MMJ: Days 19, 20, 21 and 22

This is a quick catch up to bring me right up to date with Me-Made-June…

Day 19

Blouse: Newly me-made Violet 

Skirt: The very first thing I ever made! It's New Look 6843, before I had a blog
Shoes: Hobbs
Me-Made Category: Blouse, C as it's only just been born, skirt, A

This skirt is a winter wool skirt which I had to retrieve from its packed-away state to combat the weather.  I've worn it to death, it's very plain but a really good fit, and it goes with everything.

Day 20

Blouse: Me-made Rabbit blouse

Skirt: Gap
Shoes: Marks and Spencer
Me-Made Category: B

I really like this blouse and will try to wear it more.  Not necessarily with this skirt though, I think just on the knee is a more flattering length for me.

Day 21


Blouse: Boden
Skirt: Me-made Beignet
Shoes: Clarks
Me-Made Category: A

My Beignet is fast becoming the skirt equivalent of my 1940's trousers.  A second version is right at the top of my list after MMJ is finished.

Day 22


Cardigan: John Smedley
Necklace: Superdrug (!)
Skirt: Another pre-blog make from New Look 6843
Shoes: Clarks
Me-Made Category: A

I made this skirt as an in-between project on my dressmaking course (we were supposed to make one garment per term but you know me, I wanted to gallop ahead.)  I'm amazed by how well made it is: perfectly constructed lining, invisible zip, cool waistband made from bias tape etc.  Beginner's luck I think!

In other news, I made my first Sorbetto top yesterday!  No photos yet, as London was engulfed in torrential rain all morning - so any pics would have come out pitch black.  And finally, I finished my Oolong Dress!!!!!   I'm just leaving it to hang before taking photos but I'm VERY pleased with it! x

  4. How funny - I thought your day 21 top MUST be handmade, but that your day 22 skirt was probably Boden! :)
    Lovely outfits!

  10. All your outfits are great - it is very inspiring to see everyone's wardrobes. I also love the way all your pics are in the same place in your house. I managed a pic or 2 of my Sorbetto yesterday before the rain, and am already wrestling with another one (fiddly fabric, only just enough, needs lining....!) Thanks for the birthday wishes
