Hi All!
This is the final round-up for Me-Made-May!! Can you believe it’s June already!!
DAY 23
On Day 23 it was casual- and a little cooler, so I wore this sweater with a DIY anchor appliqué! Mom did the appliqué on this and I love the nautical theme!
DAY 24
Day 24 was my Bra-A-Week challenge day- so I wore my swimsuit from that week! I love this one- it’s my prettiest suit! Super ruffled!
DAY 25
This was a day for some pretty jewelry- I made this necklace last year 🙂 I really miss jewelry making- I should do it more!
DAY 26
Day 26 I wore this fuchsia and grey lace bra from Week 8 of the challenge, I realize that while I like it, I’m not in love with the shape- it needs a little more work before I would wear it under knits.
DAY 27
On Day 27 I wore these nautical sailor shorts! Mom made this for me a couple years ago and I love them, they’re very light- and the buttons are pretty!
DAY 28
This was another jewelry day- this is actually one my sister made with all these bead flowers cascading down- I love it over this simple navy shirt!
DAY 29
This was my day of an indie pattern make! I made this dress from Sew Caroline- a light summer option! and I did a post on it!
DAY 30
It was a Saturday for strappy bras! and I wore this one from Week 4 of my challenge!
DAY 31
And finally the last day of May was also Week 20 of the challenge and I wore my latest suit! A bikini with a rashguard crop top! I am so in love with this suit!
Well I can’t believe that May is over. May has been an absolutely incredible month for me, truly unbelievable. And I’ve loved wearing all of my me-made things! It’s made me realize how many things I’ve been able to make over the last couple years and how much progress I’ve made!
I think it also made me realize a couple things that I’m missing from my wardrobe- I’m missing some simple tops, and I would like to make some shorts for the summer too!
The challenge has also given me the chance to explore some indie patterns. I have to say that my favourite pattern so far is the Nettie from Closet Case Files. It’s not usual that I buy patterns, and that I’ve already used it three times is incredible- it is truly a staple in my pattern library now! but I’ve really liked all the patterns that I tired and I’ve still got my eye on a few that I didn’t get a chance to make!
Did you participate in Me-Made-May? What did you learn from your month?
Hope you’re having a lovely first day of June!

How wonderful that your whole family seems to be crafty! Wearing handmades from your mum and sister too. You have such lovely wardrobe pieces, good work! I'm enjoying the finished bra and swimsuit parade you have been holding, it's very inspiring to see so many slight variations that make a big impact on the final look.
Thanks so much Mandy!! I've had so much fun this May 🙂
Congratulations on finishing your Me Made May -great pictures!!
Thanks mom!
