MMM begins!

I love a challenge like Me-Made-May. As other enthusiastic sewers have noted, the biggest challenge is getting the pictures. Sewing is easy - it is so ingrained in my everyday activities.

Almost forgot - have to take the pledge:

 I sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '13. I endeavor to wear and photograph something I made each day for the duration of May 2013.

Here is what I wore yesterday. I've decided it's OK to take the picture one day late.



This is a column I made last fall and put away without having a chance to wear it before cool weather set it. It is made from Louise Cutting's navy linen. The top is the Pure and Simple shell and the pants are the tapered one-seams, all from Cutting Line Designs.

The jacket is the Metropolitan Jacket from Folkwear. I made it twice when it first came out - once as a jacket and once as a shirt. The red jacket is made from a moderately heavy cotton, sort of a soft canvas. I used bias quilt cotton to trim it and to bind the seams, as it is a one-layer jacket. Also added applique circles to the cute sailor collar.

And here is what I made yesterday - a little bag for my mentee's prayer book. She was confirmed yesterday. Made with love, JHL!
