So.. Me Made May days 3 to 7. I did actually manage to wear something me made in the past couple of days. I hope I’ll manage to keep it up!

So 3: started with a home-made shirt (here), home-made coat (here), and self bought jeans and sweater.

And 4: This picture was re-staged after the fact, as I forgot to take a picture myself. There are pictures of me in my costume, but there are other people on there as well.
It consists of a home-made cloak, skirt, shirt, and overcoat (here) and another shirt (here). I still carry much too much stuff in those pockets, but I had a really fun time! I did also finish my armour in time, but haven’t taken any pictures yet.

5: After Time-Out (when game play is over and you go back to normal life) I decided to keep wearing the under skirt and also put on the shirt from day 3. It’s very comfortable, and really cool. I got told that my skirt has a real glare in the sunlight, which I thought was funny.

6: I decided to put on the champagne coloured skirt (here). I have now remembered why I’m not a fan of it. The fabric gets damaged really easily, the hem is uneven and I don’t like wearing skirts because my underside feels naked. I’m currently making a pair of shorts  to wear under skirts, hopefully that will make me feel less naked.

7: 7 was approximately the same outfit as 6, although I added the coat because I was cold. I’m also wearing shoes that I don’t usually wear. I remember why, they hurt. I don’t know what I’ll do with it yet.

Bonus: me made pajama’s for the past couple of nights (here).

I hope I’ll keep up the ‘good work’!

Well day 1 of MMM ’13 (here and here) is over! And I managed to put on 4 me made clothes to start it of. First, grey pants, the first I’ve ever made and the best fitting ones, frustratingly enough. Second, a blue shirt (here) and third the white jacket I made (here).

Yes, our dog was trying to be extremely photogenic in the background. More so than me, since I accidentally looked the wrong way, although I would have cut my head of if I did look the right way. The fourth item is the coat you see hanging over my shoulder. I made that one too, it’s my go to coat this winter. I think that it’s still cold enough to wear my wintery coat.

Lesson learned: the white jacket has too tight armholes, the other items are fine and nice to wear.

Today, I’m wearing approximately the same thing, although I took off the jacket, because of that lesson. I’m trying to pack my stuff for the larp this weekend. So I put on my super sexy perfectly fitting sweater (yes, sarcasm). It’s really nice to wear though, not constricting in any sense, since it’s like enormous. It also makes for easy manoeuverability, which is nice for packing.

So this weekend I’m off, but I hope to take a picture every day (probably fail though, + they’ll be really similar) still, I hope to have a good time too.
