Hey there fine people of the internet? How have you been?
Last week was another nightmare week at work so I did pretty much no sewing and totally forgot about Me Made May!!
Last week was another nightmare week at work so I did pretty much no sewing and totally forgot about Me Made May!!
I knew May 1st was coming up, but for other reasons, and then May 2nd came and I think the only me-made item I wore was a knitted scarf, but it wasn't anything to sniff at!
So I tried to make up for the two days I lost by wearing my pledged me-mades on the weekend!
On Saturday after rearranging my lounge room the boy and I went out for burgers and a movie. We saw Spider-Man and I made sure to wear something I made - which in this case was my new swing dress from last weekend!
I wore it with flat knee-high boots and a whopping big medallion!
I cleaned out and sorted my laundry which also has come to serve as a 'back shed' type catch all. Living in an apartment means you got find space for all that stuff you'd normally chuck in the garage like gardening stuff, tools and other random bits that you don't want to look at ever
I wore my very comfy marigold smock for it, though now I'm starting to feel the chill and this dress isn't enough - winter is coming!!
Are you taking part in Me Made May? Hows the first 4 days gone for you so far?
You can see all of the other participants on the Pinterest Board and the Flickr group page
I really need to get back behind my machine, that poor coat ain't gonna sew itself!
Take care lovelies!

Fab outifts! I'm struggling to get pics. When your in-house photographer (boyf) is away working and you can't do a decent selfie to save your life you're in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI'll make up for this - even if I have to ask a work colleague to help a sister out!
thanks! i agree! i normally hate doing mirror selfies but its the easiest way to document it each day. My bf tends to use it as a chance to muck around and doesnt like waiting to take 400 pictures! lol
DeleteTwo absolute beauties, Cat! I've coveting that big pendant, too! You'll need some thermal tights and a cape over that gorgeous marigold dress if your winter is anything like ours! xxx
ReplyDeletethank you! i love this pendant - i bought it on esty from someone in LA so im hoping its either 60s or 70s cause its amazing and huge!
Deletewinter is not even here, but it will probably be like what were having now, which is about 9 in the early morning so i do have tights and gloves and so on. but we manage to get to 20 during the day still so they all come off for lunch!
Great outfits Cat, I've got my me-made post coming up. I hope you manage to get some sewing in soon! x
ReplyDeletethanks Sarah! I finally did some sewing yesterday! im still prepping for the coat so i havnt sewn it together yet. Lots of underlining and boring stuff to do.
Deletei love your me made outfits!
Both dresses are fabulous! I wouldn't get very far with Me Made May... But maybe next year! xxx
ReplyDeletethank you! you can make any kind of pledge for MMM! Like wearing 1 item a week or making a whole outfit in time for the end of may.
DeleteMaybe next year then =)
Oh that marigold dress is darling, it looks so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd totally not the point, but I love the decor of your bedroom!
thank you! i love the print and i also love to grow marigolds so its fun to wear while planting them.
DeleteThanks! I love my new doona cover - its so bright and happy!
Such fab outfits, I love how you look so perfectly you all the time! Fabulous style
ReplyDeleteawww thank you! i do try to look like me most of the time! hehehe
DeleteLove both the dresses! They are fabulous, and the colour and print of the marigold dress is just beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your coat!
ReplyDeletethanks Lucy! The marigold i think is a big favourite of mine.
DeleteThe coat! oh my, if i ever finish the prep work!
