Reflections on Me Made May 2020

Me Made May 2020

Hey friends! Hope you’re all safe at this time.

Before I talk about reflections on Me Made May 2020, I just wanted to say something. With what’s been happening in the world recently, I’ve been doing a lot of behind-the-screen work on how to best become an ally. Although I’ll be more vocal in my personal life to racism, and be sharing a lot about the current affairs in relation to the current US news online. I have taken the decision to not tokenise the black people in my communities. Instead, I will put effort in changing my spending habits to support black businesses, diversify my social feeds and to address my own misgivings. Going back to posting my white ass face constantly isn’t me being silent. The atrocities that have and continue to happen to black people worldwide won’t end because I’m taking on a trend of being ‘woke’.

I’m trying my best to do the work. I will get it wrong often, too. Feel free to call me out at any time, I will continue to learn. Business is not ‘as usual’, it’s renewed, just not tokenising and fetishising POC.

Me Made May 2020 — Plus Size Handmade Outfits

Me Made May -- Plus Size Handmade Outfits

Hello and welcome to another lockdown week!

It’s Monday, it’s the 25th May and yes, you can eat another slice of cake, there are no laws in lockdown. Well there is, but nothing about cake, so go ahead, friend! Another week has gone by, and honestly I’ve had… ‘A Time’ with it. I seem to be on a two-week cycle of depression vs being absolutely fine. It’s certainly not my favourite, but I have had Me Made May to keep me accountable! I’ve been wearing plus size handmade outfits all this month, and here’s this weeks instalment!

Me Made May 2020 — Handmade Pin Up Style

me made may 2020

Welcome to week two of Me Made May 2020! It’s all about Handmade Pin-Up styled outfits this week!

To say that I don’t know where the hell I am in the world right now is an understatement. Is it really May? But isn’t 2020 over by now? It’s a rollercoaster of emotions recently. I’m finding I’m allowing too many bad habits at the moment which are pulling me into depression. It’s taken a full week to feel strong enough to implement some guidance my therapist has given me, which sucks. My pledge for Me Made May this year was more as a way to actually dress myself whilst in lockdown instead of sitting in pyjamas all day. And honestly, it’s one of the only things getting me through at the moment. Strange to say that #Content is one of the only reasons I’m not asleep 24/7, but at the same time I’m grateful for this amount of accountability.

Plus Size Me Made May — Week One!

Plus Size Me Made May

Well hello friends and welcome back to Monday!

Hope we’re all doing well at the moment? I’m slowly crawling out of some depression and pain cycle at the moment with the help of medication and therapy. Hence lack of posts. However, I’m working on changing that with some new processes in place, so hooray! For now, onto some plus size Me Made May style from the first week!

If you saw my post last week about my Me Made May pledge, you’ll know that I’m wearing everything from my sewing wardrobe throughout May. It’s straight up an excuse to get dressed at the moment. But from one week of wearing handmade, it’s also spurred me on to make. Positives flying around all over here!

Me Made May 2020 — Better Late Than Never

me made may 2020

Hiya guys! Hope you’re all doing well. I’ve been a bit MIA recently because frankly things hit me like a ton of bricks about two weeks ago. Not only did the depression hit me, but I’ve been in a lot of pain recently. So it’s not been the most exciting or productive time. BUT. Things are going to change! May is amongst us, and that brings us to Me Made May 2020! So here’s my pledge;

Me Made May 2018 – It’s All Over Now!

me made may 2018

Happy Humpday everyone! It’s the first week of June, which means Me Made May 2018 is over!

me made may 2018

I mentioned briefly in my last MMMay post about how I lost steam with the challenge. I had a less-than-stellar month, mental-health wise, honestly. Some days were easier than others, but a lot of days were so hard to get out of bed. This isn’t an ideal mental state for trying to wear pretty clothes when you just want to be asleep.

The last week of May I was off from work, and I mostly spent it in pyjamas. The original plan was to go out, be social and wear as many of the remaining eight items I had left to wear. So technically, I failed at wearing every item I have made. I still managed four outfits, even if I did wear my Gingham In Winter skirt twice this month!

But you know what? 16 out of 21 isn’t bad going!

me made may 2018

What I have learned, above all else, is that I miss sewing. I work so much and never make time to sit at my machine, which is pretty sad. But honestly, no store-bought clothes bring me as much joy to wear as handmade. Knowing that it fits me because it was made for me, that it’s the length I want because I decided it, and it has pockets because I want them is something you can’t get with RTW.

It’s clear that I really love gingham, especially my gingham skirts. So clearly I need to get my arse into gear and make some new ones! So this year is two things; Make more. Make more gingham. Not a bad lesson to learn, really.

Me Made May 2018 – Week Three is Freed!

me made may 2018

Why oh why did I choose to rhyme these MMMay18 posts? I’m running out of interest, haha! But it’s midweek-ish, which means an update for my Me Made May pledge is due!

me made may 2018

It’s funny, as someone who enjoys dressing up and documenting outfits, I’m finding being presentable the biggest challenge this year. Work and life is a bit harder than usual this month, so adding on a challenge to wear items I may not often wear is an added stress. This could also be due to my worry of looking good for social media, which is always an issue.

ANYWAY. Wednesday was the Big Ol’ Black Dress. Friday a two-parter with both the Wearable Mock Up top and Can I Be A Raccoon Dog skirt. Saturday old faithful the Last of the Summer Gingham dress (which needs to be repaired) came out to play. And finally, Sunday my When Life Gives You Lemons skirt with my new favourite top from Primark.

So what did I learn this week? Well, mainly that for the most part that I feel I’m moving to a slightly more casual style in daily wear. Mostly for the reason that all I want to wear is gingham skirts and trainers, but that’s because I’m getting lazy. I need to get my arse on the sewing machine and make some more gingham skirts! What colour should I go for next?

It does mean one of the Melody Made bingo cards are nearly complete! Let’s hope the sun comes back out for those last two! I love Me Made May for really making me think about what I wear like this. Who else is joining in?

Me Made May 2018 – Week Two is Through

me made may 2018

Happy Humpday, beautiful people! It’s Wednesday and so it means Me Made May Day an update on what I’ve been wearing the last week. Also a time to look at me only know one single pose when in front of a mirror…

me made may 2018

I clearly had a bit of a theme this week, going for ALL the ginghams! With the Gingham In Winter skirt on Monday for a bank holiday picnic and the Platform Closed Swirl Dress for work on Wednesday. Friday I got a little lazy, so I wore an almost identical outfit to Monday. But the All Hail The Gingham Queen Skirt is too good with this top! Saturday mixed things up with the P-P-Polkadots dress.

me made may

We did finally get two lines in our Melody Made Bingo, though! And the prize we all win is… Okay there’s no prize. Sorry about the second of false hope there, haha! But it does mean I’m doing well in my challenge, wearing nine out of twenty-two items so far. You can check the Pledge Page for the updates!

So what have I learned from my me-made wardrobe this week? I literally just love gingham so much I might as well make a full wardrobe of it. That’s about it. Boring lesson for the week, but who doesn’t love gingham?

Me Made May 2018 – Week One Is Done

me made may 2018

Happy Wednesday darlings! I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend and week so far! I spent one of my days off lying under a tree with a picnic at Alexandra Palace, which was glorious. Sad to be back at work when I desperately want to sleep for a week, but that’s how the cookie crumbles, I suppose. So now it’s May, and I’ve already manage to tick off a few Me Made May outfits!

me made may 2018

Wednesday (the start of my work week) kicked off my MMMay pledge! I wanted to get the cooler-weather outfits out of the way before the UK sees a bit of a heatwave. Funnily enough, I have a grand total of four “winter” items I’ve made. First lesson of MMMay; more tartans.

So Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I wore the Twilight Tartan dress, Tartan Puns Are Hard and an unblogged tartan skirt respectively. You guys loved the Tartan pinafore on Instagram! Second lesson of Me Made May; more convertible pinafores. Watch as I go and make two in ginghams…

Speaking of gingham! The sun came out in the UK again, so Gingham came out of the wardrobe, because we all know I have a problem with check fabrics. I was also feeling the navy, so I had a weekend of Navy gingham. The Check Ah Check Ow Dress is a firm favourite, and the Strawberry Sundae Skirt got the casual treatment. I need more gingham.

So how are we doing on the bingo? Head over the Pledge Page to see!

A Me-Made Life, My Me Made May 2018 Pledge

me made may 2018

One thing I’m not doing so much recently is sewing. It’s a real shame, honestly, because I love sewing and I love creating clothing that is 100% me. If you’re not part of the Sewing Blogiverse, you might not know about Me Made May 2018. Essentially it’s a self-appointed challenge based on clothing made by yourself.

me made may 2018

MMMay is hosted by sewing blogger So, Zo, and has been for a while. The gist is this; You comment on the pledge page before April 30th with your pledge, and then you do it once May starts.

me made may

My pledge is to wear EVERY item I’ve made. Handily, I put together a ‘Sewing Wardrobe‘ page to show off what I’ve made! It turns out I actually have 21 handmade items in total that still fit. (RIP to the dresses my waistline has busted) This is actually a few more than I originally thought!

me made may 2018

So through May, I’ll be updating not only the blog each week with the outfits I make – but you can follow the journey with me through Instagram and Facebook! And we’ll be playing MelodyMade Bingo! With each MMMay outfit worn, I’ll be crossing off the item on these images – let’s see how well I do, huh?

So guys, I’ll see you at the end of next week to see how well I’m getting on with the challenge. What do you think about it? And if you’re joining in – what’s your pledge?

So, what's your plans for Christmas? Staying safe and at home or are you planning to travel? ⠀
⠀

One thing that's been interesting me about @Topsyc One thing that's been interesting me about @Topsycurvy is their One Size garments. ⠀
⠀
If you're like me, that phrase literally just means 'won't fit your left tit', right? I was pleasantly surprised to see a plus sized version! Genuinely didn't think that was a possibility, but hey, Topsy Curvy is out here teaching me some new things! ⠀
