Me-Made-May '15: Days 17-26

Dear Readers,

          Photographer Sister is temporarily out of town, so for the next while please forgive the tripod and remote pictures. I understand that they are not the best, but one must do what must be done! Here are the next few outfits:

Day 17:

Refashioned skirt, denim button-up shirt, and white tank-top.

Shoes: Payless

Me-Made-May '15: Days One and Two

Dear Readers,

      It is that time of year again. Me-Made-May '15 is up and running! Here is my official pledge:

     

      'I, Emily of Vintage Dreamer, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '15. I shall endeavour to wear at least one piece of me-made clothing each day for the duration of May 2015'

The first two days have already come and gone. For Day One I wore my first variation of Simplicity 1460: 

Flower Bomb Apron

Here it is! Apparently the combination of posting my sewing plan and the desperation for a long, well fitting apron results in this:

One-Week-One-Pattern

Hello!

    I participated in One-Week-One-Pattern this past week. (For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, you can look at Miss Jane's post.) When I first saw OWOP I did not read the details very closely and therefore I thought that we were supposed to be sewing a new outfit from the same pattern every day! I knew that I could not do that so I ignored it. Then when I saw all the lovely giveaways that only participants of OWOP could enter I thought, "Hey, I'm going to go check that out again!" I am glad I did. I had a lot of fun with this, with or without giveaway opportunitues! I chose Simplicity 1460 as my pattern for this week. (Surprise, surprise.) Without further adieu, here are my pictures:

Day 1:

Simplicity 1460 bodice with a half circle skirt.

 When I originally made this dress I took my length of skirt fabric and gathered it and simply attached the whole thing to the bodice. Needless to say, it did not work out too well. The length of the skirt was not the most flattering, what's more, I just did not like it. (Unfortunately I do not have any "before" pictures.) I knew I had to change the skirt and OWOP was the final shove to fix it up. I simply took the old skirt off and cut out a half circle skirt.

Entirely Girl Tunic

Well folks,

         Here is another one. . . Bear with me, this one actually follows the pattern!

Introducing: The Entirely Girl Tunic!

Floral Knit Skirt

Hello Everybody!

It has been much, much too long since I last posted! Where has time gone? I ended up finishing out Me-Made-May, but. . . I stopped taking pictures for the last week or so. It was a big hassle and very annoying to try and remember picture taking every day. Hopefully I'll do better next year! 

Moving on. I have a plan. I decided that Wednesday is going to be my official "posting" day; that way I can try to be a little more organized. After all, quality goes before quantity!

The last week of May I ended up finishing three or so projects. Here is the first of them:

Red-Checks and Teal By The Ocean

Hello!

Instead of a MMM post, I actually have something rather "fun" to write about. Here is my newest make:

Ketchup, Mustard, and a Little Mayonnaise

Howdy!

Here is a fun little outfit that I wore for Me-Made-May:

Me-Made-May Days 12-14

Hello!

There isn't much to say today. Here are my outfits from the past three days:

Day 12:

I am wearing my Red-Checked Shirt and a brown RTW skirt that my mom gave me. I have no idea where she got it!

Me-Made-May Days 9 - 11

Howdy Folks,
    How have you all been doing? I have a compilation of MMM days for you. Since I have worn pretty much all of my homemade items, I can only repeat said clothes, (until I make some more!) so. . .


Day 9:
We took these rather late which is why they are a little blurry. This is my red circle skirt that I wore on Day 1. This time I paired it with a thrifted tee that I got a few weeks ago.
