Zoe, the hostess of and genius behind, \u00a0Me Made May<\/a>, says, “Me\u00a0Made May\u00a0’17 is a challenge designed to\u00a0encourage people\u00a0<\/b>who sew\/knit\/crochet\/refashion\/upcycle garments for themselves to\u00a0wear and love them more<\/b>.”<\/p>\n If only all my Me-Mades\u00a0were created equal I would wear them more and love them more but, let’s face it, not every project turns out how we wanted it to turn out.<\/p>\n So this year, not only will I wear my success but I have pledged to, in the month of May,\u00a0fix \/ alter \/ tailor my failures so that they can be worn. And they’re not just sewing failures but purchasing failures too. Oh yes, I have a few.<\/p>\n You’re encouraged to alter the pledge in a way that is appropriate and challenging for you. I know I can wear one Me-Made every day with very little inconvenience (just have to stay on top of the laundry). I also know I could not wear two Me-Mades every day and leave the house. But I could, and I really should tackle that pile in the sewing room corner that’s been there for half a year and then I would have a lot more to wear.<\/p>\n My Me Made challenge pledge follows.<\/p>\n I hope you join the party. Simply go to Zoe’s blog and sign up. Then, on the morning of May 1st, fling open your closet doors and put on your favorite hand stitched, with love and perfection, garment. You look fabulous!<\/p>\n I did it. I signed up for this year’s Me Made May. It’s my second time now and I’m uppin’ the ante.
