Hello, hello! Here’s what I wore during Week 2 of MMM. DAY 6: Unblogged Wiksten tank with button placket (2013 – this weekend) Reflections: I made this tank because I got frustrated with the pants I’m making, a sewing palate-cleanser.

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 »
It seems I wore blue self-mades every day, with only one or two exceptions! And with the morning light being as it is, my black clothes also photographed blue. Day 7: My self-drafted, hand-printed cotton voile tank. I so need to duplicate this project in other fabrics! It’s so easy to wear but still feels … Continue reading »

I love, love, love this shirt. I used … Continue reading »
