It seems like it’s Me Made May all the time–like, at least once a year. Holy cow. Regardless, here we go again! A month to celebrate making and wearing clothes, and then, in June, a few days to celebrate not having to talk about or taking pictures of ourselves making and wearing clothes. It’s theContinue reading “OMG, it’s Me Made May! Again.”

Me Made May Recap the First!
All this week I have worn clothing I made myself. Even pajamas! Which you don’t get to see, sorry. Do you care? God no. Of course not. But I am here to do my level best to give you all the justification you need to get roaring drunk. Bottoms up, ladies!
Me Made May, 2015
The Me Made May challenge is a bit controversial in sewing circles (or at least, the ones I travel in), but I enjoyed doing it last year so I’m signing up again.

I’d go hunting for cute prints on Queen West and inContinue reading “the silk-linen dress of doom”
Fixed, then partially Unfixed

Me-Made May ’14?
I’ve been sitting on this fence so long my butt fell asleep. So Me-Made May is an annual thing whereby you commit to wearing a certain number of your own hand-made garments each day/week/over the month during May. Just because. On the plus side, I do like to show off my handmade pieces, even ifContinue reading “Me-Made May ’14?”
