Today marks the start of Me Made May, an annual personalized wardrobe challenge. I think of it as spring cleaning for my wardrobe as I put away the winter wardrobe and start bringing out the spring / summer selection. This month long challenge is meant to promote a relationship with our handmade wardrobe and to challenge us to observe what works in real life. As well as observing what doesn't work and why that might be.
I have, in some form or another, been following and participating in MMM challenges over the years. I have come to realize that I prefer natural fibre over man-made fabrics. They last longer, keep me warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer months and that is important. I live in an area that has four seasons and extremes in temperatures. I also find that my natural fibre fabric makes wear better and last longer than many man-made fabrics that have pilled beyond saving.
So, I'm not going to write a personalized challenge, I'm just going continue wearing and observing and see where this journey takes me throughout the month. I'll do some weekly check-ins along the way.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
