My first time participating in Me Made May! As a reminder, I've pledged to wear all me made for the month of May. Here's week 1:

A Maria Denmark Kirsten Tee with a pair of trousers; my new favorite BurdaStyle 10-2013-127A. I wore this to work on what turned out to be a pretty darn hot day.

Remembering how hot I was the day before, I wore an Alabama Chanin skirt along with, yes, another Kirsten Tee. Turned out it was another warm day, so I was glad I skipped the trousers. We're pretty much big babies about the weather on the Central Coast. If it's above 80, we whine about how hot it is and if it's below 50 we think we're going to freeze to death. No work today. I walked the dog and lounged around, drinking cooling beverages, and then went out for Mexican food for dinner.

Cooler today. This is a Renfrew tee topping my first pair of Burdastyle 10-2013-127A. I might need to make yet another pair of these pants in denim. I wear them a lot. Today I was heading up to help my sister pack up 25 years worth of household stuff. She's selling the home she raised her three boys in. We had to stop and reminisce about every second thing we touched, so it all took quite a while.

Which brings us to today! This is BurdaStyle Magazine 02-2013-12, the raglan tee with gathered sleeves. Another pattern I've already made multiple times and am probably still not done with. I paired it with Burdastyle 05-2012-122 (pyjama style pants). I did some more dog walking and then spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon shopping for this and that with my friend Jessica.
So, four days down and I've managed to keep my pledge. Even the photography hasn't been too much of a chore, thanks to The Man. Of course, it's early days yet. We'll see where I am next Sunday...
I think all your outfits look great!! I've got the Kirsten Tee ready to cut out thanks to one of your earlier posts. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll like it. Just enough sleeve to keep the sun off your shoulders. I'm enjoying your garden blog as well as your sewing blog. What a beautiful area you live in!
DeleteI love all of your pants!! I have tons of fabric bought to make pants but I keep putting it off. I am nervous to fit them and such but my jeans are starting to fall apart so it will have to happen soon!
ReplyDeleteOne thing about that RTW fast, it encourages me to try things I'd otherwise wimp out on! I'm trying to figure out a running skirt - wish me luck...
DeleteSuch interesting pants on May 4th. I need to see if they have them as a download on their website. They look comfy and easy.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great ally in The Man. Mine huffs and puffs when I ask him to get behind the camera, because it's So. Hard....she said sarcastically.
Thanks! They were easy to make - one good thing about wide-leg pants, they only have to fit at the waist. The Man says thanks too. He doesn't mind being behind the camera, just so long as he doesn't have to be in front of the camera. He's shy.
