...until Me-Made-June begins!
I've been inventorying (is that a word?) my self-made and refashioned items, and I think I'm ok to start off with, but I still have a couple of items I want to sew to fill in a couple of gaps and give some more possible combinations. I also need to make a couple of swish dresses for swish parties I have coming up in June (and these can then hopefully been worn to some of the million and one weddings I'm going to this year...)
Self-made/refashioned items
Dresses:
- Floral jersey self drafted
- Floral jersey self drafted with cowl (review of this coming up)
- Leopard print Budapest dress
- Green and white seersucker sundress
- Shortened ruffle dress
- Snake print jersey dress
- Birthday green silk dress with draped sleeves (this needs a proper review too)
- Birthday linen/cotton vintage pattern dress (although this may have turned into a wadder, and may become a skirt...)
- (I also have two Christmas "stunt" dresses, but I don't think I'll include those here!)
Tops:
- Gingham blouse
- Black tank top
- Black oversized T-shirt top
- Blue oversized T-shirt top
- Gold and black wide neck top
- Cream jersey tie collar blouse
Bottoms:
- Jeans skirt
- Black high waisted skirt
- Blue linen pleated skirt
Toppers:
Accessories:
- Jersey strand necklace
- Yellow knitted circular scarf (well, this is almost finished, although I'm not sure it's the right sort of weather to be wearing it!)
- Green and black earrings
- Moderately fluffy petticoat
A few of these are things that I made a while back, and my sewing skills have improved since then (and skills in knowing what to sew that suits me), so I'm not sure I like wearing them any more. Well, this is meant to be a challenge, so I will challenge myself to wear these things too. And if I don't like them I will attempt to adjust/refashion them, or give them away (argh, why is that so hard with self-made stuff? It's like giving away my babies. Even if they're ill-fitting, unflattering and badly made babies). I think a couple of these things might be the wrong season to wear too (it's currently 28˚C here, so all I can think about are loose summer dresses).
Planned items
- Green stripe seersucker dress
- White eyelet dress
- Stripey sheer lawn tunic dress
- Maxi dress
- Swanky summer party dress
- Pencil skirt
- A-line skirt with kick pleat
- White lawn/eyelet top
- Extra tank tops
- Lightweight cardies
- Sweatshirt "jacket"
- Green denim shorts
- Cuffed loose trousers
- Kitchen and garden aprons
- Flowers for hair
- More (as yet undefined) jewellery
Hmm, that's quite a lot of stuff to sew isn't it - and that's just the "essential" things. Better get going!
