When the call to participate in Me Made May 2016 came out, I knew I just had to participate this year! Last year I did my own Me Made Week which I blogged about here. It is now the second week in May and I have yet to post on any outfits that I have worn. I was out of town all of last week for a conference and while I thought about taking pictures and blogging, I just did not have the time. I plan on recreating the outfits this week and blogging about them. I made two pairs of StyleArc Elle pants earlier this year and wore them at my conference. I have learned that while it might be warm outside, conference rooms are always freezing cold, so I always pack pants and sweaters for layering.
So I have only been home 2 out of the last 10 days. I need to get organized so I can figure out if I have enough outfits for the month! Yesterday I wore this dress:
I blogged about this dress here.
I may not be able to make 5 days of the work week so I am shooting to wear something I made 4 out of the 5 work days and to wear one of my creations to church. And hopefully I can add some new outfits closer to the end of the month.
I am also participating in the McCall Pattern Company Shirtdress Sew-Along. I have always wanted to participate in a sew-along but haven't been able to "actively" do it. This one just seemed to call me out. I've had a pattern that I've wanted to use and even fabric for it:
I bought the fabric from NY Mood and it has been in my stash. The red paisley is a little heavier so so I am thinking about making that in the sleeveless version and the blue paisley in a short sleeve version. Right now I am working on a "muslin". The "muslin" I am using is actually some madris plaid that is has been in my stash. I am a little worried about the fit as I made the shoulders in a size 10 and the rest of the dress in a size 12. I am just hoping there is enough ease, but according to Mimi it might be a tight fit. I hope to blog about that progress tomorrow.
