Tomorrow starts Me-Made-May ’17. Again an exciting challenge from the sewing community. Zoe, the founder, describes it as follow:
“Me-Made-May’17 (#MMMay17 for social media interaction) is a challenge designed to encourage people who sew/knit/crochet/refashion/upcycle garments for themselves to wear and love them more.”
To sign up you make a pledge that you post in the comment of Zoe’s blog post.
My pledge
I, Wis from www.whatisew.be and @wis_g, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’17. I endeavour to wear at least one me-made garment each day for the duration of May 2017. I will not repeat any garment. More, I will wear at least 10 garments I didn’t wear last May 2016.
Me-Made-May ’16
Last year—mmmay16—I participated for the first time and I enjoyed it tremendously. These were my observations:
1. I was able to wear at least one self-made garment every day.
2. No repeats!
3. Wearing only black clothes in the eighties I am wearing a lot of colour being 55!
4. Taking a picture of yourself every day is quite confronting.
5. My style is very eclectic!
6. There are only 6 self-made tops.
Are you participating?
Great pledge! Looking forward to seeing!!
Thanks, Sarah! I loved your post about mmmay’17 too. xxx
Wis…I liked your post. We have a lot in common…I am 55 too, and used to live in black with the odd bright scarf, but like you I’m wearing a lot of colour these days. I think it took me a long time to learn what suited me! Haha! xx
Thanks for reading Suzy! Who could have thought in the eighties that I would love all these colours now?
