as previously posted<\/a>, i decided to up my sewing game by participating in Me Made May ’18!\u00a0 as our intrepid readers may recall my pledge was:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. wear at least three me-made items each week<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. sew two new (wearable) items<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. complete the repairs\/alterations of three other me-made items to make them wearable again<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    how did i do?<\/p>\n

    1. wear at least three me-made items each week<\/b><\/p>\n

    i\u00a0did pretty good!\u00a0 i wore me-made items 27 times, with peak me-made in my second-to-last outfit which consisted of THREE me-made items!\u00a0 that was cool.\u00a0 there were only a couple of repeats, too.\u00a0 oh!\u00a0 and i managed to wear every single one<\/em> of my me-made items!\u00a0 every one!\u00a0 i wasn’t sure if that red pinafore was going to make it, but i made it work, dammit!<\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0 sew two new (wearable) items<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"Me<\/p>\n

    \"Me<\/p>\n

    well, i did make two new wearable items:\u00a0 a second pair of Winslow Culottes and a second Drop Shoulder Top.\u00a0 my first Hemlock Tee met an unfortunate neckband issue and serger snacking i don’t care to try to fix because the yellow knit i used kind of awful.\u00a0 i’m chalking it up to a learning experience!<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0complete the repairs\/alterations of three other me-made items to make them wearable again<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"Me<\/p>\n

    \"Me<\/p>\n

    \"Me<\/p>\n

    mission accomplished!\u00a0 three items altered\/repaired to make them wearable again.<\/p>\n

    but, wait, what? there are four photos, you say? yup. turns out that blue skirt didn’t need any altering, so i fixed the polka dot dress instead.\u00a0 go me!\u00a0 although, that being said, i can see having to give the skirt waist a wee bit of a nip in the near future (fingers crossed).<\/p>\n

    i’m super proud of that brown shirt though. it used to be a dress which shrunk in the wash because i didn’t pre-wash the fabric. so, not only did i shorten it into a shirt, i also made my own bias binding from the bit i cut off the bottom to hem it! i’m not going to lie, it made me feel pretty fucking badass.\u00a0 (i just wish i hadn’t cut the front longer than the back — oops, back to reality, ego.)<\/p>\n

    —<\/p>\n

    so, yeah, i completed all three aspects of my #MMMay18 pledge.<\/p>\n

    one unintended side affect was feeling really fucking shitty about myself by about week three.\u00a0 i was so grossed out with myself and tired of taking full-body selfies and hating how some of those clothes made me look.\u00a0 seriously.\u00a0 it was not a good scene.\u00a0 but, now that i’m out of it, i feel a bit better and can look back a the (highly staged and curated) photos and smile while enjoying my accomplishments.<\/p>\n

    anyhoo, that’s my recap.\u00a0 i’m already working on some pants in hopes of making my way to being a jeans-maker by fall!\u00a0 i’m tired of buying cheap jeans which i’m constantly hiking up because my monster thighs pull them off my non-proportionate waist.\u00a0 woo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
