A surprise entry for Friday with a top & skirt combo that looks like a dress because they are made in the same lovely drapey viscose! It was the first time I have worn them together and I got lots of compliments from work colleagues today which is always a bonus when you have made the garments yourself.
How are you getting on with Me-Made-May this year?

Loving your commitment to Tatty and me made! I'm not doing a great job of wearing me made clothing. Our weather is also weird - had red rain on Tuesday, which means no school!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie! Did you get your surprise parcel yet? Hope it got to you OK?!
DeleteLooking good :) I really love the top from day 11. I'm making my first scout t at the moment, inspired by all your wonderful and very wearable versions!
ReplyDeleteAs you know I love the Scout tee as it is so easy to make and uses just a metre of fabric! Have fun making your Scout ; )
DeleteI love your outfits, I would wear everyone. I thought the last one was a dress too! Your 2016 personal challenge sounds very much like mine. I am not wearing 'it' because I made it anymore, I am wearing 'it' because it is a better fit than what I can buy. Bravo to you Caroline, thanks for popping over to my MMM16. Jo x

Thanks Jo! It is great to find new sewing bloggers x
DeleteI love your wardrobe and would wear all of it! I thought the last photo was a dress too, it is always good for the soul to get compliments. I am not an owner of the Scout T pattern- why ever not I am now wondering....Your 2016 personal challenge sounds very much like mine.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGreat second week. You have the most amazing selection of necklaces! Love the matching outfit, really works!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Louise! I have been enjoying making an effort to dig out these crazy necklaces - sometimes you don't have the energy to co-ordinate an outfit!
