Hello friends!<\/p>\n

If you want to elicit groans and grumbles at our house just mention that the month of May starts on Sunday (as in, two days from now).<\/p>\n

Why, you ask? Well, because of Me Made May, of course! S knows that I’ll be asking her to take photos of my outfits every day–since she’s good at it and it’s a lot easier than taking them myself.<\/p>\n

Are you participating? I’m going to, despite the protests at home. I’ll find a way…. I think it’s #mmm22 this year.<\/p>\n

Here’s my outfit today, featuring our City Stroll Wrap Skirt<\/a>. Today was the day to break this piece out because the weather has changed and we’re having a much-needed break from two months of rain.<\/p>\n

Will you be participating? I hope you’ll join me and everyone else who does it. It’s fun, great inspiration for wearing all the sewing you’ve been doing, and I recommend it even if your family doesn’t enjoy it!<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two terrific details: the twill tape linked pockets to hold them in place and the blue accents on this unbleached linen shirt.<\/p>\n

It’s almost ice cream weather! (Well, in my world it’s always ice cream weather, but that’s another story.) Last winter I tasted an amazing ice cream based on Spain’s famous traditional Violetas candies<\/a>, and I’m still dreaming about it. We may need to try to recreate it with S’s ice cream machine.<\/p>\n

Two items on my To Sew list: a new ironing board cover (I really don’t have time for a patchwork version like this but I love it so much!) and Montauk Trousers<\/a> in a subtle abstract print. I’m having trouble finding a printed fabric I like well enough for these. Any sources you’d like to share?<\/p>\n

Color inspiration. I love the warm and cool combination of rich orange with icy blue. But hot pink and orange are really great together for summer, too!<\/p>\n
