#memademay2019
This was my second year participating in me made may. And since I wasn’t getting married during it, I was able to really commit! My co-worker Chelsea agreed to be my work week photographer, and I’m sad May is over. She captured the best photos!
My goal was to wear at least one handmade thing a day. And to sew one item a week from my stash. I did that and more.
Here’s an accounting of my me made may—from start to finish!
