This is a dress that I LOVE, its Butterick 6446 made in a cotton/linen gauze from Fabric Mart. I wore it to church and its a great pattern, highly recommend. Of course I changed into something more comfortable and casual after church but can't remember what that was. My girlies (below) were also in Me Made dresses. These were their Easter dresses (unblogged) and they look sooooo cute, I'm not biased! Promise!
Monday:
Now this picture was taken for my May Fabric Mart post, not on Monday but since I wore this Monday and knew I already had a photo of it, I DID NOT bother to re-take a picture of the outfit. The top is a modified McCalls OOP pattern and the shorts are Megan Nielsen's Flint shorts which I pattern tested in the fall. This was the first time I wore the shorts all day and they were sooo comfy. I will definitely need another pair of these, so breezy in our Georgia heat.
Tuesday:
Its obvious that I love these Grainline Maritime shorts (fabric from Hancocks). They work so well for me. The perfect length, great pockets, sit closely to the small of back- which is a minor miracle. The only thing that I will adjust next time is the back crotch curve. I just need a little more of a scooped out curve back there.
This was a Grainline day because the top in an unblogged Lark tee in a Fabric Mart Precut knit. So soft!
Wednesday:
This is a Grainline Alder made some time back in a quilting cotton. Its a cheery dress and good for casual days.
Thursday:
No picture on Thursday because I was elbows deep in scrubbing bathroom floors, walls and toilets, changing soiled bedsheets, cleaning carpets, washing a child twice, changing garbage can liners, fetching apple juice, changing DVDs etc, can any of you Moms out there guess what was going on?!! My child had an upper and lower GI virus, ugh, not pretty that day. I almost didn't get out of my pajamas on Thursday.
A little fancier today since I went into work for a short time, so in contrast to Thursday I got to feel like a human being and get dressed! This is the infamous McCalls 6886 and it really is a great little pattern. I get compliments on this dress often and its such an easy make.
Saturday:
I can't report on my outfit for Saturday since it is for an upcoming post for Fabric Mart for their Skirt Sew along month! I am very excited to share it though, and if you are so inclined Fabric Mart has some fantastic 50.00 gift certificates they are giving away each Monday this month during the sew along. All you have to do is post a picture of a you-made skirt and include their hashtag and your name goes into the drawing! Go on over to their blog HERE to see all the details. I would totally enter every day if I were you! :)
So that's my summary of the second week of Me Made May.
I hope you are having a great week,
and Happy Sewing!

I love the girls' Easter outfits. I have 6 kids (4 girls) that like me to make them clothes. When they were younger they matched a lot. Now that they are older (9-20 years old), it's usually just Christmas outfits that match. Sometimes I'll make the same pattern with different fabric or same fabric with different patterns. It gets hard to choose fabric and patterns that they all agree on, but the results are worth it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy! We were all in some form of yellow on Easter, my Butterick dress above, the girls in theirs and my husband wore a yellow stripe tie. It was fun and they were all great sports about it! I am amazed that you coordinate so many with such a broad age range and that they agree to it! Wow! Also just an fyi, my parents grew up in McClellanville SC and we love the SC coast.
