I'm not really photo documenting what I wear this MMM. I just don't have the time. Besides, everyday is a "me made" day. Same old, some new. May usually means yardwork so I'm wearing grubby "me made" clothes that I don't mind getting dirty. And then sometimes, I might throw on a dress or dress pants and clean myself up.
Being May means unpredictability with the weather. This past week we've seen temperatures one day in the +20 Celsius range as well as snow flakes and near zero temps. So throw in a mix of cardigans and winter jackets and I do believe I wore a tuque this week.
In sewing news, I did journey into the Sudoku challenge that ends tomorrow. I also threw up a white flag and deleted the grid last weekend. It was more difficult than I could imagine to sew up ten pieces in nine weeks. I admire those who were able to accomplish all of the sewing and come up with eight cohesive outfits plus photos. I was two items short when I threw up the white flag. So close. It was fun for awhile.
Now, that I am no longer under a time crunch, I would like to revisit Named Clothing's Anneli top pattern which I made for the Sudoku challenge. And I have a request for cotton knit cycling shorts to sew.
Well, that's all in sewing news today.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
