Me-Made-May '12: Week Three Round-up

I'm going to apologize because I have been horribly bad at documenting my MMM outfits this week. It has been a busy week. But were there are no photos I tried to link to the original clothing blog post.


Sunday, May 13th: Mother's Day!

Daytime: Busy in the kitchen making Mama R lunch. On the menu: Eggplant Parmesan and Jicama Slaw. Then we hopped in the car and did the same thing half of the people of Winnipeg did with their Mom, we went to Costco.
Evening:  I spent the evening working on Simplicity 2398 bodice front, bodice back lining and pressing.

Black Pants:  Liz Claiborne, shortened to knee length

Top:  Butterick 5679

Shoes: Mephisto

Monday, May 14th: It is going to be a hot one, +29 C and windy. I had a different outfit in mind but the wind factor made me reach for a straight skirt.  

Daytime:  Workday.
Evening:  Seeking comfort in an air-conditioned oasis, this means hanging out at the sewing table. I spent the evening working on Simplicity 2398 sewing the bodice front to skirt front, front to back at side seams and ties.
