I just realized that I’d mis-labled week four’s update as another week three until I started writing this post! I was trapped in time! This, my friends, is week five of Me-Made-May 2012. Day 27: Wearing my flannel shirt; Nathan took this photo at Macrina in Seattle, probably my favorite bakery cafe. Thanks to Nathan … Continue reading »

The Fourth Week, MMM 12: Grey Days
The title says it all; I wore a significant number of grey garments this week! I think it’s interesting that I started with all of my brightest reds, oranges and blues and worked my way down to the greys (with the exception of Day 25). Day 21: I wore a refashioned cotton sweater. It used … Continue reading »
The Third Week of MMM ’12

I love, love, love this shirt. I used … Continue reading »
Minoru Muslin, Me Made May ’12
Muslins aren’t known for their beauty, but this one really takes the cake. (The motley of fabric probably obscured my ability to evaluate the pattern effectively!) It’s a testament to the Minoru that I’m going forward with making one in real fabric. In other sewing news, I’m entering Me Made May, hosted by So, Zo! … Continue reading »
