Not much to report on the Me Made May front as everyday is me made days. This week, I've been wearing repeats of the previous weeks.
Although, there are some RTW items still lingering in the closet, most of my wears are me made items. There is only one dress that was a RTW purchase that is now considered vintage and has been re-fashioned to fit my body changes that have occurred since it entered the closet. It only survived the decades because it's a pullover cotton knit dress when quality natural fabrics ruled the racks.
I've been on this sewing journey for decades and at this point there is an enormous amount of gratefulness for the ability and equipment to sew what I need. Me Made May at this point of the journey is a celebration of the skills developed over the years, the knowledge and respect gained for natural fabrics and a new found appreciation of mending. I didn't always have the appreciation of mending as I do now.
There is one more week to go until the end of Me Made May and things may look different as hot weather is predicted to come our way. It might be time to put away the wool and flannel and pull out the hot weather pieces.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing / mending.
