I, Katherine of willknitformath.blogspot.com, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '18. I endeavour to work on sewing garments for myself every day until my baby is born.
Last year, I wore lots of me-made clothing for Me-Made-May. This year, I have a grand total of four non-underwear me-made (or altered) items that fit my current shape, so wearing me-mades every day or even most days isn't an option. Instead, I want to focus on sewing some nice summer dresses that will work for nursing. I'm planning a Washi dress with a button placket (made of lovely soft double gauze) and this knit dress, which is designed for maternity but I think will work well for nursing this summer. I also bought supplies to make myself a nursing cover, and I'm going to count that as sewing for myself rather than for the baby.
I have a lot of sewing goals between now and when the baby is born: not only the dresses and nursing cover for myself, but also three baby quilts - one is for a college friend's baby (born at the end of February), and it's getting close to done. I just need to finish the second half of the machine quilting and then bind and label it. The next one is for our baby, and the third one is for some friends who are expecting. Their baby is due in August, but it is unfortunately looking like he may be quite premature, so I'd like to have his quilt ready for him before my baby is born. Those two quilts are still in the planning stages. I'd also like to make my baby an Oliver + S bucket hat for the summer and some bibs and burp cloths, and I have fabric sitting in my sewing room to make two new tablecloths for our kitchen table. I'm sure not all of this is going to get done, so it will be nice to have time set aside for high-priority projects! When I have a lot I want to sew and not a ton of time to do it, I tend to get paralyzed by indecision and not sew at all, so hopefully my Me-Made-May challenge will help with that!
