I did it! I managed to participate and survive Me-made-May '14. Quite the learning experience where I learned that I need to make more undergarments. The ratio of me-made to ready-to-wear leans more heavily on the ready-to-wear side but I'm sure that will change as time goes on especially since I'm on a RTW Fast this year and I've come to appreciate my sewing skills more than I did prior to this journey. Well, here is how the final me-made week played out.

ReplyDeleteThanks! The hardest part (for me) of Me-made-May is taking photos in the outfits, this was a easier way to participate.
