#mmmay16 Week 4

Here is week 4 and technically week 5. I can’t believe Me Made May is over, I had so much fun! I plan on writing a “What Did I Learn From MMMay16?” post in the next few days to kind of recap and share a few things. I planned on writing it today but Nico is sick again 🙁 He’s home with me and going to the doctor in a little bit. Anyways, without further ado:

It’s finally warm enough for a dress!!! I actually whipped this up yesterday. @patternsforpirates Sweetheart Dress in a fun ponte roma from @girlcharlee 😍 #memademay #thatssewamy #sweetheartdress #p4p #slowfashion #patternsforpirates #ponteroma #girlcharlee #dress #funprint #coloredhair #pinkhair #bluehair #mirrorselfie #kidstoyseverywhere #sewing

This is the Sweetheart Dress from Patterns For Pirates. I love this dress! I plan on blogging about this one soon, so I don’t want to give too much away but I can say it’s one I will remake over and over!

Today’s outfit is actually a sneak peek of June’s Minerva Crafts Blogger Network garment. This is the Boundless Maxi dress from @patternsforpirates and there’s even a nursing mod! #memademay @minervacrafts #minervacrafts #minervacraftsbloggernetwork #maxidress #thatssewamy #nursingclothes #patternsforpirates #p4p #isew #sewing #sewist #boundlessdress #pinkhair #bluehair #coloredhair #bored #mirrorselfie #sew #dresses #maxis #finallyitsgettingwarm #comeonsummer #ohio #sewinginohio #cincinnatisewing #fabric

Another Patterns For Pirates but this time it’s the Boundless Knit Dress. This was a project for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network and actually goes live tomorrow, so check back 😉

Today I’m wearing @mccallpatterncompany 6796. I forgot I had this! It’s so comfy and shows my 💪🏻 haha #thatssewamy #mccalls #m6796 #isew #memademay #slowfashion #sew #sewing #sewsocialist

This is McCall’s 6796. I actually lost this for about a year and then randomly found it under a bunch of other clothes. I’m glad I did because it looks nice!

I’m so happy about it being warm enough for dresses! This is @mccallpatterncompany 6700 #fashionstar maxi dress. Super comfy and I even had compliments on it already today! Yay 😊 #memademay #mccalls #mccallspatterncompany #m6700 #maxidress #rawr #swimsuitfabric #comfy #sunmertime #bigcats #sew #isew #sewing #sewist #mirrorself #maxi #bluehair #pinkhair #rainbowhair #slowfashion

This was my most liked #mmmay16 outfit! McCalls 6700 this one is from the Fashion Star line. I’ve only sewn 2 items from that line (that I can remember) but I really like them. This is going into the summer wardrobe rotation.

May 26
This top is the @vogue_patterns #8881 Asymmetrical Top. I haven’t worn this since I made it but I actually like it with a belt and leggings! #memademay #vogue #voguesewing #v8881 #asymmetrical #slowfashion #sewingblogger #blackandwhiteclothing #beltit #mirrorselfie #selfie #bluehair

I really disliked this one when I made it. This is Vogue 8881. I didn’t like it because it was so big and looked frumpy but paired with a belt and tights it looks really good!

May 27
Well hello white legs! These are @grainlinestudio Maritime Shorts in denim that I made for the #minervacraftsbloggernetwork 😊 paired with Mario – because he’s awesome! #memademay #grainlinestudio #maritimeshorts #supermario #mario #sewingblogger #isew #sewing #mirrorselfie #selfie #sewist #ohio #shorts #handmade

I just blogged about these Maritime Shorts earlier this month. Super comfy and go with everything since they are denim. This was the day I clicked on #mirrorselfie to see what was going on with that hashtag and there was some hardcore porn! I wasn’t expecting that on IG!

May 28
This is the Sweetheart Dress from @patternsforpirates it’s hard to see since it’s so dark but it looks very nice! #memademay #thatssewamy #sewingblogger #madtoddler #yorkie #messytoys #sewing #isew

Another Sweetheart Dress already! I feel extra dressy in the black ponte version. Nico was ready for bed and not thrilled about the pictures.

May 29
It’s my birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 This is a Gertie pattern. #b6167 #butterick @gertie18 #shelfbust #vintage #dresses #happybirthday #thatssewamy #ilovemyson #nikolaiplaza #summer #redlobster #memademay #patternsbygertie #fabricbygertie #gertiefabric

I am all kinds of Gertie-fied in this picture! That is Butterick 6167 and Gertie fabric from JoAnn. This ended up being my birthday dress. Blog post coming next week I hope!

The shorts are McCalls 6707 Fashion Star. I love these and they still fit! Yay for stretch sateen! #thatssewamy #memademay #shorts #slow fashion #sewing logger #sew #sewing #isew #fashionstar #m6707 ps I know you can’t even see the shorts 😆 haha but you can check out my blog #linkinbio and go to past projects!

Here’s the other Fashion Star garment. You can’t really see them because of the lighting and the fact they are black. I was hyped they still fit after having a baby! They do have stretch in them, so that’s why. I have plans for another pair of these soon, maybe 2 because I want some capris.

Today is the last day! This is the @burda_style Printed Maxi-Dress 05/2013 #123 The baby is home sick today and this feels a bit dressy to wear around the house. It also feels very low cut for his doctors appointment later lol. But it is so pretty!!! Nico likes it because he can hide under the skirt 😆 #memademay #burdastyle #burda #maxidress #dresses #sewingblogger #blogger #slowfashion

Ahh, an oldie but a goodie! A Burda Style maxi dress. I ended up wearing this half the day because I really didn’t think it was appropriate to wear to Nico’s doctor’s office because Nico already has popped a boob out while we are at home. He likes to pull on the straps.

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should! I post mainly sewing stuff with a side dish of Nico and Guinness! Check it out: @amynxdx
