I took part in a 'Me Made' month in June last year, which was great. I restyled a couple of items during the month too, making a Sorbetto out of a tablecloth and altering a Laura Ashley dress. All of my June outfits are here. Here's my pledge:
'I, Kerry of Kestrel Finds & Makes, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '12. I endeavour to wear at least one self-made item each day for the duration of May 2012'
Karen of Did You Make That? has organised the Pyjama Party, which has attracted over 100 people keen to make their own PJs. I will be using this pattern, Simplicity 9505:
Disregarding
the slightly demonic expression of the model, it seems like a great
basic pattern, and I liked the options for the shorts and tops with the
gathered detail neckline. I have some stash fabric in mind for the
bottoms and may or may not make a top to go with them, I'm undecided.
Are you joining in either of these challenges?

Wah! I so want to join in (both of these, actually) but don't even have a table yet so I can setup my sewing machine after moving. I will cheer from the sidelines!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm joining in on the pajama party fun, and still mulling over the idea of MMM. I really don't have very many self-stitched clothes, so I have no idea how I would make it through the month! But I'm still thinking about it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely give MMM a go! - you don't have to commit to self-made every single day if you're not sure you can manage it.
DeleteOh cool, I loved your outfits from last June. I am still unsure if I should join or wait for the next one. I had hoped to have more sewn items before trying again. But then, it's a nice incentive to use those I already have.
ReplyDeleteYeah.. That's looks cute. I'm also party of the pj party..it's so fun xx
ReplyDeleteI'm in on the PJ party. :) I'm planning on making a pair of bottoms from a stash Simplicity patterns and a Sorbetto with sleeves for the top.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, the more I hear about this PJ party, the more I think maybe I should get in on that!
ReplyDeleteAnd lol at your description of the demonic model! That's troubling indeed!!
I've (very nervously) signed up for MMM. We'll see how it goes!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :)
DeleteKestral, I am participating in MMM'12 and really looking forward to finetuning some of my wardrobe. I need help!
ReplyDeleteOoh good luck - it will definitely highlight any wardrobe gaps for sure, that's what I found last year anyway!
DeleteI've signed up to both too! I'm only doing MMM 3 days a week, and I've already realised that I have some gaps in my me-made-wardrobe, which I'm trying to fill before May! :)
