We are now about halfway through Me-Made-May and I’m feeling more relaxed about it than last year (the first time I did it). I’ve given an airing to some little-worn garments and put together some new outfits. Weather-wise, the season finally broke at the beginning of May, bringing an opportunity to get out the warm…
