I'm still going and I'm still enjoying it! I was super excited about Me-Made-May this week as I was going to get to wear my very special Elisalex dress to my boyfriend's brother's wedding!

Putting together these photos, along with my photos of the first week, I've noticed I've been wearing jeans an awful lot! There are a couple of reasons for this. I generally do wear jeans a lot; my job involves a lot of running around in all weathers shopping, getting hands on and practical doing costume fittings and moving rails around and being backstage in the theatre. Jeans and trainers are the ideal uniform for this I'm afraid! Much as I'd prefer to be wearing lovely, pretty things everyday. Another factor is that when I'm not wearing jeans I wear dresses a lot. Most of my 'suitable for everyday wear' me-mades are tops and I don't have many bottoms to pair them with apart from jeans. I think I need to concentrate on sewing skirts and dresses for a while (hooray!) or perhaps even tackle trousers...eek
