proof that you can definitely start making now and be ready to participate next year. I really love how MMM makes me mindful about what I’ve made – coming up with new combos and ways to make items more usable. I also love how it makes me mindful about what I have, what I need and how to prioritize my making. I always save the photos I share through MMM to folder on my phone. It makes a great reference when I can’t think of what to wear! So let’s see what I threw on this week…

This week has been really quite cold! I have a lightweight coat/warm jacket planned but I am still waiting on one of the fabrics I ordered to arrive. When it gets really cold I turn to my cape but I want something stretchy, comfy and neutral for everyday. I cannot wait to have something snuggly to wear. I am really glad that I have been working on and adding to my casual/lounge wear wardrobe. It has come just in time! I am still sick and my plans weekend are to get as much rest as possible. I may have dressed properly today but the second I get home I’ll be in sweats or leggings.

I guess that’s another amazing element of Me Made May. Once you see what you have, you can more clearly see what you need and plan your sewing accordingly. I need more long sleeve tops, I think I could still use a few more casual/louge pieces and a decent jacket. I’ve added two ‘sewing to do lists’ (one for summer and one for winter) to google keep. I’m planning out new sewing projects, as we head towards week three of Me Made May 2016…….
