Long time readers will be familiar with Me-Made-May, a brilliant idea from Zoe who blogs over at So…Zo. Here’s a run down on what Me-Made-May is all about, from Zoe herself:
Me-Made-May’15 (#mmmay15 for social media interaction) is a challenge designed to encourage people who sew/knit/crochet/refashion/upcycle garments for themselves to actually wear and love them. The me-made and self-stitched challenges have been taking place for five years now and they work on both a personal and community level. The participants decide the specifics of their own challenge pledge, so that the month is appropriate and challenging for them. For example, a very common pledge is for a participant to aim to wear one self-stitched or refashioned garment each day for the duration of May 2015. The participants can also choose to document their challenge with daily photos (though this is in no way compulsory for taking part) and share them with other participants.
‘I, Sarah of AskSarah.com.au, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’15. I endeavour to wear/use two me made or refashioned items (garments,accessories,totes etc) each day for the duration of May 2015′
Me-Made-May always gives me so much to think about. Such as, why don’t I wear that? Why does nothing go with this? I totally need to make one of those. Why didn’t I think of this combo before? It’s such a good way to get a sense of your style and your wardrobe. I’m so looking forward to seeing what I find to wear this time. I’m not sure how I share it this year but I’m thinking daily FB posts and weekly blog post. Let me know what you think. If knit, sew or craft, there’s still time to sign up!
