So my green love-in started with my Gap cardigan and went from there...
The final week of Me-Made-May saw my first repeat items in the form of the Colette Sorbetto and Grainline Scout Woven tee. It would be a great idea to make some more of these and branch out into more fluid / drapier fabrics.
Overall I have really enjoyed taking part in Me-Made-May for the first time and will definitely take part next year. My most worn items were as I mentioned basic tops and skirts (I have more of these to choose from). Additions to my wardrobe in May were:
- Total Pollocks tee
- Colette Ginger chevron skirt
- Red polka dot Grainline Scout Woven tee (not yet blogged)
- Black and white plaid shift dress Simplicity 9620 (not yet blogged)
- Colourful ikat shift dress Simplicity 9620 (not yet blogged)
- Green vintage dress repair (not yet blogged)
I still have a red jumbo polka dot Colette Sorbetto cut out ready to sew which I never got around to completing and as you know I am part-way through making a green and blue Tulip skirt at Sew Over It.
Here is what my Me-Made-May looked like:
