Now who would like to meet up for Me Made May, you don’t have to be part of the challenge, just wear something you made.  How does Saturday 18 May suit everyone and then we can work out where to meet and if we want to visit a couple of fabric shops!

And just in case you haven’t seen this announcement, Kristy has just posted about the next Sydney Sewers Social soiree High tea and high fashion at the American Club on 23 June, can’t wait.

It is getting cooler now and that means you will see this cardigan a bit more yet.

and this means sewing with my buddies at The Remnant Warehouse at Alexandria as part of the Australian Sewing Guild.

Here I am at the front of the store, you can see the Patchwork sign on the window but they have the most gorgeous range of fabrics inside for all tastes.

Just like previous Me-Made months, every Friday during the month there is a challenge and this Friday it is water.

The challenges for the remainder of the Friday’s are still being discussed, and I just hope one of them isn’t one of the suggestion of “upside down”!

The basis of the challenges is to bring some fun to sometimes a very monotonous daily routine of taking our photos.

The dirty water behind me is the river at the end of my street, not that glamorous but looks impressive after a lot of rain!

The handbag I showed you yesterday is my everyday handbag so it gets worn every day

Oh goody, I have time to pop back into my sewing room for 10 minutes before I have to leave for work – perfect!

and there are 265 people who have committed to participating this time around, that is a record number and it will be so interesting to see them all proudly wearing their Me-Made creations.

Today was such a glorious autumn day and here I am ready to head out the door to work.

“I, Sharon of Petite and Sewing sign up as a participant to Me-Made-May’13.  I endeavour to wear only me made garments (not including lingerie) for the duration of May 2013.”

I have a lot of fun trying out new outfit combinations during the Me Made months, so for this challenge I am not going to let any RTW garments creep in, as I think I now have enough layers to keep me warm!
