#MeMadeMay2023 I figured I’d wear the Cleo Skirt (in dark blue Brussels Washer fabric) that I actually made during May for my final “Me-Made May” outfit today. Paired it with an old tie-dyed blue tank top and an old lightweight grey cardigan.

#MeMadeMay2023 trying something new today and layering my grey flannel York Pinafore over a stretchy yoga tank and capris. I know flannel’s not exactly a hot-weather fabric but it’s cozy, and I do hope to sew a couple Studio Tunics in linen that I think will also work well for this sort of outfit. Cardigan is a cheap Old Navy one that’s a little older than my kid; they’re not visible in the photo but I’ve mended a few holes in matching embroidery floss.

#MeMadeMay2023 today it’s the blue ikat Demeter Dress with an old storebought lightweight cardigan.

Day 29: kleidigan Trude from ManjiPuh.

#MeMadeMay2023 no handknits today, either! I really like this black ikat Demeter Dress. (The cardigan is a cheap Old Navy one that I got while pregnant with my now-11 year old.)

Day 28: refashioned graphic tee and ManjiPuh skirted leggings

#MeMadeMay2023 it’s warmer today! So no handknits! Just my two-tone linen Demeter Dress (I think this one is my favorite!) and a lightweight silk cardigan that I thrifted back when I was in college.

#MeMadeMay2023 it’s a new (sewn) Cleo Skirt! I had cut it out (of dark blue Brussels Washer fabric) last summer but never got around to seeing it up. Paired it with a storebought top whose print I love (scattered blue “thumbprints”) but whose fit I don’t (so I never wear it without a cardigan), and my (knit) dark blue Farmhouse Cardigan, because it was still chilly this morning.

#MeMadeMay2023 it’s a repeat outfit! Another chilly day called for something warm and cozy, and my (sewn) grey flannel York Pinafore with my (knit) grey Farmhouse Cardigan and my (knit) grey DRK Everyday Socks) fit the bill. I know it’s fun to show off all sorts of different outfits, but the truth is that I wear my me-made stuff a LOT, and avoiding repeats just seems wasteful to me.

#MeMadeMay2023 Wearing my very first (sewn) Demeter Dress today, in undyed Essex linen/cotton, along with a crappy Lands End turquoise cardigan and some Athleta turquoise capri leggings for extra warmth. I’m still not sure that undyed linen is that great for me, since I’m so pale, but I do like it paired with turquoise.

I don't know why but I rarely wear this Hepburn top by Charm Patterns. Just like all of Gertie's indie patterns, it fits like a dream.

#MeMadeMay2023 today’s outfit is my (sewn) pink/purple/blue striped Cleo Skirt, paired with a navy blue King Arthur Flour t-shirt I picked up on clearance while ordering flour containers. Also my (knit) purple Little Wave cardigan, which I probably won’t need once it warms up this afternoon.

#MeMadeMay2023 still (light) sweater weather here. Paired my (knit) light purple Vita de Vie pullover with my (sewn) magenta plaid Cleo Skirt today.

Day 22 is a top that I purchased from Dharma Trading and dyed. The pictures don't do the color justice. I LOVE the colors on this one.

#MeMadeMay2023 these “in between” temperature (50-60F) rainy days are tricky for me to dress for…they’re obviously warmer than the winter days when I need ALL the wool layers, but I still tend to feel cold. So I went with an oddball pairing of my (sewn) sleeveless blue ikat Demeter Dress under my probably overly-warm modified Cobblestone Sweater in blue hand-dyed BFL that I knit well over a decade ago - it’s basically my handknit wool version of a cozy sweatshirt.

#MeMadeMay2023 it’s supposed to warm up today, but I was chilly this morning, so I layered my (knit) green & teal Pressed Flowers shawl over my outfit, which is my (sewn) Demeter Dress in teal Mariner’s Cloth (I love the texture!) and a bright green thin storebought cardigan that I noticed needs some mending at the shoulder seam.

#MeMadeMay2023 Day 18: a refashioned unisex Depeche Mode concert tee.

#MeMadeMay2023 went for a grayscale look today (and warmth, because we had a freeze warning last night and it was cold in our house this morning!). My grey flannel York Pinafore (my first sewn clothing item!), my (knit) light grey Farmhouse Cardigan, and my light grey DRK Everyday Socks.

#MeMadeMay2023 I wanted bright spring colors today, so went with my (sewn) bright green plaid Cleo Skirt with my (knit) bright green Tric cardigan, and my (knit) DRK Everyday Socks in Knitpicks Muse Sock “Untamed”, a nice blend of blues and greens.

@sewing Haven't had much energy for #memademay2023 so far. Life has been pretty intense lately with personal stuff and I haven't felt up to being photographed. But yesterday my partner was photographing magnolia trees in the local public arboretum and she got a few decent shots of me in this top - the pattern is Sunn by pm patterns. I've been experimenting a bit with quilted details in clothes, and that's what's going on with the yoke here. I have other ideas that I've yet to fully flesh out.
