I very much like the idea of Me-Made-May, but haven’t joined in before as I tend to give most of what I knit away. Also since it’s May I’m (hopefully) not going to be wearing hats, gloves, or thick sweaters. However this year I had a good hard think, since Me-Made-May is about addressing our relationship with our wardrobe and the clothes we make, and I think that’s a jolly good idea.
So I’ve joined with a easy wearing pledge, but I promise a lot of hard thinking will go on. Here’s my pledge:
‘I, Bekki Hill (Blogging at http://www.dartmooryarns.com @dartmooryarns on Instagram, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May ’16. I endeavour to wear at least one item of me made clothing that I rarely or never wear each week for the duration of May 2016. As I wear it, I will reflect on my relationship with each garment and why I don’t wear it (more often).
If you want join Me-Made-May ’16, here’s the link
That’s a good reason for joining in and an achievable pledge.
I commend you for your optimism about the British weather 😉

It’s certainly optimism on today’s showing of 2 degrees and sleet!

Good idea! I’m doing something along the same lines, but I’ll be getting rid of anything that no longer serves its purpose. I’m going to force myself to be brave on this… Good luck!

Well done you!
I joined last week, thanks to Thimberlina, it is a great idea, I like that they emphasise that it is supposed to be fun. I will have to make a couple of things as most of my stuff I have given away!

Good for you. I think a lot of us give what we make away, but may be me made will help us reflect on that aspect too.
