First, here's my pledge:
'I, Johanna of Projects by me, sign up as a participant of Me-made-May '13. I endeavour to wear one handmade garment each day for the duration of May 2013.'
Read more on the lovely Zoe's blog sozowhatdoyouknow. She's the brain behind this fantastic thing!
OK, back to the t-shirt. I used the pattern from Sömnadsmagasin, the same as this t-shirt:
This time I cut the neckline a little higher and the sleeves a little longer and omitted the gathers on the sleeve top.
I'm quite happy with the fit since I don't like t-shirts to be too tight over the stomach. I decided not to use the twin needle for the hemming, it hasn't turned out well in a long time so now I used a cover stitch on my sewing machine, which turned out great.
Not much to say, but some "cake" that I can use for MMM'13.
Are you in?
xx,
Johanna
Totally love the top and look at you with your new hair! Totally gorgeous! Definitely up for me made may. I think I need to make a few casual tops like this!
ReplyDeleteCasual tops, maybe they aren't the most challenging things to sew, but you need them in your wardrobe, right?!
DeleteMe-Made-May (and the likes) are a lot of fun, I've participated 3 times now. I hope I can do it this year as well, but my wardrobe will be limited due to breast-feeding. Plus I actually need to be able to squeeze into the garments I can wear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can join.
ReplyDeleteYour t-shirt is excellent and it's the perfect cake.
You are brave to think about joining MMM right after having your baby! :) I would never have managed that, but I hope you do well if you decide to enter! Good luck!
DeleteOooh, this is lovely! I love the changes you've made to the pattern! I think I'm going to do Me Made May as well, and it'll also be my very first time!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you'll have fun during MMM! I'm already preparing by making up a few more items before the start of May. Good luck!
DeleteI've never heard of the Me Made May thing, sounds really cool! I wish I could say I had it in me to do that..I do have alot of garments I've made, not sure I've got enough for a whole months worth though! Go you! how exciting! I just love the striped shirt! I keep adding those to my wardrobe all the time!
ReplyDeleteEven though this is my first MMM I sort of joined in unofficially last May. I didn't make a pledge, but I kept thinking about what clothes I wore during that month and tried to where me-made stuff everyday. Maybe you could join in unofficially too... :)
