Day 11<br />
For work I wore black cropped pants ( Simplicity 5259) and a Portrait Blouse from Gertie's new book for better sewing. I had to go out after work and it was a bit chilly so I threw on a <a href="http://www.sewaholicpatterns.com/minoru-jacket/">Sewaholic Minoru jacket</a>.<br />

I love the fact that you can see a pattern, and download within minutes and print, piece together and be ready to go just like that. <br />
<br />

<br />
This was my first Style Arc pattern. This was a very easy pattern to sew. In fact the printing and piecing together the pattern probably took longer than sewing this top up. Even though I did finish all my ends and hems, where the pattern tells you to leave them.<br />
<br />
It looks good with the cowl (the trunk as the pattern calls it) either wrapped or left hanging loose.<br />
<br />
I am planning a reversible one and I was thinking about a grey jersey and a black, I think it would look great the way the cowl neck drapes.<br />
<br />
Not the best photos unfortunately!!<br />

I wore my turquoise Colette patterns <a href="https://www.colettepatterns.com/sewing/moneta">Moneta</a> on Wednesday April 29 while out for dinner and then a walk on the beach in Sarasota (vacation time!). This dress was one of the last things I sewed last year before my sewing hiatus. Very easy to wear.<br />

On Thursday I wore a bikini and little skirt (<a href="http://debbie-sewdebbie.blogspot.ca/2012/11/the-bathing-suit-project.html">Kwik Sew 3696</a>) and then wore it again on Friday May 1, the official first day of Me Made May 2015. I also used a string bag that I crocheted a while ago to take my stuff to the beach and pool.<br />

Saturday, Day 2 I wore a tee shirt that is one of my favorites, "<a href="http://www.tessuti-shop.com/collections/digital-sewing-pattern-downloads/products/our-fav-top"><span style="color: #2288bb;">Our Fave Top" Free pattern</span></a> from Tessuti Fabrics. I need to make more of these, I love the casual slouchy look of this tee.<br />

Because I haven't been sewing much over the last few months and because I got rid of a whole load of clothing as part of having a good look at my wardrobe and my style, I wasn't going to take part this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Then I thought why not! It will help assess where the gaps in my current had stitched wardrobe are. Plus, I have always enjoyed the previous Me Made Mays.</div>

I bought this <a href="http://grainlinestudio.com/2013/02/25/archer-button-up-shirt-31004/">pattern</a> well over a year ago, and last summer I cut out the pieces and after a few seams, put it away.<br />
<br />
Over the February Family Day long weekend this year, I took it out and had it finished within two days (and then it still takes this long to post!!)<br />

I was lucky enough to be chosen as a tester for <a href="http://www.sewaholicpatterns.com/">Sewaholics</a> newest pattern. The <a href="http://www.sewaholicpatterns.com/yaletown-dress-blouse/">Yaletown</a> dress and blouse.<br />

The Yaletown is a loose fit dress or blouse with short sleeves. It is designed for soft drapey fabrics.<br />

I had great fun making this, I am not sure what the actual fabric is. It was some left over piece I found on sale at Fabricland a while ago, and when I saw this pattern, knew it would be ideal.</div>

As with all Sewaholic patterns, this one is named for an area in the Vancouver region. I Googled it and apparently <a href="http://www.tourismvancouver.com/vancouver/about-vancouver/vancouvers-neighborhoods/yaletown/">Yaletown</a> has been revitalized over the years and is now one of Vancouver's hippest neighbourhoods. I am adding to my list of places to visits when I am in Vancouver at the end of August!</div>

When these photos were taken it was spring and that is blossom on the ground behind me not snow! Although with the late start we had to spring in Southern Ontario, you would be forgiven for thinking it was snow!!<br />

I finished a dress and a cardigan as part of the OAL hosted by Lauren from <a href="http://lladybird.com/">Lladybird</a> and Andi from <a href="http://untangling-knots.com/">Untangling Knots.</a><br />
<br />
First up is <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/p-7502-misses-miss-petite-dresses-project-runway-collection.aspx">Simplicity 1803</a>. I really enjoyed sewing this dress up. It was nice and easy and Lauren had a great tutorial going on her blog.<br />

<br />
I am not sure what the fabric is, it is soft and drapey and a pleasure to sew with. It has a soft suede feel to it. As I <a href="http://debbie-sewdebbie.blogspot.ca/2014/06/oal-2014.html">mentioned previously,</a> both the pattern and the fabric came from a Sewing Meet-up. So basically free!!<br />

The cardigan is Andi's own design, the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/myrna-3">Myrna</a>. It turned out bigger than I had anticipated, I know there was an issue with the test swatching of the pattern, so that could have been it. I am tempted to pop it in the dryer and see what happens, even though it is not unwearable as it is. It was a pleasure to knit up so I think I will make another one anyway in a different colour.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of this cardigan was choosing the buttons! I needed up going with off-white one is the shape of a flower.<br />

Even though I am short, I added on a couple of inches to the length and am happy with it. I love red and haven't had a red skirt for a while.<br />
<br />
I think it took me an hour to whip this up on Sunday afternoon. How nice to have such a quick and easy sew for a change!<br />

<br />
I have tried to take as many photos as possible outside in front of my Mulberry tree, to show how green it has got from the beginning of May to the end. (Thanks guys, all three of you, for taking most of the photos!!).<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">As always I have enjoyed Me Made May. This time I gave some serious thought as to what is in my me made wardrobe and I have found that there are things that I have do not wear often. So do I keep these items? I have decided to work my way through the </span><a href="http://www.coletterie.com/?s=wardrobe+Architect" style="text-align: center;">Coletterie's Wardrobe Architect </a><span style="text-align: center;">and hopefully refine my style and have less items that I sew on a whim and that I never or rarely wear because they are not my style.</span><br />

I bought this pattern last year when McCalls had one of their big sales. I actualy bought several patterns and forgot about this one.<br />
<br />
When I was reading the April/May issue of Threads magazine a few weeks ago I saw the pattern had been reviewed and it reminded me of my purchase.<br />

<br />
I used a very thin knit. In hindsight probably too thin, but I did line it so it is not too see through!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
It was all done except for the hems, and I put off doing those as they can easily stretch and ruin the look of a garment. Luckily I bought <a href="https://www.colettepatterns.com/books/colette-guide-to-sewing-knits">The Colette Guide to Sewing Knits</a> the other day (wonderful book) and used a suggested technique of a twin needle (after ironing a strip of interfacing tape on to stabilize). Even if I say so myself the hems look very professional!<br />

This year I want to up the ante slightly and add a self made piece of jewellery very day as well as a self stitched item. A few years ago I was making a lot of beaded jewellery and now hardly wear any of it. This will be a good opportunity to see what I really wear and I can perhaps get rid of some what I don't wear at the end of the month.<br />

I discovered a Marfy top free pattern sew along the other day. Of course it was back in January, but better late than never!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have been wanting to try a Marfy pattern for a while but have been very intimidated! But thanks to both free patterns on the <a href="http://www.marfy.it/our-patterns/free-sewing-patterns/">Marfy website</a> and wonderful instructions from <a href="http://achallengingsew.typepad.com/my-blog/marfy-free-patterns-sew-along.html">A Challenging Sew</a> I have made a top this week.<br />
<br />
This is my wearable muslin. I have a beautiful red silk that my mum bought me back from a recent trip to Hong Kong that I plan to do the "real" one in.<br />
<br />

<br />
I ended up wearing it last night. We had friends over for dinner and it was perfect paired with skinny black jeans and a little black cardigan.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I used a piece of fabric of unknown content, perhaps rayon (viscose?), very soft with a nice drape. I used couture techniques as suggested in the sew along such as hand stitching the gathered section when attaching the top to the collar for softer gathers, back dart opening and lots of hand stitching.<br />

<br />
I purchased the fabric in March last year on a trip to Seattle, at a fabric store called <a href="http://www.nancyssewingbasket.com/">Nancy's Sewing Basket.</a> Instead of souvenirs I like to bring home some fabric or yarn from a trip!<br />
<br />
It is a light weight twill type fabric in dove grey. I added a black and white contrast fabric for the tabs, belt and under the storm flaps.<br />
