May 9th - Me-Made black McCall's 6070 Maxi dress, then later I changed into the purple New Look skirt (photo above, kinda) with a crisp white top and heels for Mother's Day Dinner.
My biggest reason for joining Me-Made-May was to motivate myself to sew more, more often. I knew that with APs finishing and school ending, I would (hopefully) have more free time than usual this month. After this week, my classes are basically over and it's 2 weeks of watching Simpson's reruns and graduation parties. I will probably show a few graduation cake photos, as I've promised 2 so far and will probably end up making a few more. For those of you that haven't seen my other blog, though I no longer post on it, I am a self-taught cake decorator and absolutely adore fondant.
Gosh, I can really go on a tangent. No wonder no one reads my blog.
My point somewhere in there was, I'm excited to see how many pieces I can sew during the month of May. So far I'm at like 1.8; the NL wrap skirt and now the McCall's tank. I want to sew another top before I move on to dresses or, god forbid, another skirt.
Regarding the mother's day lunch pail - I drafted the pattern, used a ton of stiff interfacing, and sewed everything up as planned. Nothing went awry! I still have a little bit of hand sewing to finish the very very last seam, but it's done for the most part so I gave it to my mom as is, and she liked it well enough. I'll post photos of that when it's done.
Great job on your May projects! I have a problem making myself wear something I have made. Ok, not the wadders, but the good stuff and the so-so stuff. So far I havae worn one dress I made this year. Shame on me! I really want to see that lunch pail you made your mom. So I'll be checking back and I'll mention your blog on my blog. I only have a handful of followers but maybe they will visit you.
ReplyDeleteI love that blue and white striped shirt! *must...resist...urge..to...buy...more...patterns....*
ReplyDeleteAw, thats really nice Toocutedobs! Just for the record, the "no one reads my blog" bit was a joke, I'm not just exceptionally bitter :)
ReplyDeleteSophie - Don't buy the pattern! resist! The armholes are kinda big anyway.
