My outfit for this month was pajamas.
I tried shoe making this month and I like the results.
I'm definitely going to be making more.

May
I started with a quick man's dress shirt to top refashion
to come up with a wearable muslin for my 70s , bell sleeve,
bathing suite cover..... that never got finished.
The month was a bit crazy with Me Made May.

June
It was #sewingtogetherforthesummer Shirtdress time.
The pattern I chose was from my stash as was the fabric.
The style, however, is outside of my standard uniform
so I'm not sure how much use I'm going to get from this.
I failed on the accessories this month.

July
I went with a fun pants and top combo.
The pink check fabric was in my stash from years ago and
the white knit was supposed to be a bolero jacket.. in February.
Great month for stash busting.

This month was supposed to give me a beautiful wrap top with
scalloped edges.... but that totally fell flat.
I was able to squeak out a couple pair of capri pants.
