We just finished another year of participating in Me-May-Made! Me-May-Made was created by sewing blogger Zoe of "So, Zo...What do you know?" It is a fantastic and fun challenge to participate in, wearing as many "me-made" clothes as possible for the month of May. Everyone can make their own challenge to fit their comfort level and goals. This was my second year participating and this year I challenged myself to wear a different handmade (me-made) item everyday and to not wear any items from last year's challenge. In other words, new items I have made since last May. I love wearing my handmade items everyday already so this was a good way to challenge myself. I often find myself wearing a select few items I've made in heavy rotation so wearing something different everyday for a month really forced me to dig deep in my closet. Here is a re-cap of my month of handmade outfits!

I would love to know what skirt pattern you used for that navy and green skirt in week 5! Love the shape of it. Thanks for sharing your makes!
Hi Elizabeth! It is the Madeleine skirt by Victory Patterns, you can order it from us!
JAIME! You're the coolest! These are more amazing than anything I've crafted in a lifetime. Well done!!! Thanks for your inspiration.
Hi, What is the apricot coloured t-shirt - I think it might be knitted. I love the pattern. Love all your me-mades.
Thanks
Susan
Thanks, Susan! It is knit. It's the Silken Straw Summer Tee from Purl Bee knit in Shibui Linen.
Lovely outfits! You have such wonderful effortless style.
so many of these are lovely and vaguely remembered, can you and Amber post a full list of your lovelies, if not too much trouble?
