I'm participating in Me-Made-May 2024 and my pledge is to wear me-made/refashioned outfits each day throughout May 2024. My goal is to continue wearing my makes, discovering a new style that fits me and also connecting with like-minded people.
Me-Made-May is a wardrobe challenge created by Zoe @sozoblog and this year is my 12th year of participating. Time flies so fast!

Okay, here is my recap from day 1-7,

Day 1: v-neck tiered dress, rayon fabric and self-drafted pattern.
Day 2: v-neck batik top and denim skirt, self-drafted patterns 
Day 3: gingham cotton dress, self-drafted pattern and my husband wore a button-down shirt, Burdastyle vintage modern pattern.
Day 4: floral midi dress, self-drafted pattern.
Day 5: oversized linen blouse, Burdastyle pattern 7/2017 and denim pants, Ottobre design pattern.
Day 6: square neck cotton dress, self-drafted pattern.
Day 7: pyjama set, self-drafted pattern. I didn't like jersey knit fabric but the print is so nice and I had to make it into garments.
