Hi everyone – here are some quick Me Made May looks from week 3. So far, I have worn at least one Me-Made garment each day, sometimes head-to-toe looks. I am delighted that I have come this far, and I am confident I can finish out the month.
First, the rest of the looks from last week’s vacation, where the temperatures soared into the low 90s after starting the week in the 50s:
I went to the office yesterday and decided to dress up since I needed to get my head back in the game:
And then a couple of work-at-home days with suitably casual looks:
I notice that a few of my me-made items are nearing their expiration dates. This New Look top, for example, didn’t come out right and hasn’t worn well. The neckline is ripply and the hem is wonky. I wear it for things like exercising and working outdoors. Also, let’s face it, my upcycled tablecloth-turned-top is pretty funky (as was intended) but not a great look for me.
Likewise, that Cordova jacket is on its last legs. The zipper area is all rippled – I am not sure why but I suspect that the interfacing shrank when I had the jacket cleaned. It was always a little big, but it seems to be getting bigger as the years go by. I really need to make a new jacket for work.
I see what you mean about the zip on the Cordova jacket but my first thought on that picture was that it’s a great shape and colour on you.

Yeah – what do you think I can do to fix the zip? I was thinking of covering the puckers with a trim, but then I thought that might make it look worse.
