And DONE!! I made it all month, wearing something I made myself every single day this month. Most were existing items, but I did also add two skirts, two pairs of shorts, and a jumper into the rotation, with a pair of trousers almost finished as well. It’s been such a fun challenge to bring my me-made items to the […]
