So there’s this challenge (you know I love a challenge! How many times have I uttered those exact words on this blog? oh, okay, turns out this is the first time.) in the sewing community where you uh well I guess it’s kinda self-explanatory but you wear clothes you made in May. But well, you decide the parameters. Some people wear only clothes they made. Some people wear something different every day. Some people wear something they made three times a week, etc, etc. I decided to say I am going to wear something I made every day. There are going to be repeats, though I wouldn’t be surprised if I could make it through the month without wearing the same thing twice, except that would mean I could only wear, say, my purple Concord top once, and that would be sad because I really like it.
I’ve been posting daily on Instagram, but I’m going to do a weekly recap here on the blog of what I’ve been wearing (and making.)
May 1: Seamwork Akita, one of the first shirts I made.
May 2: Cashmerette Concord. This was the first time I made it. Is a little more fitted than I wanted, but still wearable.
May 3: Dork alert! The Leralynn dress by Blank Slate Patterns. You get a gallery for this one because I’m proud of all the details that went into this one. The top-stitching is my favorite. It looks like a little vine or something.
May 4: Cashmerette Washington. I think this one looks better in person. I am definitely making another one of these soon.
May 5: Getting creative with my photography here. The aforementioned purple Cashmerette Concord.
May 6: A Cashmerette Webster that I couldn’t get a good picture on. But I like the detail of the straps on the back. It was more complicated to make than you might think! Be impressed!
May 7: Being a dork in another Seamwork Akita, this time one I screwed up but I don’t really care because it’s comfy and I wasn’t going anywhere.
I’m also working on a dress for Day 19 (high school reunion) which you’ll of course have to wait and see, and I made this for my friend Aimee’s new baby and her older son Linus (all the heart eyes.) (Pattern by Patterns for Pirates.)
On to week 2!

Awww mahh gawwd those are all great! That Cashmerette Washington looks particularly comfortable, but then so do the Akitas. I have that pattern but I’ve never made it. I had tried a different woven t-shirt-like pattern and it bombed so completely that I love my nerve. But now I want to try it!
