The is only another week of Me Made May outfits coming up. What I have learned is that I have too much clothes! I had some repeat garments but no repeat outfits. This is obscene! i feel bad that I have so much clothes that I don't have to repeat an outfit for an entire month! And yet I am continuing to add to my wardrobe with my monthly creations. I could donate some clothes but I just have a really hard time parting with items that I had made and enjoyed wearing. It would be great to give some of this clothing to someone I know but unfortunately no one I know has my odd measurements. What should one do?
Hi Love Nicky - those temperature swings are hard to deal with, I agree. When I live in Alice Springs we had those swings, but in the middle of winter, not late spring!! .
ReplyDeleteI love all these garments - I think you should just enjoy them. Sewing is a great hobby, it's constructive and really doesn't cost as much as some other hobbies. Eventually things will wear out and then you won't have so much trouble parting with them. And, like with recent shorts, sometimes you will have a need.
Thanks Sarah Liz! I guess since I can't making new garments and accessories, I have to live with that bit of guilt of hoarding too much stuff! ;-)
