MMJ: Days Eight, Nine and Ten

Happy weekend everybody.  I've got my craft fair today which is why there haven't been many sewing posts recently.  I have managed to squeeze a bit of Oolong sewing in though which I'll let you have a sneaky peak at next week.  In the meantime...

Day Eight 
MMJ: Day Eight

Top: Me-Made 1950's Wrap Top
Vest: Primark
Trousers: Banana Republic
Shoes: Camper
Me-Made Category: C

My first C category wear, otherwise known as the poor children of my wardrobe.  After twenty minutes of trying to get this wrap top into place, I realised why it's never been worn, whatever I did, it just wouldn't stay in place and as soon as I moved it all went horribly wrong.  Finally, just as I was about to take the scissors to it, I tied it at the front, instead of wrapping it around me and voila, I could walk and move in it.  Success!  

Day Nine
MMJ: Day Nine

Top: Jigsaw
Skirt: Me-made 1960's A-line skirt
Necklace: Anthropologie
Shoes: Clarks
Me-Made Category: B

I've only worn this skirt a couple of times but that's mainly because it's quite a recent make.  With hindsight, I should probably have hemmed it a bit higher, but it's a nice shape and a pretty good basic.

Day Ten
MMJ: Day Ten
Cardigan: John Smedley
Top: Jigsaw
Skirt: Me-made 1960's A-line skirt
Shoes: Clarks
Me-Made Category: C

Another one from category C, but that's because I only made it about two weeks ago.  It's made from the same pattern at the previous day's skirt, but this version seems to have a bit more pizazz to it, probably because of the splashes of red in the fabric.  

Me-Made-June has been great so far, it's amazing how quickly it becomes second nature to wear your handmade clothes every day.  Right, I'm off to stand in a field and flog my wares, wish me luck! x

  1. Ah, those skirts. The print or the second one is really lovely. About that green and white fabric I used, I got it somewhere near christchurch, but I saw the pink version somewhere on goldhawk road.
    Goodluck at the craft fair.
