Sewing

Hello folks,

Yes I’m late to this party, but I like to think that I’m doing so fashionably. I will pledge to do the following over the month of May 2014 –

I, Elle of Busy Elle Bee, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’14. I endeavour to wear at least 1 item of clothing, self up-cycled clothing, self altered/embellished or use self made items each day for the duration of May 2014.

This is going to be a challenge and a half – but regular readers know I do like a challenge! Here is a list of what I have worn or used, made with my own fair hands over the past week (pictures in due course!):

1st – Black and white polka dot “Attack the stash” skirt – worn with white, sleeveless shirt, black jacket and black shoes
2nd – Cath Kidston fabric shopping bag
3rd – Cath Kidston blue dot cushion cover
4th – Up-cycled dress hem turned into a head scarf
5th – Headband – made with 100% cotton print fabric
6th – Up-cycled dress turned into top – worn with jeans, trainers and cardi.
7th – Hobbs ‘Hay’ dress, embellished with Guipure braid
