Last year was my first Me Made May, and I was very glad I joined in (for lots of reasons). Back then I had a smaller handmade wardrobe and still managed to wear me-made four days a week. Looking back this was a bit of a stretch, but obviously do-able (I did it!), so I needed to give myself a greater challenge this year that was still going to be achievable.
My handmade wardrobe HAS grown since last year, but has not doubled by any stretch of the imagination, so I don't feel I can do me-made every day for the whole of May yet. Plus I am still frantically sewing my wedding dress (less than 8 weeks to go! The dress is almost there but taking
longer than expected!), which means that for the past few months I haven't really been sewing ANYTHING else. So I can't count on new makes to add in during May.
SO, I decided that this should be my pledge:
I, Marie from www.ree-sewn.blogspot.co.uk, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '15. I endeavour to wear me-made garments on at least 20 days of May 2015.
In terms of a round up, I did feel that last year my weekly posts were a bit excessive, so this year I am just going to do one round-up post at the end of May. I will photograph my outfit each day, but will be content with mirror selfies if need be! I'm not picky!

Right, here we go! Who else is joining in?
I love reading all the Me Made May posts but still don't feel that I have enough day to day clothing in my handmade wardrobe to participate - maybe next year! Look forward to seeing your round up and can't wait to see your wedding dress!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Coo. I love keeping up with everyone's Me Made May posts too - mostly to see how people actually wear their hand made clothes in everyday life. I love that everyone can have a different pledge too! I definitely can't do me made every day in May (yet). xx
