This May I’m joining Zoe at ‘So, Zo…’ in a challenge to wear something handmade every day for thirty-one days. This post marks the first update of my progress.
May 1, 2012
What: A self-silk-screened shirt: the wizard from the game Gauntlet in brown on a yellow T shirt
Where: To work. I woke up a little intimidated about MMM’12, and I gravitated towards a favorite self-screened T shirt to ease myself into the challenge.

What: The Straight-Legged Betty Jeans
Where: To work then out to dinner with some very special friends who were in town (one of whom sews and had not only made her entire outfit but also gone to the Gaultier exhibit that afternoon).

Sew Well 
if i didn’t know you were a sewist, i would never guess theses were me-mades, in the absolute BEST way possible!
(and do i see red hair?)
Wet hair. I guess it does look pretty red when it’s wet. I’d never noticed before! I’m one of those people who never fusses (or even brushes!) their hair. Since I shower in the morning, the MMM photos I’ve snuck in before work all have wet hair. I’m not brave enough to color my hair, but if I did, I do think I’d try red.
You know, I think the red hair may be from the Photoshop filter that I used on these photos…
Super cute, Amy! Those jeans are amazing! They fit you perfectly. I love your Renfrew, too. I need to try again with a lighter weight fabric. My sweatshirt version is a bit tight.
Homemade pizza is the best. Eric and I have gotten into a Friday night ritual of making pizza and pasta at home. It’s fun to make and sooo delicious.
Yep, Friday nights are often homemade pizza nights here, too!
Wow they are great and I have to agree with Oona . . . I thought at first they were RTW lol
Wow, I agree with the others, your me-mades don’t look home-made at all! No need to be nervous about the month! I really like your pictures and the style of your post, enjoyable reading.
I love the great variety of your outfits! They’re all totally different, completely practical, and cute! Nicely done! I’m excited to see what you wear the rest of the month (and I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE YOU MADE THOSE JEANS!)!
Great week!!
