ME MADE MAY: 27th May - 31st May 2013

Me Made May is over for another year!  Phew.  There was almost 6000 photos in the flickr group by the end of the month and I think I looked at ever single one.  Yep,  now that it's over I will definitely have some more time back in my life.   I enjoy being an active participant, commenting on other's outfits, but if the group grows next year, I think I might need a different strategy!!   

You are all sick of this by now, but my pledge was:


'I, Kirsty of Top Notch, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '13. I endeavour to wear at least one handmade garment each day for the duration of May 2013, with no repeat outfits. I will also make two new wearable items and will not do any panic sewing!'

I succeeded. Yay! Last year I had a pledge of no repeat outfits but I repeated a lot of parts of outfits. Lots of blouses. This year, I did a lot better although I wore my cape a lot. But it's a new May make so I think it's justified :) I also sewed with purpose but not with panic and finished three items. There is a difference! I did find some gaps and really hope that next year I've replaced some of my RTW skirts, but I don't think (?) I'm  aiming to be completely me made so a few RTW items is ok. 


Here's what I wore, Click through the photo for details on flickr and comments from the lovely sewers.
