A Totally Me-Made Outfit! Lark Tee & Moss Skirt

I'm back!  Ahh, sorry for the lack of sewing posts... I've simply been too lazy to share :P  I have quite a few items I've been meaning to photograph and share, as well as a bunch more on my to-sew list!

A couple weekends ago, I finished these very spring-y items:  A teal Moss Skirt, and a floral Lark Tee - an entire Grainline outfit!  My first ever moss skirt was a total fail, and it is currently stuffed at the back of my closet somewhere.  As for the lark tees,  I love the three I have already made, but I wanted to try a thicker neckline this time.



Half-Way There!

Wooohoo!  I made it to the 6-month mark!  Like, three weeks ago...  I can't believe I missed that!

Anywhoo, I'm just really stoked at how well this whole project has been going, and I wanted to share it with you guys.

I think it is actually time for another wardrobe cull... as some of my old store-bought things didn't get any wear over the winter so it's time toss them into the donate pile!

Also, I've only cheated a tiny bit!  Other than buying the allowed underwear/ socks/ etc. I did buy a couple roller-derby tanks and tees... supporting local business and promoting my league!  I think that's justified... and they were things I couldn't realistically make myself, as I couldn't really make my own tee's and have them sent away for the screen-printing.

Welp, other than that I have a couple things to blog (moss skirt, more lark tees, a fen dress, a nita wrap-skirt, the hayden tee) and a few things on my list to get done in time for Me-Made-May 2016!


Dotted Adelaide Dress

You guys you guys you guys!  Spring has finally arrived in Ottawa!  So what does that mean sewing-wise?  Well, I'll probably not going to be spending as much time inside... but it also means fun spring and summer dresses & skirts!

To start off the sunny season, I sewed up a Seamwork Adelaide Dress in a Nani Iro double gauze I've been hoarding since last year.



Aires Leggings in Action!

I'm a big ol' nerd and I asked one of my teammates to take a picture of me after practice so I could actually get one up on here - hence why I look like I could collapse from exhaustion any minute!!

I missed any good photos of me in my mermaid-tights, but you get the idea!

Me-Made-May 2016

Wait a minute, didn't the calendar just flip over to April?

I know, I know, but the time to sign up is now!  I came across this mid-May last year when I was still just getting into sewing my own clothing and missed the chance to participate.  I've been looking forward to this since starting my challenge!

If you're not familiar with the idea, just hop on over to Zoe's blog for the explanation.

So!  Here's my goal for the upcoming #MMMay16:

I, Kallie Auld, sign up to participate in Me-Made-May '16.  I pledge to wear at least one me-made article of clothing each day, and document it weekly for the duration of 
May, 2016.

Well!  there you have it!  I'm going to do my best to share a blog post every week with a summary of my outfits for the month of MMMay16, and I'll try to post my daily outfits on Instagram.

As it's only the 3rd of April... I'll have more details the closer we get to May.  In the mean time... I should get on with some sewing!
