Oh yeah…yet another stab at blogging. 🙂 My last blog post…MMMay15. Sigh. But here goes again: I, Michee Rose (@elfieodette on Twitter & Instagram, micheerose.com), sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’16. I endeavor wear at least one me-made
Me-Made-May ’15
Wow, it’s been a year since I’ve posted. So many changes, so much sewing. I’m going to try posting a bit more (and other exciting changes). But I think I’ll start small and post this year’s MMM pledge. I, Michee Rose,

Sweatshop Sewing
Rest assured, I have not given up sewing after a packed month of Me-Made-May. No, not nearly. I have, however, been doing relatively uninteresting sewing. I’ve been sweatshop ping armbands for our studio swap meet and boutique, the swap being
MMM week four and wrap-up
So here it is, halfway through the first week in June, and I’m finally writing my Me-Made-May wrap-up post. Overall, it was a success. I did wear me-made items every day and photograph it every day. It was an interesting
