Me Made May

Here comes May and with it comes what are we all going to make for Me Made May. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, It will be a busy month with the kids finishing school, trying to figure out what lies ahead for the rest of the summer since summer camps and outdoor pools

are still closed, But with all that being said here are what I’m hoping and striving to make for the month of May.

Pietra Shorts - I need a new pair of pants and shorts. There is no denying I need a pair of shorts and its time to make them, I hear lots of people raving about these so… its time to make them.

Orange Linen Dress - I talked about this on my April Pattern Haul. I used to have this amazing orange linen dress from Gap. I loved that dress, super comfortable, the linen made it breathable thru the hot days and it was a way to looked dressed up but not feel dressed up. I’ll be using Simplicity 8888 it is a hacking dress and perfect for what I want to do. I have to do some modifications, but this pattern is a hacking pattern so ripe for it.

Knit or Button down skirt - I want to make myself a few skirts that I can wear with t-shirts and go about my day. Thinking I may look into S9267, another option is an easy knit skirt like M6966 or perhaps both.

Tops - For sure what a couple of tops like Burda 6121, McCalls just came out with a similar pattern which is more of a crop top, so Burda it is. But perhaps I may look into one of their new tops M8200 which can be made with cotton blends or the Adrienne Blouse by the Friday Pattern Company which is all about knits.

Wish me luck, feels like a lot but they would all make great additions to the wardrobe, and its sorely needed.
