Greetings from the swamp! If you need me between now and October, you can find me in a heap of perspiration in any dark corner of my house. (Just kidding. Kind of).
The temps the last week have been ridiculous after a fairly pleasant week last week. We had a weekend of gross upper 90s/high humidity, which was followed by a week of being able to leave the windows open all day, followed by another gross weekend that has morphed into a gross week. It's the kind of humidity and heat where you start sweating the instant you step outside. My favorite!
I've been sewing like mad, since a lot of my summer clothes from last year don't fit well, so there's not been time to post. I've got a backlog of projects to show, but I figured I should at least wrap up Me Made May before it gets ridiculous.
May 29-31~

If you can't tell from the photos, I think my uniform this summer is going to be a linen or cotton voile tshirt and linen or voile Free Range skirt hack. It feels good, looks decent, and doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out with heat. (Always a bonus). I'm going to remake the Hinterland into something that doesn't make me feel like 1995 is calling and wants its dress back. Still, it was a worthwhile experiment. I'll blog the individual new makes later this month, hopefully.
You've coordinated your ensembles so well. I'd been eyeing the Hinterland dress but had some reservations about the style, which you seem to share. Can't wait to read your review.
