Me Made May is one of my favourite months of the year. Since I first took part ten years ago, my target has grown from wearing one me made item per week to wearing something I made every day with at least one full me made outfit per week.
However, I am approaching Me Made May 2024 differently.
Since losing my hair during chemo, I have not felt like me. I look in the mirror and don’t recognise the person looking back. Although my hair is now starting to grow back, I am going to look this way for a while, so it is something I need to get used to.
This year I want to use Me Made May to reassess my whole wardrobe. I want to use it to rekindle my love of my me made clothes, find new combinations that fit the new me, and generally help me feel like me again. And if it motivates me to sew some new clothes then even better.
I may or may not have already ordered some fabric…
