Me Made May – Wrap Up

I dropped the selfie ball on the last day of Me-Made-May but I did wear my own Juniper pants on the 31st.

I mentioned last Thursday how this has been such a learning experience.

• A month of selfies.  So not everyday, but more than half the days.  I still feel uncomfortable in front of the camera.  I don’t look how I imagine I look, you know?  I think it’s slowly starting to change.  I’m slowly learning to accept the way I look and I’m slowly learning to pose.  Very slowly.
• Toward the end of the month, I started wearing what I’ve made more often than I’d pledged.  I like wearing my makes!  There will definitely be more personal sewing in the future.
• I don’t need as much clothing as I think I do.  Certainly not as much as I have.
• My favorite pieces are the ones that I took my time with.  The Crepe dress and Juniper pants.  I bought fabric specifically for them, made a muslin, took extra care while sewing them up…  They ended up perfect.  I think the care I put in them adds to their value. But they’re tiring.  The easy and fast ones sometimes work out well and sometimes don’t.  I love the ones that work out well, obviously, and the ones that don’t still teach me about sewing for myself.  I need a little of both.
• I have no desire to buy clothing anymore.  Unless it’s something exceptional.  I still want to buy truckloads of shoes though.

And that’s a wrap!
