I wore my top made here:

but I took the brooch off when washing and forgot to replace so its "broochless" today

#MMMay16, Day 31 so the last day for a whole year.

Today I am wearing my side striped leggings here: 38: side panel leggings with my #MMMay16, Day 18, blue/black raglan sleeved top and my 33: Huge stripey hand knit jumper.

To be quite honest I have found it harder and harder to think of something to wear I have not worn before. As expected I do know what I need to make to fill gaps. Skirts and trousers and hand knit jumpers are the main things so really lots of basic stuff.

I also DID NOT complete my personal challenge since I have still got one side of my easy hand knit bat wing jumper that I have yet to finish knitting. That is a kind of a disappointment to be quite honest but I am simply a pretty slow knitter. I started it ages ago here: 18: Wonderful people and easy knitting bat wing sleeved jumper or sweater

By this time next year I intend to have a much better wardrobe of Me Made.

Thanks to everyone who has popped over to visit me in the last month,

#MMMay16, Day 26

Today I am wearing my Burdastyle oversized hoody from the January 2016 magazine which I made here: 24: Red lace hoody - Burdastyle 01/2016 and black faux leather leggings

With my side stripe leggings made here: 38: side panel legging

So we are in the last few days of #MMMay16!!! I could list all the things I now want to make but I think I will just get on with actually making stuff instead.

 

Thanks for reading & for visiting my blog,

38: side panel leggings

I actually wore these for Me-Made-May 16, day 2 but have not got round to blogging about them as a clothing item I made until today.

This is Butterick pattern B5778.         

The fabric is a lycra stretch bought from Weston Fabrics off Ebay UK, with black one side and fushia the other so the black side panels are actually the same fabric as the front and back panels making them surprisingly easy to make. Next time though I think I will make a smaller size. Same old problem with pattern sizing!

Here is the backphoto:

 Did not realise had such bad VPL! Sorry about that!
You can see the leggings though.

I have so far worn these several times in the last couple of weeks so I would say they are a big success. Also the thing with this pattern is I can see it evolving with piping between the panels and different colours to make sportswear style leggings. I need to get the sizing right first and pay a visit to a sports shop ( with camera/phone) so I can study the "proper" sports-wear designs.

Thanks for reading and come back soon............

#MMMay16, 11/05/16, Day 11

Wore my leggings here: 02/05/2016 Me-Made-May Day 2 with up-cycled camo jacket detailed here:#MMMay16, 10/05/16, Day 10 and my red lacey Burdastyle oversized hoody here: 24: Red lace hoody - Burdastyle 01/2016 and black faux leather leggings

Not the best picture of me!

I have also realised I have not counted either my black leggings or these side panel leggings in my clothing count so need some better photos to add these!

02/05/2016 Me-Made-May Day 2

Me-made leggings and me-hand knitted jumper. The scarf was a Christmas present from my other half and is from Next so not me-made. The jumper is a cable and lace pattern and this is the third time making it because I love to knit it and to wear this particular pattern. The leggings are new. First time wearing. The fabric is a lycra stretch with black one side and fushia the other so the black side panels are actually the same fabric as the front and back panels making them surprisingly easy to make. Next time though I think I will make a smaller size. Same old problem with pattern sizing!

This is McCall's 6173
 

I also made the black T-shirt underneath but you cannot actually see that. The weather was pretty cold so I never took the jumper off for the pictures.
