It was delayed because I was doing other things but well, I'm glad I finished it and look forward to wearing it daily. It's a simple and comfy shacket. It has low shoulders and is finished with a straight hemline. I used Burdastyle long jacket 9/2023 size 40 for the pattern and shortened the length.  For the fabric, I used cotton chino in beige from my stash.

Me Made May Day 8-14

As promised in my previous post, here is my recap of Me Made May 2022 challenge day 8-14. So far, I didn't find any difficulty to choose and match the outfit during the challenge. Some of my makes are getting old and I think I should replace them. Besides analyzing my wardrobe, I'm enjoying the challenge and noting inspirations for my future makes. 
Well, at the moment my sewjo is low and I hope it will come back soon because I have a few garments waiting for me to finish. them.

Day 8.
I was wearing me-made button-down dress in Jijake fabric and I used Burdastyle pattern (modified). The picture was taken inside Mandarin house, a historic residential house in Sao Lourenco.
This dress was too tight last year and I solved the issue by adding a band on both sides but now is too big, so I need the reduce the sides again 😀
Day 9.
I was wearing a repeated pinafore denim dress from last week, a self-drafted blue t-shirt and a me-made tote bag. I was exploring the city and visited Albergue 1601 in St. Lazarus district. The pinafore dress detail is blogged here.
Day 10.
I wore the comfiest dress in my wardrobe. A self-drafted round neck dress. I used cotton fabric for this dress and I wear this a lot. More about this dress blogged here.
Day 11.
I had an appointment with the dentist in the morning and I wore me-made jeans pants paired with rtw green t-shirt. I used Ottobre design pattern and modified the pants into straight-styled jeans. The pants details blogged here
Day 12.
I was posing with produce in the supermarket and wearing me-made v-neck cotton dress. I used tiny floral cotton fabric from the local shop and a self-drafted pattern. I blogged the dress detail link here.
Day 13.
I wore me-made outfit, Burdastyle Jamie shift dress in cotton fabric and a self-drafted lace kimono cover-up. I love the lace cover-up and I'd love to make more. Both garments are old and I used them a lot daily.
Day 14.
I wore a self-drafted cotton dress and refashioned cardigan. I was happy that the two garments matched. The dress detail is posted here. The cardigan was too tight before and  I added a band in both sides and cut the sleeves into 3/4 length.
That's it for today, I will update week 3 soon but if you are interested to see my daily posts, here is the link on my Instagram Happy sewing 💗
