Me Made May week 3

Another week over!

Weather was up and down, as was my mood.

Mother’s Day was this week, so feeling blecch. Even though I made sure it was a lovely day—breakfast in bed, group bike ride—I want someone else to do the legwork for once. Waah waah.

Sundress with yellow roses

This was the year that I finally bought shoes a size large for the sake of handknit socks, just in time for it to be too warm (mostly) for handknit socks. 

Socks 

The uppy-downy weather made it good for a wardrobe staple for me: the sleeveless shirt, perfect for layering for changing temps. Also another pair of handknit socks, and the jeans that are my bellwether of fitness (bit on the snug side, but we’re getting there.

This is my Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief cosplay. Linen sweater, linen pants. Still working on my Grace Kelly. 

Striped linen sweater, grey linen trousers 

Getting even warmer, a cotton knit top (with a really interesting construction) and cotton twill skirt (just tailored enough to make the very casual top feel work worthy).

And finally, long weekend, more sleeping in.

Progress is slow

I have been slowly, slowly working on a dress. It was supposed to be for my holiday party! Or at least the Panto! Whoops.

Thing is, my Elna Supermatic hates this fabric. I kinda don't blame it. It's cute, but it's nylon. But sheer black with silver polka dots? How could I say no?


Meanwhile I picked up a shirt I had cut out and pinned years ago, and that's almost done. Just need to find the grey buttons I know I have somewhere...
