So, I said I wasn't going to post a photo here every day during me-made May, since I've had comments on my blog about how boring it is, apparently. Sorry. But today is the very first day and I'm kinda pumped about joining in, so... yeah. Here we are! Wearing shades of beige, ivory, grey, just like those beautiful clouds above.
This is a different piccie from the one I posted on the mmm13 Flickr group, because after I uploaded that one I noticed it was actually a pretty lousy picture; one I had taken on a terrible setting apparently ... doh! I'm still learning! Aperture too wide! So I checked through the rejects for this one, which is not so good of my outfit I think but is a better shot, clarity-wise.
It is cloudy, which makes the photo-taking part of my brain leap for joy, the light being so much more amenable to photos; and it is so beautiful and fresh and cool at last. I'm excited about trawling through my me-mades for outfits for this month. I'm excited about the possibilities for layering.

Craig's shirt; Burda 7767, shirting cotton, more details here and my review of this pattern here

Details:
Tshirt; self-drafted, and never blogged before because it was a bit boring, but it was made using the leftovers from these leggings...
Wrap; wrap "f" from shape shape by Natsuno Hiraiwa, cream knit dip-dyed in blue dye; more details here and my review of this book here
Skirt; Vogue 1247, of a piece of curtaining fabric; more details here and my review of this pattern here
Shoes; Betts&Betts; I've had these for many years
Last year, I also included when my family happened to be wearing something I had made on any given day too; so I thought I would do that again. An old photo, but this morning my husband left for work wearing this me-made shirt:Craig's shirt; Burda 7767, shirting cotton, more details here and my review of this pattern here
