Me Made May.....week one

For years now, I've watched others participate in Me Made May and thought about it, however this is the year of giving things ago so I'm giving it a go.......

So I then forgot to actually post my Me Made May pledge (ooops) but did manage to get photos of (most of) week one (which I'm chalking up as a win).

My pledge therefore is: I, Kat, of Fantastikat creates, (fantastikat.blogspot.co.nz) sign up as a participant of Me Made May ’16. I will wear at least one item of me made clothing (but will aim for 2) each day for the duration of May 2016.  You can follow my progress weekly on the blog.

So for week one, here goes

May 1 - Ginger Jeans and Liberty Undercover hoodie no photo today :(

May 2 - Made by Rae Washi Dress (first real made by me item I made when I got back into sewing for myself several years ago!

May 3 - Grainline Morris Blazer and Blue Ginger Doll Peggy skirt (I can't find a link to the pattern now, wondering if she is no longer selling? ) 
My small companion in this shot is displaying her me - made Frozen dress

May 4 - Ginger jeans and Fancy Tiger Crafts Sailor Top (ooooh, very obvious in this photo I should have put on a lighter bra.....just to be clear, I didn't leave the house without a jumper today)

May 5 - Another Washi dress, this time made with Flamingo rayon 

May 6 - And surprise surprise my ginger jeans make another appearance, this time teamed up with a knit sewaholic pendrell and By Hand London Victoria blazer

Finally, May 7 - A Grainline moss skirt teamed up with my liberty Papercut Undercover hoodie

What have I learnt in week one?  I really need to make another pair of jeans! I also suspect that my rotation of clothes next week may be quite similar to this week........
