SSS days 9, 10 and 11

My day 9 outfit:
skirt: self-stitched
shirt and cord-blazer: H&M
tights: hand me down

This skirt I made some month ago from my own pattern, unfortunately the hemline became somehow uneven, but with a bit creative wearing of the waistband (so as uneven) I am able to cover this issue.

For my day 10 this was my outfit:
dress: self-stitched

It was super hot and humid that day, maybe the last summery day we might get around here! So the outfit of my choice was this little flowy summer dress! perfect for the temperatures!

And my sunday outfit:
blouse: self-stitched sorbetto
Jeans: H&M
scarf: TCM

Today it was really rainy, but at least I got some work for my law class done. After that I did bake a cake and drafted the pattern for the circle skirt sew along! So I had a productive day!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! Tschüss

SSS Days 5,6,7 & 8

Oookay, here is what I wore on my fifth day of SSS
Jeans: altered by me
shirt: self-stitched
Cardigan: self-stitched

This pants had been an old pair I never wore. So I skinnied them up so now they are kind of straight leg, what I really like. And I lenghtened them like you can see here
The day was very busy had much to work for my law school, so just a busy day!

My day 6 for you
Dress: self stitched
Shirt: H&M

This dress I stitched up last month while my holidays. It is really comfy and paired with a shirt it is also autumn apropriate!

My day 7 outfit:
dress: self-stitched
cardigan: H&M

This is a dress I made from some old men T-Shirts. It is soooo comfy! I love it!
Did nothing special that day, just some sports and spend some time at university in the afternoon.

And now my day 8 outfit:
dress: self-stitched (same as the day before)
scarf: self-stitched
leather jacket: thrifted at ebay

The same dress again :) but this day with a selfmade scarf. It used to be a skirt I had in my stash. I did not really liked the shape anymore, so I refashioned it into a scarf. Because the skirt was kind of A-line the scarf has a somehow weired form, but it has really nice colours!

Hope you had some good days!
Tschüss!

SSS Days 3 and 4

Unfortunately as the title hints I do not have a pic of my day2 outfit, but I hope to show it to you some time later! I promise!
But for now: On my third day of SSS I wore this ensemble

dress: handmade
shoes: ecco

Wore this dress to my grandpas birthday. It is dreamingly comfortable knit stuff, but it also has a very wide neckline and I was very aware of this the whole evening... But nonetheless I really like it! It was so hot on the saturday here, so no tights and no cardi was needed!

Day 4 of SSS was sunday, so just a comfy outfit 

shirt: refashioned

We did some barbecue for lunch at my family`s place and then drove home and did some study, so not really spectacular. But for this the outfit was really good, nice and comfy! 

Hope you also had a nice weekend!

Self-Stitched-September: Take off!

So finally September has started! And with this my great SSS challenge!
To begin with this:

'I, Melanie of ‘mellie sews' blog sign up as a participant of Self-Stitched-Sept '11. I endeavour to wear at least one self stitched garment each day for the duration of September 2011' 


Further  I will not buy myself any clothes the whole month. This is because on one hand I want to discover what I really need and get aware of what I already have in my stuffed closed and on the other hand I want to save some money for a serger. So I hope to come near this goal by the end of the month!

But now for clothes and self-stitched fashion:
For my first day of Self-Stitched-September I wore this
Dress: Self-Stitched by me
Cardigan: Peek & Cloppenburg bought on sale
Scarf: thrifted
Handbag: thrifted

I went to University today, did some study at home and in the evening my boyfriend and I went to some friends for some Pilaw - Yummy!
Have a nice day and stay tuned for some more outfits of Self-Stitched-September!
Tschüss!
