Me Made May Contest!
Can you believe it's time for another Me Made May? This challenge was created by Zoe Edwards, aka @sozoblog. In her words:
What IS Me-Made-May?
- MMM is a personal challenge to wear your handmade items more often, or in different ways, to help you improve your relationship with your handmade wardrobe.
- It is entirely personal: you can set the specifications of your challenge as you wish so that it will help YOU. Think about what you would like to improve and/or learn about what you wear.
- You do your challenge for the duration of May.
- It's entirely up to you whether you wish to keep your challenge entirely to yourself, or share some or all of it with others. If you wish to share the odd (or daily!) photo or comment on social media, please use the hashtag #memademay2021 so other participants can find you and cheer you along.
- which of your current handmade items make you feel the happiest (and therefore perhaps how best to spend your garment-making time in the future)
- which of them need to be repaired, altered, upcycled or passed on
- the colours that suit you and the ones that don't
- new combinations that may help you get more use from the items you've made
- which silhouettes and garment styles best suit your day-to-day life, as well as your body and personal taste
- new garment styles, patterns, fabrics, yarns or colours worn by others that you are excited to try for yourself
- how others wear and style the same patterns you own differently
- what different fabrics or yarns others have tried when making patterns you own
- some new online friends
- some new makers' accounts to follow that inspire you
You can find all the deets for this year's challenge and take the pledge on her blog!
