The Me-Madeness of it All!

I know I've given you no proof of this but I participated in Me-Made-May.

I actually wore at least one me-made item of clothing every day, but I didn't really plan it. It just happened. Looking at my closet today, I fully see why it was possible. I finally have enough clothes, at least for this season's warmer weather. When I open the closet door, right off the bat, I can see that at least 50% of the contents in immediate view were made by me.

A quick inventory of items worn in May:

• 1 mustard asymmetrical knit top - Burdastyle

• 1 blue patterned long-sleeved cotton Scout - Grainline #31002
• 1 neutral cotton print Scout - Grainline #31002

Pants:

• None. Zilch. Nada. (need to remedy that)

As you can see, it was basically all upper body participation, pairing me-made tops with ready-to-wear bottoms. I did get it done though. It counts.

Now on to make more items...
