Day 1
Starting with my love for Sew Over It patterns and a very arty picture courtesy of my sister, I wore my ultimate trousers and new (as yet unblogged, I really will get round to this) Clara blouse. I wear these trousers a lot and each time I have recently I've been struck by how scruffy they're getting and think it's time for an upgrade. When I was looking for the link I realised that this is because I made them 3 years ago!
Day 2
This is one of my favourite combos. My newest Megan Neilsen Flint culottes with a Sew Over It Alex shirt, both made back in January or February. I have three or four versions of both of these patterns now but I think only one has made it to the blog. This is why I love the documentation of my Me Made May photos
Day 3
My Sozo Dolores dress. This is a great pattern and I have a few tops and dresses made from it. While I never think the dress is actually my style, I end up wearing this one all the time!
Day 4
London had suddenly become very sunny and I cracked out the tester version of my Mayberry dress to start off the bank holiday. I want to make another version of this as shirt dresses are basically my work wardrobe!

Day 5
Another pair of Megan Neilsen flints and a recently made New Look 6217 top in a liberty lawn to do some DIY and hang out with friends in Greenwich.
Day 6
One of my Sew over it vintage shirt dresses in an African wax print for exploring London in the sunshine. I love this dress but something happened with the hem line and its a lot shorter than my other versions so not really work appropriate, I'd like to make another in a wax print for work.
Day 7
More London exploring (we had visitors staying) in my flint shorts (get ready to see a lot of these as they're the only shorts I own and the weather in London has been incredible and I'm off on holiday on Wednesday!), plantain t-shirt and pants made from the plantain scraps. I'm very excited by my first forays into knicker making and geekily happy when I can match them to my outwear like I did today!
Day 8
I wore my psychedelic 70s dress. I love this fabric but I was too fidgety in the dress all day, it made me feel uncomfortable as it pulled across the hips and stomach when I sat down. This has always been an issue but now I have decided that this is one for the refashioning pile (got to reuse that great fabric).
I also decided to make a start on my coordinating wardrobe and pulled out all my summer separates and worked out what went together and what needs a match. All in all a pretty good start to me-made-may.
