Wow! Its all over and I feel pretty good. I mean really good. As in, I went a little crazy and gave away pretty much all of my shop bought clothes, except some cardigans, sentimental dresses (prom dress, natch) and obs underwear. And I feel great! To have gotten rid of all my shop bought clothes kind of commits myself fully to the handmade cause. I now only want to wear stuff I have slaved away at on my little sewing machine and that says something about me, and what I like, and that nobody has suffered for (except me, of course!). So yes, Me Made May has taught me a lot about my sewing habits and attitudes towards clothes, and has, I feel, changed both these things for the better. So onwards with the (sustainable) outfits!

Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed reading my Me Made May posts, I have loved seeing the amazing creations uploaded and reading about peoples individual challenges. And as for me, it is pretty much a Me Made Life I have signed up for now, at least for the forseeable future, and I feel pretty excited about the challenges ahead. I am glad to not have to have my photo taken every day anymore, but have enjoyed the 'handmade styling 'element to my MMM13 posts, and so will endeavour to do more of these type posts in the future. But for now, I am off to sew something new! Bon voyage, internet x
