Here's the final round up for this year's me made May. I'm hoping that June will be warmer!
Day 22 - a vintage Laura Ashley dress and Cad cardigan, which I knitted back in 2011.

Day 24 - Yes, it was just about warm enough to justify wearing my
Flamingolex dress - hooray! This is still one of my absolute favourite dresses. With an eye-searingly bright rtw cardigan.

Day 29 - Ocean Waves cardigan, finished in 2012, and
polka dot Simplicity 3774 dress - I must make another of these very soon, I love this pattern! This is the first time I've worn these two together and I'll do it more often - they really go well together.

Day 31 -
Tropicanna Anna maxi dress - I love this, although because it's got a V-neck back as well as front I think I'm going to replace the front bodice with a bateau-neck because it slips off my shoulders rather too easily if I'm sitting down. It's fine when I'm vertical, gravity keeps it in place!

And that's it for this year's me made May. 19 handknitted cardigans and 22 me made dresses - three Annas & variations, three Elisalexes & variations, three Emerys, two Butterick 5748s, one New Look 6824, one Simplicity 1990, one Simplicity 3774, two Vogue 8789s, one Vogue 8728, two Cambies and three dresses which were mash-up combinations of two patterns (Elisalex/Emery, Butterick 5748/Simplicity 2444 and Elisalex/New Look 6824). I've really enjoyed it and it's made deciding what to wear each day easy. I took the outfit photos in batches, usually on Sundays, and once I'd seen the weather forecast for each day I'd look through the photos and pick something suitable. It says something about how cold this month has been that so many me-made cardigans have featured - normally at this time of year I wouldn't be wearing wool!
And now I must do some housework!
