Me Made May 2017 #MMM2017 - Week 2 Round Up!
Me Made May 2017 is in full swing, and I have the next set of posts from my instagram @fairfit share with you. Maybe you will recognize some patterns you have been thinking of making. This week, I'm showing off some of my favorite shirt dresses. In this second post in a series for Me Made May 2017, I am sharing a daily look at my self sewn wardrobes and the custom pieces I've made this last year.
ME MADE MAY DAY 6 - MUSE PATTERNS GILLIAN WRAP DRESS
Me Made May- Day 6 - at the market in @musepatterns #gillianwrapdress - this is definitely my favorite wrap dress pattern. Have you made it yet? The construction is more complex, and the yokes keep it from popping open in the front. I made a few versions of this dress in very light vintage poly, and I'll likely make more versions in the future.
ME MADE MAY DAY 7 - SIMPLICITY PATTERNS 8014 REPURPOSE SHIRT DRESS
Me Made May Day 7 - #simplicitypatterns 8014 made from 2 repurposed men's shirts. Actually I think the skirt is made from a men's pajama shirt ✂️ it's the perfect get messy stuff done like gardening and weekly prep cooking on Sunday shirt dress :)
ME MADE MAY DAY 8 - GRAINLINE STUDIO ALDER SHIRT DRESS
Me Made May Day 8 - My @grainlinestudio #aldershirtdress I wanted to make the alder because @helens__closet and @knitsandsews make such kickass versions of it! I made this one out of this vintage stripe cotton blend that was given to me. Photo @dovecotephotostudio
ME MADE MAY DAY 9 - HELEN'S CLOSET BLACKWOOD CARDIGAN AND SELF DRAFTED SKIRT AND FIT AND FLARE DRESS
Me Made May Day 9 - 🍕Pizza date night with @paulea! He made my bag for me out of some vintage couch material and blue leather. I'm a huge fan of layering, especially dresses over skirts, and cardigans over dresses because I freeze in air conditioning. The fit and flare dress and skirt are self drafted, and sewn from vintage fabric- I'm in the #blackwoodcardigan by @helens__closet. Its my favorite go to layer over my dresses. I need to make the Me Made May
shorter version in black and have the two on rotation through the summer :)
ME MADE MAY DAY 10 - VICTORY PATTERNS TRINA DRESS
Me Made May Day 10 - @victorypatterns #trinadress out on the town. Tonight I had the pleasure of being a judge for the annual LSU junior and senior fashion show with @timewarpbr - congrats to the graduating class! Then tried out this secret place for dinner and it was amazing
ME MADE MAY DAY 11 - FAIR FIT DRESS WITH PATCHED REPURPOSE
Me Made May Day 11 - Fair Fit Dress using repurposed strips of hand dyed cotton. I am very inspired by the visual textures and colors in Louisiana homes, and try to create relationships with fashion and interior and exterior architectural elements. The Fair Fit Pattern is like a puzzle to teach you pathways of fit and customization- learn more about it here and see more images on the blog.
