MMM - The End

I missed last week's MMM post, so this one is long. While I have enjoyed wearing me-made clothes this month, and have thought at great length about my wardrobe needs and sewing direction, I am kinda glad it's over. It takes time in the morning that I consistently seem to lack.

This has been a mixed month for our home with horrible sickness, relatives almost dying and then being caught up in the Hastie Group collapse. Thankfully my husband has secured more work, but it has been a concerning week for money and work. Gosh it sucks being a grown up some times...

So the outfits.

Wednesday 16 May - Work
Belle Bow Blouse
Simplicity 2603 - I just realised I haven't blogged this. Details will follow shortly.

Thursday 17 May - Work
Colette Violet in Liberty - I think I may actually modify this blouse to get more wear from it. I adore the fabric, but I don't think I'm comfortable in a peter pan collar.
Modified Simplicity 3850 trousers

Friday 18 May - Play
Renfrew in merino knit
Me Made voile scarf
Adele wearing twisted bubble skirt

Saturday 19 May - Play
Simplicity 2599 with pleated collar
Voile chevron scarf

Sunday 20 May -  Play
 Jalie 2921 in merino knit

Monday 21 May - No Me Made photo.

Tuesday 22 May - Work
 Darling Ranges Dress in Liberty Lantana
Don't you love Adele's nasty day care clothes? I made that scarf for her too, but can't find the post.

Wednesday 23 May - Play. Ollie's sports carnival.
I was a time keeper and wore green to support Ollie's team. As I don't like green, I had to borrow a t-shirt from a friend. This is Ollie coming 8th (aka last!) in the 100m dash.

Thursday 24 May - Play
Renfrew in burnout jersey
Adele in cowl neck dress

Friday 25 May - Play
Self drafted jersey skirt.
Modified Renfrew in merino knit. This hasn't been blogged, but I don't know if I have much more to say about this pattern, except that I'm happy.

Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May - Stress and play. Husband worked and I parented solo. Not sure what I wore.

Monday 28 May - work
Simplicity 2603

Tuesday 29 May - Work
Belle Bow Blouse
Modified Op Shop skirt

Wednesday 30 May - Work
Simplicity 2599 with pleated neck detail

Thursday 31 May - Work
Modified Simplicity 3850 trousers

So there it is. Almost a whole month of me made garments. Seriously though, I almost exclusively own self made garments these days. Maybe next year I'll try to only wear me made garments, rather than only one per day. he he - yeah right!

Looking forward to winter tomorrow!

  1. Good catch up. You've put together lots of lovely outfits. I think it's nice to see a real mix of work and play outfits. I think it gives more of a complete picture of someone's personal style. Despite busi-ness and sickness I'm impressed with how shiny clean your floors look - most impressive!(Love the striped cardi!)

  2. Have really enjoyed following your MMM. I can understand the stress - we went through that last May. Good to hear hubby has some other work lined up.

  3. Well done you! I love the orange Renfrew. I bought some more merino for another but couldn't find any nice colours. I'm loving my yellow one. Stressful times! At least you look lovely through it all. L x
