Me-Made-May '12, weeks 1 & 2

I had hoped to be all fancy and make a nice little photoshopped summary of my wears for Me-Made-May before posting them on here. But my brain doesn't seem to want to cooperate on this. Or I'm just plain lazy.

So, I post them in little pictures for folks to see in a row. Many of these pieces you've seen posted on here before. There are a couple of refashions (leg warmers and arm warmers from socks, t-shirt yoga pants, a hemmed dress) that I have not posted on, but they are not difficult projects with any interesting stories to accompany them.

Week 1:

Week 2: 

I know I should provide better explanations for each of these pieces, but wrestling with these little thumbnails has taken the wind outta my sales.

Week 3 is far less interesting. I'll post on that in a couple of weeks, to tie up the month with weeks 4 and 4.5. I'm hoping to get a couple new pieces made before then, because I've already hit the repeat stage since some of my other projects are just not bump-friendly. It's fun wearing all of my clothes I've made, but I do enjoy some variety.

Me-Made-May 2012

So, I'm taking the pledge! Yay! This is my first Me-Made/Self-Stitched event ever, so I'm actually quite excited to join the ranks. :D

I am fully aware that I've (truthfully) painted May to be quite the hectic month for me. With this crazy schedule, my limited wearable me-made maternity wardrobe, and my general n00bness to the me-made forum, I am going to tread lightly. If I can pull off three or more days a week, I will, but I can certainly and safely commit to wearing at least eight items made by me this month.

As soon as I've done my laundry.

'I, Seeks of The Seek Speak, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '12. I endeavour to wear at least two me-made or me-refashioned piece of clothing or accessory per week for the duration of May 2012. I also commit to using my stash before purchasing any goods for projects. When necessary, all efforts will be made to purchase needed goods in the most economically and environmentally responsible manner possible.'


 Looking forward to joining the masses of adventuresome sewists out there this May!
