one month to go – The Self-Made Wardrobe Week 48

The Self-Made Wardrobe is a project where I only wear garments I’ve made.
It’s a year long experiment in getting dressed without clothing labels –
it’s a year about noticing patterns, trying things, and observing what happens.

So… next week is the beginning of July… which means that Month 11 of this project is almost over… when the hell did that happen?!

On Wednesday, I talked about the handful of projects that I’m itching to work on, but in light of the fact that:
a) I have 1 month left of the self-made wardrobe, and
b) I’ve been living in archers & maxi skirts
I think I want to focus my crafting time on 3 new pieces this month.

I want to add 1 new archer button up shirt, and 2 new maxi skirts to my wardrobe by the end of the month.

That’s totally do-able. Right?

I think this might have been the first week since I finished my jeans, that I haven’t worn them…

And that’s because all I want to wear right now simple & comfortable maxi skirts. I guess it’s a good thing they’re easy to make – though a trip to the garment district might be in order.
