Me Made May 2017

So, May is nearly here and it's time for me to put in writing what I would like to achieve during this year's Me Made May challenge.  My aim is to wear something me-made every day during May which means having a bit of a blitz on the ironing this weekend.  I've finally got all my summer dresses out and washed and aired them, but there is still some ironing to be done!

These are all ironed and ready to wear

If the weather isn't so great I've got a good selection of hand knitted cardigans that I can wear, so it should be possible to get through the month with no repeats.  I'll try and do daily photos on instagram too.

On the making front I've got two cardigans on the go at the moment which I'd like to get finished,

Madelinetosh sock in Espadrilles

Fyberspates Scrumptious 4-ply in pink (or maybe it's called Baby Pink...)

and I'd like to sew four dresses.  I've already matched pattern and fabric for these two

And I'd like to make a couple of these up with one or two of the vintage patterns I blogged about here.  (I'd like to make up all this fabric obvs, but I won't get through it all in May!)

This should be possible because we have two public holidays this month - the first one being this weekend is a bonus as I'm intending to get all the cutting out done.  I've also got a couple of extra days off work as well, so with a bit of luck and a following wind I'll have six new garms by the end of May.  Fingers crossed!  Although not while I'm knitting or sewing. ;-)
