31 May
So I didn't quite make it to the full 31 days! On Saturday I went to Armageddon and wore my Hell Bunny eyeball dress. However, I did run out to the store in the morning to buy some tights whilst wearing my monthly stitch vintage pattern challenge dress, so that kind of counts right?
FINAL THOUGHTS.....
Generally I don't have any problems with having my photo taken, but a whole month taking photos every day is just too exhausting!
When it comes to dress making - I am very much a "dress maker" rather than a top, skirt or anything else maker. I really need to try and make a few more separates.
I do really favour making things from cottons and May is pretty much winter in NZ! I spend most of the winter months wearing my beloved vintage polyester dresses because I find them so warm without too much bulk. But I DO have merino waiting to be stitched up for winter. I really must get onto that to keep myself warm.
Also, I think I will do self stitched September this year - it will mean I can actually take outfit posts in daylight!

Yay! The month did fly by just like that; even though I *hate* to be taking pictures of myself in something-me-made, I feel the daily chore for this challenge (as you've expressed :D) Well, that's done then!
Self-stitched September, here we come?
I greatly admire your collection of dresses! You look great. And definitely stitch up that merino, so luxurious and warm :)
Well I think you've done a marvellous job of the May challenge. How many people on the street can say they wore something they made everyday? I love all the wild printed cottons you've been using and who knew Avon made boots? xx
I love the Meg dress and how you wear them with those high boots!!!
Of course I'm keen for self stitched September!
Thanks Jo - I have two lengths of merino in stripes. I think my fear of pattern matching is holding me back!
Thanks so much :) Also I have a few pairs of shoes from Avon - they sell a lot of different stuff now :)
Knee high boots is the only way to keep warm walking to and from work :)
Well done on your efforts on Me Made May. I am so loving that blue on you....can't wait to see the first frock in a post. Xx
You did it! Another fab collection of you-made items, love the look of that first dress we haven't properly seen yet.
I think a whole month of daily photos would be tough for anyone, it must start to feel like a chore rather than a pleasure, and blogging is supposed to be fun! xxxx
Love that cobalt blue on you and well done for completing the challenge! maybe I can get my act together next year? xxx
The post will come - I promise :)
I would love to see your MMM Vix! Curtain couture all the way :)
Thank you! I shall blog that dragon dress soon :)
