Day Fifteen: Sunday
I spent the afternoon in my sewing room, as I often do on a Sunday after completing the most essential housework jobs. I wore a Grainline Studio Scout Tee, with lengthened sleeves, in a tropical printed rayon with Style Arc Elle Pants in navy stretch bengaline.
Day Sixteen: Monday
Starting the working week wearing Style Arc Kate Wrap dress in a printed poly/spandex knit with a Style Arc Nina Cardigan in navy merino knit. I love this cardigan and I need to make a few more in different colours.
Day Seventeen: Tuesday
First wear of my new Style Arc Hazel Dress, finished last night. I made this in a very soft and drapey knit and created a colour blocked effect by using both sides of the fabric. Blog post to come when I can get some decent photos.
Day Eighteen: Wednesday
Another wear of my new Style Arc Barb Pants with boot cut flare in denim stretch bengaline. The top is an old favourite Tilly and the Buttons Coco dress, shortened to tunic length in cream ponte. I do prefer the look of a longer top with my pants.
Day Nineteen: Thursday
Wearing a plain sleeveless dress in light blue ponte, loosely based on Vogue 8904. Still need to iron out a few fitting issues in the shoulder/upper bodice area. The cardigan is rtw. I have realised I need to make a few more cardigans to replace some rtw ones that are becoming quite shabby.
Day Twenty: Friday
I had to resort to another office selfie. Wearing a couple of old favourites: Style Arc Stacie Jean Jacket in a purple stretch denim and a Grainline Studio Archer shirt in white cotton voile. I usually wear this combination with navy pants or jeans, but I tried them with my navy ponte Colette Mabel skirt today and I think it worked well.
Day Twenty One: Saturday
Started Saturday off wearing some old faded black Style Arc Elle pants with rtw T-Shirt to do some painting...no photo of that gorgeous ensemble though. I later changed into a Tilly and the Buttons Coco top in navy and cream striped ponte with contrasting red ponte yoke and pocket, and my favourite navy Style Arc Elle pants. These have been worn a few times already during May.
Feeling happy with my progress so far. I wonder how many more outfits I can come up with before I start repeats...still more than a week to go. Keep posting your photos every one as I love seeing how others wear their me made clothes.
Happy Sewing
I love how you combine your clothes to make such great outfits. That purple denim jacket is amazing :) I've been so bad at getting photos this year, but have been steadily wearing me mades -- I've realized I haven't even got to two of my favourite dresses yet this month!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your lovely comment Melanie. That purple denim jacket is one of my favourite me mades. Glad to hear that you have been wearing your me mades too.
DeleteI've made Simplicity 2603, which is very like the Nina, a few times, and they are worn often.
ReplyDeleteSeeing your Stacies in action has had me bumping that pattern to the top of the queue.
And lots of great combinations there too!
I love a drapey cardigan and the Nina is a great pattern. I have plans to make more. Glad you like my Stacie jacket too and I can highly recommend the pattern. Thanks Paola.
DeleteEvery outfit you've worn is great. I love the way you put them together
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sue. I just need to lift my game now and try making my own underwear and learn how to knit.
DeleteA lovely colourful wardrobe of garments which suit you perfectly. I'm still keeping up with the me mades every day, mixed in with RTW, but no photos.
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind Kathy. Thank you. I'm glad you are joining in wearing your me mades every day even if you aren't taking photos.
DeleteEvery outfit you've worn looks just lovely; all co ordinating so well together and a gorgeous blend of colours. Everything you've made suits you so well. Do you really find the photos a challenge?
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn for your very nice comment. I do love a bit of colour in my wardrobe. I do struggle with the daily photos as I'm always in a rush to leave for work. Sometimes hubby helps out if he is at home, or I struggle with my phone attached to my camera tripod with an elastic band but that takes quite a bit of time. You are the photography expert and I am so impressed with your blog photography. I would love to hear your tips.
DeleteYou have such a lovely personal style and always seem to wear things that suit you. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you Megan for that wonderful compliment. Finding my personal style is a work in progress, and I am influenced by several other sewers, including you of course.
DeleteI am loving your outfits! You made so many pretty garments and they are all suit you beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Hana for your lovely comments. They are very much appreciated.
DeleteYou put together such wonderful ensembles with your me-made garments--your round-up posts are quite inspirational (and aspirational, too). I just LOVE the last outfit with the matching red sneakers: it's my favorite one of all, I think! Cool, casual, and chic, all in one outfit! =)
ReplyDeleteAwww I'm blushing Abbey. Thank you for your awesome comment...you have made my day.
