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 second update of my progress.
May 6, 2013
What: The Stripey Renfrew
Where: To a tough day at work. And, that’s about all I want to say about that!

May 7, 2013
What: The Straight-Legged Betty Jeans
Where: To work up until track practice. A good hard run always does a body good!

May 8, 2013
What: The Crazy Bow Top
Where: To work and then to a Cinco de Mayo party that had actually become an Ocho de Mayo party.

May 9, 2013
What: The Golden Archer Buttondown
Where: To work and then to another Thursday night Downton Abbey marathon with my neighbors. We’re now finally half way through season two!

May 10, 2013
What: The Cream Cowl Renfrew
Where: To work and then a night of homemade pizza, movies, and moving chores. I’m showing off my tiny sewing corner for this week’s Friday theme. It’s become a lot less colorful since my wall of thread and my bulletin board have already been taken down and packed up. I can’t wait to see what kind of sewing space I’ll be able to create once we get to Seattle. Our apartment will only be slightly larger, but it will have a second bedroom, so I’m hoping we’ll be able to turn it into a nice library/office/sewing room. Just a few more weeks!

What: The “Paint Me a ?” Minoru
Where: To a day at the beach with co-workers that served as both a baby shower for two colleagues whose wives are coincidentally due on the same day and a farewell party for me. Though it was a beautiful day, it was overcast and chilly, which meant the jacket was a necessity. Also, if you’ll notice, I’m a bit pink. Despite putting sunscreen on twice, I got way too much sun.

What: The Paint Me a Maxi Dress
Where: To a backyard brunch with friends to celebrate Mother’s Day. Happy day to all!

Reflections on the week:
- I might as well be repeating Tilly’s One Week One Pattern challenge with as many Renfrews as I wore this week! What can I say – it is a favorite pattern of mine. In fact, I plan to make another bow neck Renfrew from an even crazier silk jersey I just got from Mood!
- I love painted fabrics.
What a great week of outfits! I love that maxi dress. Wow!
Gorgeous! And that maxi is what first got me following your blog, so it’s nice to see it pop up again!
I’m finding this challenge so much fun. Love your choices!
lovely! hope you get the perfect sewing space in seattle
Lovely garments – such a great variety as well! Looking forward to seeing more this month!
Your MMM is going great! You sound so busy… good luck with all the moving chores!
