Me Made May - Week 1

Hey everyone, 
this month is Me Made May and I made a flaky pledge to wear at least one handmade item every day for the month. Here is the first week of my crumbling descent into outfit-induced insanity: 

DAY 1: 
Starting strong, I am wearing a self drafted Nani Iro top, some Esther shorts (from Tessuti patterns) and a velvet Pavot jacket (Deer & Doe patterns).

 All me-made!! A lady at the newsagent commented on my jacket which was really nice and I think the outfit goes well together. Room is relatively clean and I am feeling good about this challenge.

DAY 2: 
I'm wearing a dress that I made 5 years ago out of upholstery linen. I went to a dog show and a lady complimented my dress- two in a row! Room still clean and feeling overconfident about challenge.

DAY 3: 
I had a casual interview for a new internship at a local clothing label and I wanted to wear something cool and similar to the style of the label. Self drafted gingham crop top made by me, pants and scarf from op-shop. Room is getting messy because of uni projects and general laziness.

DAY 4: 
I work at another internship on Mondays. Normally I wear clothes made by the label, but in the name of good handmade fashion I put on a pair of black Esther shorts and went to work. Getting sick of selfies and my room is beginning a steady descent into squalor. 

DAY 5: Wearing same Nani Iro top as day 1. Knitted items made by my lovely granny which I am going to claim as me-made by extension as I made her knit them for me. Go team! 

DAY 6: Forgot to document this one. Same gingham top as Day 3 and a different pair of Op shop pants. Starting to become a serial outfit repeater. Room is too messy for full-length selfie so it's probably best that I stop doing those.

DAY 7: Same linen dress as Day 2 but with a top underneath for an exciting twist. Sick of selfies. Friend from uni says she has a cushion made out of the same fabric. I cry myself to sleep and am plagued with thoughts of Esther shorts and shittier me-made items that I don't really want to wear but may be forced to. Still, I refuse to bow down to this challenge. 

 I'll be doing some winter-friendly sewing this weekend to try and resurrect my handmade wardrobe- stay tuned for next week's update. Will I be a thriving handmade goddess or a broken woman in RTW threads? Who knows! See you on the other side.
