Me-Made-May15 - Week two!

So! The first week of Me-Made-May 15 has ended, and I found that it wasn't that hard to create outfits that matched and looked good with my refashioned and sewn wardrobe.

I have made 4 more outfits , and with the last posts outfit, that makes 5 (I'm keeping my pledge here!)
These are the outfits:


Monday: Refashioned Jeans,
Darned black cardigan and
shortened shirt.
Tuesday: Shortened shirt,
refashioned grey highwaist skirt and
maroon tights.
Wednesday & Thursday: Sewn Jeansdress,
Grey longsleeve shirt and
Maroon tights.


Monday: Refashioned blue/white top and
Jeans.

I added todays outfit because it was today I wrote^^' Well, I had the Jeans outfit for 2 days because I really like that dress, so I counted it as 2 days. I found that on todays photo I managed to do a pose without looking too wierd, also need to take photos from straight infront, and not downwards.

A REALLY good news is that I got the job I wanted for the autumn and forward! I work in school as a resource-afterschool teacher (not sure what the title is in english) and It's onwards from august! Second year working and I get my first fulltime, onward job! One problem is still here, I really need a drivers license to get there. But don't worry, I'll take an intense-course this summer and get one in like 2 weeks if I don't fail the finals :)

Also, my seedling are growing fine, I'd love them to be just a little bigger, but hey, This is a first-time balconygardener (although I have grown veggies before when we lived in a house). It's hard to get everything right, and I need to water them so they don't die etc etc. Oh well, I think we'll have some tomatoes this year atleast:)

Well then! See you guys next week! :)

Me-Made-May15, week 1.

So! This weeks Me-Made outfit is this! My refashioned Bright-blue Jeans! With a regular t-shirt and a grey cardigan :) Simple and easy.

Refashioned bright-blue jeans,
boom-tshirt (New Yorker)
and grey cardigan (gift)
This is my first day of Me-Made-May 15 and more is to come! I have been trying my best to finish up my pieces for this challenge, but I'm way behind ^^' I have at the moment these items:


  • Bright-blue jeans
  • black jeans
  • flower circleskirt
  • grey highwaist skirt
  • blue/white blouse
  • purple dress
  • colorblock dress (staple dress)
  • jeans dress
  • 70's dress
  • black cardigan
These items isn't really that much, but I think I'll manage with my pledge still! And, I'll do my best to finish more items and sew clothes that I'll use, hopefully!

My other interests have been taking up my time also, my gardening, beading and knitting. I have just finished a babydress to my friend who is having a baby in september, and some more items are being knitted at the moment. 

Also, I'm going to shift jobs! The place I work at right now don't have place for me to trill work there in august, so I have been searching other jobs around town and got a few interviews to visit. I have almost decided on which job I'll accept, IF I get an offer from them. It's in town, as an art-teacher in classes 4-6, and afternoon care of 3-4 grades. Hopefully I get it! It's also only(!) 75% and to make it more worth it, I have applied for a course on distance to be a sewing and crafts-teacher(not quite sure how to translate this) and it's a 2 year course on 50% speed. After that I'll have more jobs than I can get! :) Looking to the future!

I have also started to create some things for baby and toddlers, because they're small and don't require much fabric, and they're cute! Also I need some for my future kids, and I might aswell start now, since I'm quite slow on making things :)

This is all for now, I'll be back in a week and post about my outfits!  Bye!
