Many of you will have seen my facebook & flickr posts of what I’ve been wearing during Me-Made-May ’13 (or MMM13) but if you haven’t please check out my post on MMM13. At the beginning of May I had no idea how my pledge would change my relationship with what I wear but it really has. I could write the longest post on this but I’m going to use a few quotes to try and keep it simple.
My wardrobe was stuffed with all sorts of things I knew I wouldn’t wear, so I chucked a whole 2/3 of my clothes! Don’t worry, they were handed on to family who could make use of them. I feel so much better, now that everything in my wardrobe fits and gets worn. I found this super useful but also amusing flow chart to help you have a clear out if you’d like too.
Documenting each days outfit and looking at what others were wearing gave me such a clear view of my own style. It also saw how sewing had really given me creative control over what I wear. I found the gaps in my wardrobe, so now I can sew or source what I am lacking.
Being involved in a project like this, I feel like I am part of the online sewing community for the first time. So, I have huge Thank You going out to Zo for organizing this, please drop by her blog and have a look. I also have a huge Thank You for my fellow sewers and of course to all of you Lovelies who have been with me every step of the way.
All of this brings me to the exciting part, the GIVEAWAY!!!!!! If you saw the Inside Out, Round & Round skirt tutorial this week, imagine if you could have one of your very own? Well, you can! Probably not in this fabric, Gran Ask has dibs! These skirts take some time to sew, the very reasonable going rate for a handmade, reversible circle wrap skirt is $145. I can make these skirts from a size 6 up to the biggest plus size, for reals! I will make you one, to your own measurements, in your choice of available fabrics for FREE!! But you need to do something for me first….write something about your relationship with what you wear.
