It’s nearly half a month later, but I’ve finally gotten to the wrap up.
It was a good May.
I moved (again). I took a vacation to visit my brother’s graduation. I started work on my Master’s research… I made plans for lots of makes and didn’t follow through.
What I did work a lot on was the dress for my Susan costume, since I really want that done before July, so I can get working on the TARDIS.
Here’s a pic of almost everything I wore this month (skipping over a few days for fit parameters and me made cardi only):
And my tallies. First up number of me made garments:
Shirts – 9
Bodysuit – 1
Cardigans – 3
Dresses – 3
Skirts – 2
Culottes – 1
And number of wears per type of me made garment:
Shirts – 13
Bodysuit – 1
Cardigans – 6+ (cause I’m sure I wore one on some days that I didn’t photograph)
Dresses – 5
Skirts – 4
Culottes – 1
So obviously I rewore garments. In fact, I quite often repeated outfits, cause that’s something I like. Really, I have no interest in changing that.
The one thing that I really noticed was that I need to actually work on doing all the alterations that I put into the alterations pile. Both sleeveless Archers, my blue skirt, and some others that I can’t remember are all stuffed into that pile awaiting the day that I get bored enough to fix them. But I definitely shouldn’t have waited, because it definitely limited my options… To the point that I took out a sleeveless Archer for the last day, since all it really needs is to fix the bias tape before I next wash it, since the fabric frayed beyond that.
I do need to be a better packer for trips… Not all of my trip wardrobe worked together, and since it was much cooler than I expected I couldn’t wear any of the shorts or skirts except the maxi, which made it more difficult.
And I want to rework the other skirt that I wore. It was made a year before I started the blog out of quilting cotton, and is really comfy. Shorter than I thought though… But comfy and cool in hot weather. It needs some kind of lining, though, and pockets. Definitely pockets.
What I learned through MMM?
Always have pockets!
(Actually I learned that before, but it’s worth repeating).
