Me Made May 2023: Wrap Up

Well, here we are - another Me Made May has come and gone. I didn't post a pledge anywhere, but I mentally had one. I wanted to wear something I made everyday plus finish my Honeybee Cardigan and sew something new. I made it almost entirely - I forgot to take a photo one day, but I did wear me mades. I also finished my cardigan, but I did not manage to sew anything else. I had a bit of personal turmoil, so I'm fine with the things I did manage. It's also been so nice to be back to my usual size again and be able to wear more of my wardrobe (which I never got rid of, thank goodness in this one instance). So here is what I wore during May of 2023:

1. Sparkle Peony Agnes Top, thrifted skirt

Well, there you have it - I wear the same skirts ALL the time, lol. I'm a little ashamed to admit just how much I wear the same skirts, but since I've been changing size lately I am more limited in what I can wear on my bottom half. It's a good thing, but seeing how often I wore my Purple Hollyburn Skirt is a little crazy. Admittedly, many of these skirts have been put away in a box for a year because I had gained weight and didn't fit in them, so it's been really nice to get to wear them again. I'm still so happy with so many of the things I've made over the years and they are still going strong. It's worth it to put the time in to finish your sewn items well! They will wash and wear so well.

I also am thrilled that I FINALLY finished my Honeybee Cardigan. This project was just cursed, but I persevered and I love it now that it's done. I only got to wear it once since it's summer in Florida, but I know I will get a lot of wear out of this in the future, an d I will share all the particulars (with better photos) of it here soon.

So that's another Me Made May done! How did you do? Did you complete your pledge? Learn anything new about your wardrobe? I'd love to hear about it!
