I am so excited for my first year of Me-Made-May 2013! If you aren't familiar with this challenge, Zoe from So, Zo, What Do You Know hosts this challenge each year to encourage sewists to wear their me-made garments exclusively for the entire month of May!  Obviously that is a tall order, but the goal is customizable for each individual to determine what they think they can accomplish, while having fun of course!

This is my pledge:

"I, Sally of thequirkypeach, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '13. I endeavour to wear at least four me-made garments each week of May. I also pledge to make one new garment for every week of May (5 garments!)"

While I would love to be able to wear something I made every day, I just don't have a wardrobe of me-made garments big enough to fill that challenge yet! However, with a little creative mix and matching and a few new garments, I think I'll be set to reach my pledge.

Also, I have the top half of my Mad Men dress finished :) You can see the pile of fabric next to it that I hope to pare down with some of my May makes! So many ideas!!! Okay - back to sewing :)


Some of my faves! I'm thinking bow-tie blouse, another easy tee, and a dress with a cut out back!
