I think I hate myself. I keep complaining about the stress of an impending me made june and of me not having enough clothes and all, and here I am about to talk about another challenge.
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was going to sunny Marjoca this summer. August to be exact, and that I was thinking of making my own wardrobe for that. So here I am today, declaring that
I, Dibs, of Dibs and the Machine, pledge to sew a holiday wardrobe for my 2 week vacation to Marjoca. For the duration of my holidays, I shall only wear clothes/accesories made by me!!
"Everything" excludes shoes and bras, and sunshades.
So there, I've gone and done this time haven't I.
I seem to relish the stress ( i know that sounds strange), but sewing for Me Made June has made me realise that with sewing, like many other aspects of my life, I thrive on deadlines. Knowing that deadlines are around the corner , makes me work harder. So, I think setting myself the challenge of sewing my holiday wardrobe, and declaring it publicly, will actually push me to sew.
Is there anyone going on holiday and resolving to sew their own holiday wardrobe?
Yes! I am going on a trip to Italy and Greece, and I'm trying to sewing many (not all) of the items I'll take with me. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow Dibs, this is a bit crazy but also hugely inspiring! I'm going away for a week in the middle of June and I was thinking of making a couple things...but not my entire 'going away wardrobe'! I'll have to build up to that I guess ;o)
ReplyDeleteAre you going somewhere hot and if so, are you making your own swimsuit/bikini?
It's crazy right?lol...I'm going to Spain. And yes, I plan on making a bikini as well. So if u see me without one, know that I was unsuccessful...
ReplyDeleteGoodluck Trisha, will be keeping an eye out to see what you make.
Wow, I take my hat off to you! Looking forward to seeing the finished outfits!
ReplyDeleteI *just* read an entry on someone who sewed their holiday outfits: http://goo.gl/e87CO
ReplyDeleteI don't think you hate yourself. You're a woman who enjoys a good challenge. You can totally rock out those challenges.
Oooh now this is a good idea! I really want to make a few pieces for my summer holiday, but would never attempt a bikini, that is insane!!! Good luck with this challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenges! I'm hopefully taking part in MMJ and Ali's Summer essentials again, even though we are not having much summer at the moment. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous (if challenging) idea to sew your entire holiday wardrobe! I admire you and am eager to see all the lovely things you make.
ReplyDeleteI think you can do it!!! Like you I thrive on deadlines too.
ReplyDeleteWaoh!
