I, Jasmin, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’15. I endeavour to wear at least one me-made or refashioned gament each day for the duration of May 2015!
After I had a lot of fun with Me Made May last year, I decided to take part again. My personal challenge is (still) to add more colour to my mostly black wardrobe but you may see, so far the only other colour I managed to add is (off-)white… LOL! Continue reading
Oh man, I love this dress! I mean, seriously, what can you do if you love stripes and jersey and you come along a fabric like that? It’s a light-weighted polo piqué, elastic but not growing, the creme colour is exactely the tone I do not look like your common dead body in so… there is no way around it, is it? Continue reading
Way back in July I made this awesome Linen Dress that I couldn’t get out all over the rest of summer. Unfortunately now it’s a tad too cold, I should have a look around for a decent matching cardigan or even make one myself. I’ve never made a cardigan, that would be a goal for chilly but still mild autumn days to come. Continue reading
Phew.
I made it! Even if I missed blogging about the last two roundups in time: Me-Made-May’14, a project initiated by Zoe. As to my pledge I wore primarily me-made clothing and or accessories each day of May 2014. I also found out a lot about my wardrobe needs and even managed to fill some gaps already. What I didn’t do was taking my everyday picture but at least I wore an already documented garment on these days or smuggled in an older pic 😉 Continue reading
Another week passed and daily I am surprised how many me-made items there are in my wardrobe! Somehow I was always MAKING things without a plan HOW to wear them. Know what I mean? For example I made a skirt or some trousers but didn’t think about a matching top. Continue reading
First top I made based on Lydia by BurdaStyle; I added a half Peter Pan collar.
I am known for sticking to one pattern when I found one I really like. That’s exactely the case with Burdastyle’s Lydia Top! It is a quick sew, don’t need a lot of attention and I didn’t need to juggle with the often weird sizes of Burda’s. I just cut the pattern out in my size, shortened it in the middle section because I need to do this with every pattern and tadaaa… it fitted right away! Continue reading
Second week of Me Made May is over and I mastered it!
The first week of MMMay ’14 is already over and even with a cold I managed to wear at least one me-made item everyday! YAY!
Being a participant in Zoe’s Me-Made-May is something I wanted to do forever but since I am camera-shy especially when it comes to take a photo of myself on a daily basis, I always skipped after the first try in the past. That needs to be over! So 2014 is my year! I am going to do it! YAY! Continue reading
April was a perfect sewing month for me. After I messed up 3 or more dresses since february I finally got the mojo back and made another 3 dresses (pics will follow) plus this casual style combination of top and trousers. Phew! Continue reading
