Week 2 of MMMayPlus2020

I think my main takeaway from week 2 of Me Made May is how much my indecision about shoes slows down getting dressed in the morning. Since I’ve been working from home, I haven’t fundamentally changed the things I wear but not having to choose shoes that are the right fit for my day ahead removes a huge burden!

A couple of days this week I felt that I didn’t even have the time to head outside my front door and snap some pictures (usually takes me about a minute if that’s an indication of how slammed for time I felt), so I took some even quicker snaps in my cane chair (which I sit cross-legged in as my work-from-home desk)!

A couple of days this week, I wore some forthcoming Muna and Broad patterns that I’ve been sewing up over the weekends and evenings in order to ‘wear test’. The Nullabor Cami is a forthcoming pattern which uses 1 metre of fabric for most sizes! There’s also an option for a bias cut dress, which uses 2 metres of 150cm fabric at my size (which i’m thrilled about)! The shirt is one of the view available in our forthcoming Waikerie Shirt pattern- I love that I’m slowly building a collection of patterns in my stash that I can use to make the relaxed natural fibre clothes that I wanted so desperately to buy but which weren’t available in my size.

I’m not sure if May will see me return to the office- this could create some logistical concerns for my outfits, both in terms of my no-outfit-repeat pledge, and my indecision with shoes!

  1. I am just catching up with blogs and see you have a Waikerie shirt pattern coming out! My parents live in the Waikerie in South Australia, so its very exciting! Is there a Waikerie in NZ? I googled it but didn’t see one. Well done for any photos at all, I haven’t even tried this year!

    1. A little known fact is that Leila and I are both Aussies and we’re going to encourage folks to pronounce the shirt like ‘bakery’ since we remember the bakery fondly!

      1. OMG! My American husband fondly remembers the ‘Wakery Bakery’😂😂😂.
