Another year of Me Made May has come and gone. Every day is pretty much me-made for me since I make most of my clothes. I like Me Made May because I enjoy documenting my outfit of the day on Instagram as well as seeing what other sewists are sewing/wearing. I’ve said this before; going through my wardrobe choosing something I made to wear makes me realize that I keep my clothes much longer than most people.
Many of my me-mades have stories. Some stories are fabric related i.e. bought while on vacation or the challenge of trying to fit a particular pattern on a piece of fabric. Some stories are of victory over a particular challenge or of recovery from a mistake. My closet is full of stories and I love that about sewing my own clothes.

Love your style. I was looking for visuals on Butterick 6562, which btw I love your choice of eyelet and was pleasantly surprised by all the other wonderful items you have made. You have a great eye for the right fabrics and are clearly very talented. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration I received.
Thank you very much Mari for your kind words. The inspiration “out there” from sewists is amazing.
Hi Lucy, well I must say you are my sewing hero I just love everything you create from fabric and style to execution. You have certainly inspired the masses and I thank you for taking the time to post your beautiful creations. I look forward to seeing what’s next on your sewing list.
Thank you Jerilynn. I love the online sewing community. There is so much inspiration out there.
Wow, what an impressive wardrobe you have, and much nicer than RTW. I admire your sewing skills and your sense of style. Kudos!
Thank you Kathy.

I love the stories behind me-made clothing. Makes them extra special.
Lovely outfits – each and every one.
Thank you Irene.
Fantastic clothes I was trying to pick my favourites but it was really difficult. I really love the electric blue dress and the polka dot pussybow blouse.
Thank you Mags.
You have a beautiful wardrobe! Why would you not want to keep them forever?
Thank you Vicki. You’re right there’s no reason to get rid of them though my closet is VERY full.
You look great in all you me mades, I did not do daily photos and I have yet to post my blog. I love seeing all the choices you made.
Thank you Rose Mary.
