Me Made May 2024

Alright, it's MeMadeMay, let's do this. I pledgeth thusly;

"I, chebe, pledge to* wear items I have made, modified, or repaired, each day throughout May 2024.
* to try to, not perfectionisting this."

I did this in 2021 and 2023 as well, and always feel a benefit from it. This is another year, and another frankly quite different set of life circumstances. Having become redundant office wear fell right down and off the bottom of my priority list. And being an EMF camp year a whole lot of outer wear pushed right to the top. I also discovered that the natural fibres I'd been favouring are the worst choices for camping in damp climates, so have had to return to polyester for some garments.

Reflections? Weather this time of year is increasingly unpredictable. What I need, for a more fully Me-Made wardrobe, is; shorts, shirts, more t-shirts, and a small number of nice occasion wear. The jumpers are a welcome addition, and the boucle Chip in particular was incredibly warm (I wore it every night in the sleeping bag to stay toasty). I should also make some of my own pjs, then it'd be hard to miss a day!
