may 2…liberty modified sew liberated schoolhouse tunic
i've been hearing about me made may around the interwebs for  a while…so i thought i'd give it a go this year.  the idea is to wear something handmade every day during the month of may.  i was inspired after i was already dressed on may 1st.  i was happy to look down and see that i was already wearing something handmade!  i've remembered the project each day after i'm already dressed, so i don't really think it will be too hard.  it just so happens that i've made a lot of my warm weather clothing.

i've been thinking about something felicia semple wrote in the post linked above,  "I still go out seeking the special in shops when I need a little pickmeup and sometimes I think I see my handmade as not quite as special."  ​
this is true of me as well.  it is quite silly, since the pieces i've sewn are some of my favorite pieces really.  not all of the things i make work out the way i imagined, but when they do…it's wonderful!

so my goal with this project is to notice and appreciate the pieces of clothing i have created…to see the beauty in the work of my hands.

we'd love to see the pieces you've created and love to wear too!  link away in the comments!!  and you can see lots of #memademay inspiration on instagram all month long!

love, 
jane
