Me Made May 16 - Week 1
My MMM16 challenge this year is to wear at least one Me Made item per day, and at least two Me Made outfits a week. I'm only posting the outfits.
The weather has been beautiful this week- thank you climate change. It is Mother's Day tomorrow, and I remember as a child by Mother's Day I was wearing spencers under my school uniform, and scraping ice off car windows in Sydney. Not these days.
Here's a dose of reality - end of day, hair and clothes gym-rumpled, no make up. Today's outfit brought to you by Style Arc:
Top - Style Arc Evie
Cardi - Style Arc Cosy Cardi
Pants - Style Arc Misty
Netball watching and errands today in beautiful autumn sunshine. My daughter's team is undefeated so far! Go NNBNC 17Bs!!
Pants - Style Arc Tessa
In other sewing news, I've joined the Stashbusting Sewalong . Over the years, I've accumulated pieces of fabric that have demanded standards of sewing beyond my capabilities at the time. But I think, in a lot of cases, my skills have caught up with the demands of the fabrics, and it's time to front up to the challenge. Ironically, though, just as I signed up, I was also telling my children I'd like fabric for Mothers Day, so I declare an amnesty on those purchases. (You can rationalise anything, I guess!) . After netball I went into Spotlight and despite the 40% off sale on fabric and seeing one or two fabrics I quite liked, I stayed strong and focussed! No purchases - fabric at least. I purchased elastic and a pair of shoulder pads for an upcoming project.
Great to see your me made garments in action.
ReplyDeleteTwo great outfits for the first week of MMM. Like you I am so trying not to purchase fabric, but that hasn't stopped me with patterns or notions :)
ReplyDeleteYour trousers fit really nicely and well done for committing to using up those nice but slightly challenging fabrics.
