I am endeavouring to wear at least one hand-made item every day for the month of May.
Day 13: Teal Appeal Dress (Sorry, no photo. Here is an old one with old hair.)
Day 14: Red Polka Dot Alma Blouse (yes, that is a toilet…this I took in the bathroom at work)
Day 15: Steinaway Dress (It matches my new bistro set for our balcony!)
This was following a day of work and sushi dinner with Stein. I look tired because I am.
Day 16: Red Lace Pendrell Blouse (I usually wear skirts or dresses. This day I wore trousers.)
This is the me-made item that gets the most compliments or, at least, comments.
Day 17: Digital Dot Pendrell Blouse & Plum Skirt (I went to Anne of Green Gables with my friend Currie Spice.)
Day 18: Brown and Gold Elastic Waist Skirt (Didn’t take a photo. The sweater is from the Gap, not me-made but I didn’t want you to think I went topless.)
Day 19: Digital Dot Pendrell Blouse (again) and RTW navy skirt (Sorry, I missed another day of photos. And hubby didn’t put his socks away…)
We have been ridiculously busy. We are volunteering on a construction project. Stein putting in WAY more time than me but after spending a full afternoon on Saturday pulling nails from boards and cleaning port-o-potties they asked if I could sew some headscarves for the kitchen workers. I guess hairnets are expensive (when they aren’t used multiple times) and headscarves can be washed and reworn many times.
I found some instructions on About.com and did up a test. Can you believe I did a muslin on a headscarf even though I RARELY do them for other items ?!? This will be a wearable muslin which is good. They asked for 12 to start. I’ll get a photo of me in it after I’ve finished stitching it up.
What did you do on your weekend? Aren’t photos the most challenging thing about Me-Made-May?
What I’m listening to: E-Bow the Letter by R.E.M.
Falling Through Your Clothes 
Yep, photos are definitely the hardest part! I love your Pendrells. I really must revisit that pattern!
Pendrells are my fave!
Photos are tough but I’m not beating myself up about it. What are you going to do?!
Hopefully do better this week.
Great outfits. Looking good. Love your balcony bistro.
Thanks! I got out on my balcony today since it was so lovely out. We have a short season here in Western Canada.
Wow, you’ve made a tonne of stuff! it all looks great, good for you! Also wanted to let u know that I won a pattern pyramid recently and just posted it on my blog, if you wanted to have a look and enter.
I will check it out!
I forget how much I’ve sewn in a fairly short time. Obviously the Sewaholic Pendrells are my fave!
You’ve sewn a lot, well done! I am a very slow stitcher. I have many projects in the queue right now, complete with patterns, fabric and notions, ready to go! And, now I have a few MORE patterns from this Pattern Pyramid I just won. Sheeeze….. Lol.
