Day 21
On Tuesday 21st, I wore my old self-drafted pencil skirt in black color. I made this skirt more or less 4 years ago. It was very lazy Tuesday but I went out for lunch anyway.
Day 22
On Wednesday 22nd, I wore my Madura Batik Dress. I didn't went out for lunch that day. I spent the whole morning sewing while my baby still sleeping. Then we went out for dinner at night. My husband took a photo of me at the corner of our house just before we left home.
Day 23
On Thursday 23rd, I wore my self-drafted floral dress with small sleeve cap and ruffles at the neckline. We went out for lunch at Italian restaurant here near our house. I didn't blogged it but I posted the details of the dress on my facebook page
Day 24
On Friday 24th, I wore my batik top. Friday's theme was hometown, as my hometown is very far away (4 hours flight) I decided to take a photo in front of our batik décor from my hometown.
Day 25
On Saturday 25th, I wore my old self-drafted semi gathered skirt that I made 3 years ago. The fabric was a present from my dear niece.
I went out with my family, we walked around our city to get some fresh air and sun but we got a bad luck with the rain on the way back home:(
Day 26
On Sunday 26th, I wore my floral dress in printed silk crepe de chine. Based on Built By Wendy Dirndl Dress pattern. Me and my family went to the Venetian Macao and my husband took a photo of me in the coffee shop.
I didn't blogged the dress but I posted the details of the dress on my facebook page
 
That's all my MMM'13 recap for day 20-26. Be free to take a look of MMM'13 groups on flickr, I am impressed with all the contestants, they all had a creative hand:)

Happy Wednesday to you all! I have done my latest project for Burda Sew-Along, I'll post it on the blog very soon.
