Me Made May 2024
Happy May 2024 Everyone!
I'm so excited about May. It's the time of year we share all our makes!  And the great part about Me Made May is that our makes can be anything! Garments, accessories, home decorating, crafting, quilting, and the list goes on and on! Â
Thanks go to Zoe Edwards @SOZOBLOG for creating and hosting this wonderful creative event each year. Follow her on Instagram and download her workbook! There are so many ways to challenge ourselves and enjoying every step of creating!
My Pledge for Me Made May 2024
This year, I'm challenging myself to learn how to sew pants and build a cohesive capsule wardrobe, minimizing fabric waste by using project scraps.
What is your pledge? And, remember to make it substantial and trackable.Â

One of my favorite shirts is the Fitzroy Blouse designed by Liesl & Co.Â
Fabric: 115" Batik Cotton - Animal Skin - Charcoal  (1 1/4 yards)
This is a classic shirt with front button closure and a uncomplicated simple neckline. The sleeves have two pleats and a button cuff closure. The back includes a center pleat just below the back yoke adding the right amount of fullness to the shirt hem. A shirt tail hemline is perfect for leaving your shirt out or tucking it in.Â
115" Batik Cotton is my go to for all classic shirts and patterns requiring a more structured woven fabric.Â
