Me Made May 2023

My first MMM, I sewed like a possessed woman all month long and filled out my me-made wardrobe. Last year, my second run through, I committed to handmade everything, aside from a handful of allowable exceptions. This year, I’ve noticed myself started to buy ready to wear again, less out of laziness and more out of languishing. MMM is a good opportunity to reset, and identify the gaps in my wardrobe I need to fill.

My goal? Wear majority me-made. As long as I wear something I’ve made each day – preferably of the visible variety, because handmade knickers and ready-to-wear everything else seems a bit of a cop out! – I will call the project a success.

Going into the month, I already have a bit of a plan. I want to sew a coat I started last winter. Another pair of Hudson Pants would be handy. The black & white long sleeve Plantain Tees I made that first year are in need of replacing; one is MIA, the other showing the effects of multiple wears and washes. I’m in the process of knitting a jumper I would like finished before the end of the month. The Coco dress remains high on my list, and I need some new flannie jammie bottoms.

Thirty one days, thirty one opportunities to have fun with my outfits and be a little bit extra. Look for daily instagram stories, and weekly updates here on the blog. It’s going be fun!
