Hi all, May was a great month for home sewists like me because of Me Made May 2022 and I decided to continue to show you what I was wearing during the challenge. Today's post is the recap for day 15-24 and as usual, I was wearing my basic garments. Nothing fancy but they are wearable, easy and suitable for my daily life.  Day 15. I was enjoying our weekend walk in a me-made floral silk blouse, Burdastyle pattern 07/2018, and a self-drafted skirt. I made the blouse last year and here is a  link  for more detail. Day 16.

I wore a gingham shirt, pattern modified from Faitmain dress pattern -  detail here  and me-made denim pants that I sewed recently, pattern modified from Burdastyle trousers pattern 10/2013 -  detail here .

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.

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.

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 t...

Hello, I'm participating Me Made May challenge again this year and this is my 10 year of participating. Time really flies too fast. I still remember my first MMMay in 2013 and I posted my daily outfit on Flickr. I found many International sewing friends during the challenge and I'm glad we continue connecting on the blog and on Instagram until today.  Me Made May challenge is hosted by  Zoe Edwards @sozoblog  and is a wardrobe challenge to help us to improve our relationship with our handmade items, more details are on Zoe's blog  link here .  I wear my handmade clothes every day with very little rtw, so I'm not going to find any difficulty with what should I wear. Most of my garments are old makes, they are still in good condition but some are too loose or too tight and I want to fix those that I can.  Well, here is my pledge for Me Made May 2022, I Hana of @velvetribbon_sews , pledge to wear me-made clothes and refashioned every day du...
