Hurrah! A chance to redeem my first and failed effort and document my outfits for a whole month this time: Zoe of So, Zo… has announced she will be leading the force that is Me-Made through the month of June, which means I should turn off the computer and turn on the sewing machine. Me-Made [...]

Me-Made-March: some sleep-deprived rambling
Posted in Me-Made...'11, Sewing on March 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Although my camera is broken and I can’t record it, I am still participating in Me-Made-March’11, albeit in a rather low key way. Without the eyes of the flickr group upon me, I have been repeating the same outfits that I wore earlier in the month. Not because I can’t be bothered, but because I [...]
Me-Made-March 16th and a new garden bit
Posted in Growing, Me-Made...'11 on March 16, 2011 | 2 Comments »
My garden is quite exciting – things are actually growing! And although there are still evil white butterflies hanging about, none of my broccoli or Brussels sprouts have been eaten! (Maybe it really does work, spraying wormwood tea on their leaves…) Carrots and radishes have been sown today (I nearly wrote sewn there) and a [...]
Me-Made-March 10th

Apologies for the out of orderliness, but in all the excitement of the weekend I forgot I had taken a photo. 10th (it was worth the wait): Me-Made peacock skirt with Me-Made bow top… in need of a wee stitch behind its wee bow to hold it back in place. Fare thee well, absent stitch, [...]
Me-Made-March 11th, 12th and 13th

Oh boy, what a weekend! I will try not to tell you everything… (What was I wearing on the 10th? I know it was Me-Made, but what was it? Oh, now I remember… it’ll have to be a separate post…) 11th: Me-Made skirt (well, sort of: I cut it out and designed the pockets and [...]
Me-Made-March 7th, 8th and 9th

7th: Me-Made top from the archives: the polka dot braces top, with a pair of braces sewn at the back and clipping to pockets on the front. I made it from my bodice pattern of 2002, made to fit me at university (and generating an A for the finished top, for the record). But the [...]
Me-Made-March 4th and 6th
Posted in Me-Made...'11, Sewing on March 6, 2011 | 2 Comments »
4th: Friday’s earthquake made me very unenthusiastic for having my photograph taken. That lack of enthusiasm continued into Saturday, when I didn’t even attempt a detail shot of my circles skirt. But I do like this combination of me-made peacock skirt with those emperor penguin leggings quite a lot. I think I’ll be repeating that [...]
Me-Made-March 2nd and 3rd
Posted in Me-Made...'11, Sewing on March 3, 2011 | 2 Comments »
March 2nd: This is a wee top with a bow made sometime last year (and blogged about, as I recall) worn with some well-loved shorts from H&M, purple tights, stripey socks (with a hole in the toe, lo!) and the red polka dot gumboots Rata dragged out of the cupboard and insisted I wear. Personal [...]
Me-Made-March-ing
Posted in Me-Made...'11, Sewing on March 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »
One-two, one-two, we’re hot footing it into the year. For some reason I always think of March as the start of the year. In New Zealand, it’s the end of summer, and absolutely everyone is back at their desk again, getting down to it (except, of course, those of us on the eternal holiday of [...]
Plunge taken…

So, I have now committed to doing this Me-Made-March thing, where I pledge to wear at least one self-made item of clothing every day for a month. It’s kind of the kick I need to make some more clothes for myself. I have also implicated my poor unsuspecting daughter Rata into wearing at least one [...]
