I missed May 1st because it totally slipped off my mind. I know for sure I was wearing a me-made but there is no proof because I really don't have a habit of doing a selfie after I dress myself up after a good shower.
I survived the rest of days so far. I document my daily selfies which I attempted as well as I can in my instagram here account. And do a summary of pictures on my facebook. I am attempting to do it here as well, so I can look back one year from today, what I can improve and what further challenge I can pledge for next year.
I only remembered about Me Made May on 2nd when I am in the office and I saw entries with #MMM17 and looked at myself. Hey I am wearing me-made, so I should really take a photo now and document it immediately. I had always struggled taking selfies, but let's try anyway.
2nd May - I wore my funnel neck Lane Raglan (Hey June)
This one I sewn March this year for a trip to Cameron Highlands.
3rd May - I wore my Charleston Dress, my 2nd favorite from Hey June
4th May - I wore a self-drafted knee-length top
There are some 2 entries mostly for 2 reasons, it was a non-working day. I usually avoid wastage and try to wear just one outfit a day, but some are really stay-home clothes. So ya...
Now,
5th May - Redwoods Joggers (Sew Like My Mom) at home, and change to my Burda Style 7525 when I need to fetch my girl.
6th May - Another Redwoods Joggers matching up my girl's Boxwood Joggers, then changed into our upcycle when we were asked to get ready by the husband
7th May - a mismatched outfit because seriously, it is a lazy Sunday. I wore my Justin pants (Serger Pepper), and wear over a cardigan from Gerobok Ashteen
8th May - back to Lane Raglan again!
9th May - self drafted knee length tunic
10th May - Lane, again! and a self drafted pants
11th May - Lane and Justin Pants again!
12th May - Lane again, do I have that many, really?
13th May - bucket hats (Oliver + S), self drafted pallazo on the first half then switched to our upcycled set for a wedding dinner
14th May - Izzy Tops (Climbing the Willow) on us!
15th May - Burda 7525
16th May - self drafted mid thigh length tunic.
* At this point, I figured, I really need to sew a pair of pants that is good to wear out already. I knew I had to sew that Goldilegs soon.. I NEED them!
17th May - Wore out my lounge pants (pattern from Naptime Creations, i believe) and my shawl which I simply rolled hem with a serger on all 4sides. That night my sister went thru A&E so I snatched my Halifax+Lane mash with its front sewn with an sleeping mind, so I just added a snap at the top and let it open thru the bottom part.
18th May - wore out my self drafted mid thigh tunic (with a horrible neckline but noone knows because i wear the hijab) and one of my proudest creation my skants (it looks like a real skirt in front but really it is a pants with just a front flap)
19th May - I wore my first upcycle project which kicked start my sewing adventure. It was a cropped long sleeve which I didnt love, with a pretty fabric, I turned it into a maxi!
20th May - I love this one but don't like sewing it. This is a pair of pelikat pants I sewn using a batik piece I own. I sewn a boyshorts (MBJM) for my girl that day too. We then switched to my Charleston Dress and a Maggie Dress (Bella Sunshine Design) on her to celebrate my Mother-In-Law's birthday.
21st May - I wore my Lane again and the #67 from B&T to the hospital to visit my sister.
22nd May - Yet, another Lane! Can't you tell that I really truly love Hey June's Lane Raglan?
23rd May - This one is my first knit project really. This is thermal knit which i made into a sweater with no armhole, elastic cuffs and ya.. wearable and proudly done and worn 2-3 yrs ago, today as I looked at it, there are just so many mistakes that I can easily avoid. But i keep it as is to remind me I started off at zero too. :)
I ran out of me-made tops, I still have my lanes, really.. but i figured it has to be now that I start working on my Goldilegs! And I did!
24th May - Proudly wore my first pair of Goldilegs, pattern from Stitch Upon A Time. Awesome fit, I tell ya! Super comfortable, just like her Scrundlewear!
It rained super heavily that day and I was soaked. So I excused myself to sew another pair of Goldilegs.
25th May - Yup, another Goldilegs, with a yoga waistband option this time. Boy, it felt like I am in my pajamas but look oh so good to be out and about! I mean that's what denim knit is suppose to do, right?
Now, about time I work on the Halifax View B (Hey June) for myself.. and matching Hatteras View B for Baby M.
26th May - I finally give the Halifax View B a go and wore it today, even made a matching Hatteras for Baby M, still wearing my Goldilegs. I swear it is too comfy to take off!
27th May - Because laundry is done, I wear my Redwoods again, and one of the first few tops that I sew. Since it is Day 1 of Ramadhan, we decide to break fast at my mom's place so we all wore our matching family raglan set which I sew.
28th May - Lane Raglan and yes... the Goldilegs again, I had it washed and grab it again when it's dry. I am serious.. Go make one!
29th May - Another of my self drafted shin length tunic of which I created my own cuffs. Elastic plus snap because I dont like just elastic which makes it either too tight or too loose.
30th May - My first raglan hoodie which went so wrong. The pattern pieces itself hardly match, the neck was huge.. It was a horror and nightmare before I found the Lane Raglan and subsequently stalk Hey June and got all that I like from there. :p
Last of Me Made May 2017...
31st May - Two of my favourite pieces.. The Lane Raglan with hoodie and the Goldilegs!
SO I made it! All 31 days.. and first day undocumented. I gained quite a number of new followers from the #MMMay17. Most of whom I followed back and found very nicely made clothings.
For next year's challenge, I think I will attempt more bottoms and inners possibly. I've got 3 pairs of Scrundies and surely will make more because it is super comfortable. :)
How did your Me Made May 2017 go?

Wassalam
