Me-Made-May 2015

I participated in So Zo What Do You Know?'s Me-Made-May this year! I however made a huge boo-boo in my pledge... 

It would seem that this is the actual pledge I made in the comments on Zo's blog.

I, Kacy Burchfield from www.shessewbettie.blogspot.com, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '15. I endeavor to wear two me-made garments each week for the duration of May 2015.

I, however, completely forgot and thought I had only pledged one garment per week, as my Me-Made wardrobe is still quite small. I didn't realize this mistake until I was putting this post together and really wanted to slap myself in the forehead with a big 'DOH'.

So without further ado, my "One-Garment-Per-Week-Because-I-Forgot-What-I-Promised" Me-Made-May Roundup!

Week 1 - Started off on May 1st with this Simplicity 1590 blouse! (There are actually two 'me-mades' in this picture. Can you guess what the other one is? I personally think she's the cutest make of all!)

Week 2 - Cherries and Gingham McCall's 6503 dress

Week 3 - Red and Navy floral New Look 6457 dress. This dress had hung unfinished in my sewing room since October of last year... The only things that I needed do to finished it was the straps, the zipper and the hem. I don't know why I put it off, but I'm glad I finally finished it. It is now one of my favorites. (I posted a sneak peek of this dress... but haven't done a follow up post. I'll be sure to get that done soon, since I finally finished the dress!)

Week 4 - My attempt at making my Flirty Flamingo Playsuit into work-appropriate attire! Also confetti lucite brooches made by me!

Week 5 - I finished off Me-Made-May 2015 with my Lovely Leopard Simplicity 1692 blouse! Paired with a simple black pencil skirt this was a winner! (Please excuse the ridiculously dirty mirror... the little girl from the first picture loves to put her hands and face all over it. #momlife)

I'm so glad that I took the opportunity to participate in Me-Made-May! What a great time, and I've enjoyed seeing all of the sewing projects popping up in my Instagram feed every day. I hope that by next year, I'll have enough makes to make a bigger pledge and wear more of my projects!

Thanks for following along!
