May was such a busy month for me sewing wise. With #MeMadeMay2017, I was on a mission to sew lots of new things as to not make my daily mirror selfies super boring. In the end, I think they were still boring, because I wore a lot of things more than once (or more than twice!). But I did end up filling my closet up with 23 (!!) more garments this month – so many fun things!

- Seamly Basic Tee from Seamly x Indie Sew in a pink jersey from Stitch Sew Shop

Pants [Apparently I didn’t want to blog my pants/shorts this month – sorry guys!]:
- Parkside Shorts from Sew Caroline in a chambray
- White Ginger Jeans from Closet Case Patterns in a white denim from Fabric.com <– TOTAL fail. The denim had no recovery and stretched out so much in one wear!

Month In Review:
Favorite – My floral Ayda Top + Kelly Anorak
I feel like picking a favorite this month is like picking a favorite child. I love everything I made this month. If I had to pick, I think I would pick the Ayda Top and the Kelly Anorak. love that Ayda top so much – it is so fun to wear! I feel like I would be lying if I didn’t say the Kelly Anorak was my favorite too this month. It just feels like such a big girl jacket!
Most Worn – Molly Dress
This was such a good #MeMadeMay17 staple for me. It was easy to throw on for work and easy to wear. I see many more of these in my future (see below!)
Most Repeatable – Molly Dress + Panama Tee Dress + Union Street Tee
Gosh I love all of these so much. I’ve already made three Molly Dresses so I feel like that obviously wins most repeatable and the other two are just great wardrobe staples. The Union Street Tee is winning my favorite t-shirt currently so it’s going to be repeated for sure!
What were your favorite makes of the month? Anything you know you’re going to repeat again?
love the jeans jacket and the anorak the most but they all look brilliant. Is the kelly anorak a difficult make? I’m contemplating moving up a gear and wonder if this will be beyond me. Excellent makes.
