So far so good in Me-Made-May 18. I developed a cold on the 3rd of May, leaving me only wanting to wear easy pants options that I already knew worked for wearing. So far, none of the options have been unsatisfactory, so I think that’s good news.
May 3: knit sweater, circle scarf;
May 4: blue plaid pants, cat shirt, knit sweater;
May 5: eyelet sweater, forest blouse, hand-crank jeans;
May 6: white dot shirt, kiwi pants (These now have orange stains, only way to keep on wearing them is to shorten them);
May 7: circle scarf, black bolero, white bolero (but too cold for that particular day), blue graduation dress, striped shorts;
May 8: new black shorts and white dot shirt;
May 9: different blue graduation dress (too tight in the front armpit, too wide across the top bust), striped shorts, circle scarf, black bolero;
May 10: green plaid pants, bicycle shirt;
May 11: Harry Potter sweater, grey fake sweatpants, striped shirt;
May 12: winter graduation dress
There are some items that still work but that have seen better days and that might just need to be relegated to the ‘used cloth’ pile and be replaced with similar versions. This mainly concerns the white dot shirt.
From all the outfits pictured above, the only one that had issues concerning fit/wear was the blue graduation dress with darker blue piping. It’s still a bit tight at the front armhole, making computer work uncomfortable. It’s also too wide across the front, which possibly is not helped by the armhole issue. I remember this dress needed extensive re-figuring of the top, so this is probably the reason.
I also managed to ruin an item of clothing. There seems to be a plant (and/or evil weed) in my garden that releases orange fluid when pulled out of the ground. Some came on the green pants and will not come out. In order to make them wearable again, I may need to shorten them to knee-length or possibly even further up. This also means that I need to replace this type of pants (very lightweight and summery) in my closet – i.e. more projects!
On to the rest of May, where I hope to actually wear more of the dresses I own and clearly never wear.
