You Were Made For Me

Sorry, been away a while.  Just a very quick post to say I've signed up for Me-Made-May '13.
Last night,  I was searching the web to find info on fabric shops in Walthamstow, and happened upon Zoe's blog HERE and read about a challenge she is organising, whereby you pledge to wear handmade garments/accessories every day for the whole of May.
Now,  I have been dressmaking/knitting/refashioning for about a hundred years, or at least since I was 11 - but for some reason the things I make largely seem to hang in my wardrobe, unworn.  Even my Mum says "I never see you wear the things you make".  So, this morning I made a decision to sign up and actually wear them.
  
'I, Gill of Vintagerockchick, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '13. I endeavour to wear at least one handmade item each day for the duration of May 2013'

Hopefully, whilst I doubt I will post daily, I do intend to at least partly document the results of this challenge by taking some not-too-hideous photos and posting them on here. 

More later about what I've been making, and doing since we last chatted.
