Me-Made-May '17: Sign-Up Here!




Welcome to the sign-up for Me-Made-May'17! Can you believe that Me-Made-May is in its EIGHTH YEAR?! This challenge is all about improving your relationship with your handmade wardrobe, and perhaps also learning about yourself and your creativity.


What is Me-Made-May'17 and how it works...

Me-Made-May'17 (#MMMay17 for social media interaction) is a challenge designed to encourage people who sew/knit/crochet/refashion/upcycle garments for themselves to wear and love them more. The me-made and self-stitched challenges have been taking place for eight years now and they work on both a personal and community level. The participants decide the specifics of their own challenge, so that the month is appropriate and challenging for them (more on this below). 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 2017. Some participants choose to document their challenge photographically (though this is in no way compulsory for taking part) and share them with other participants.

Taking part can...
  • To start integrating your self-made items into your regular wardrobe rotation.
  • Help you get out of a wardrobe rut by focusing on your lesser-worn items and creating new outfits that include those.  
  • Find out what the 'holes' in your wardrobe are so that you are able to use your garment-creating time more usefully in the future. 
  • Begin wearing the clothes that you really want to be seen in, rather than the same old things you usually reach for most mornings.  
  • Enjoy the excuse to finish off any lingering UFOs (unfinished objects), or to finally start a project that has been on your mind for ages. 
  • Discover what the rest of this large community of makers has created and is wearing in their day-to-day lives, and enjoy the support, advice and inspiration that they will provide. 


What isn't Me-Made-May'17? 
  • A photo challenge. You might have seen heaps of Me-Made-May related pictures posted on blogs, Instagram etc. during previous challenges showing participants in their awesome handmade creations. Many like to document and share their challenges in this way, which is obviously amazing, but COMPLETING YOUR PLEDGE is the actual challenge; taking and sharing photos of what you wear during it is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL. I cannot emphasise this enough: you do not need to take any photos. At all. But please do if you want to. 
  • A reason to make lots of new clothes (unless you want to). This challenge is about wearing the items that you have already created more often, not about stock-piling more makes. However, if you want to use taking part in the challenge as the kick in the butt you need to finally hem that half-finished skirt, or rework an ill-fitting garment, then great. Remember, this challenge is meant to be fun, and panic-making isn't fun! 
  • A competition. It doesn't matter how many self-stitched items you already have or haven't. You can take part even if you just have one solitary self-made item! You just need to set your pledge to make it challenging for YOU, no matter what criteria other participants have set themselves. 

How do I sign up?

All you have to do is copy the pledge below and paste it into the comments section of this post adapted to include your details and the personal specification of your challenge before 1st May:

 'I, (insert name here and blog address/instagram handle if you have one), sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavour to wear......................................................... each day for the duration of May 2017'


Ideas for your pledge...

Remember, this is meant to be challenging (i.e. not what you usually do), so take some time to think about how to get the most from the challenge before writing your pledge. 

If the standard 'wear one self-stitched garment per day' pledge won't help or stretch you, for example, if you have to wear a uniform during the week or you already wear quite a lot of me-mades, then come up with something else. How about pledging to wear two or more self-made garments each day? Or pledge to try making a new type of garment by the end of the month to wear on the final day? Or pledge to finish all your UFO's by 31st May? Pledge to focus on wearing your 'meh' garments to see if you can fall back in love with some of them? Pledge to only wear separates to force yourself to get creative with your mix-and-matching? Pledge to only wear each garment or garment-combo once? Pledge to wear an outfit including one sewn or knitted garment AND one refashion each day? There are near-infinite ways to tailor the pledge to your own requirements. 


If you have a blog or social media accounts, why not re-post your pledge there so your readers and followers can see what you are up to and be inspired by your endeavour? If possible, please include a link to this post so others can also sign-up if they are interested. If there's one thing I've learnt from these challenges, the more people involved, the better the party!

If you would like to advertise your participation on your blog if you have one, why not treat yourself to the addition of the #MMMay17 widget/gadget/button? The code can be found at the top of the right hand column of this blog. The widget/gadget/button not only looks cute, but it shows other participants/potential-participants at a glance that you are taking part this year. Plus when clicked on, it will ping you to this sign-up post so others can read what this whole damn thing is about without you needing to go into too much of an explanation yourself. If you aren't sure how to apply/insert a widget/gadget/button code, check this post for explanations for Blogspot/Blogger and Wordpress blogs.


What's different about this year's challenge? 

Participants of previous years' challenges may notice a couple of minor differences this year. Mainly, that there's no official Me-Made-May'17 Flickr group or Pinterest board. Whilst Instagram activity has rocketed, these other platforms have seen less action over the last couple of years, so seeing as I'm pretty time-poor these days I've decided to do away with those this year. Also, for the same reason, I'm going to host one larger celebration giveaway for participants towards the end of the month, rather than smaller weekly ones.


I've signed up, what do I do now then?

Nothing in particular until 1st May 2017, except let an underlying sense of excitement brew! You may decide to finish up that UFO, but please people, NO PANIC-SEWING/MAKING NECESSARY OR CONDONED!!


If you are concerned or confused about any aspect of this challenge, please email me at sozoblog (at) g mail (dot) com.

Let the signing up commence!!!!!

So excited for another round of Me-Made-May! Can't believe it's already in its 8th year. Thank you for hosting it again Zoe!

'I, Julia of Sewionista
, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavour to wear 1 me-made garment each day for the duration of May 2017'

I really enjoyed participating during the last years. In the past, I have left off weekends but this year I will include them, which will force me to finally make some casual me-mades for lounging around the house. In addition, I will endeveaur to add 1 second hand piece to my outfit, which could be a garment, accessory or shoes.

This will be my first ever MMM, as I never felt I had enough memades for it to be worth while. I've probably still not made enough yet but I've probably got enough to wear something different, each day, for the first half of the month and can always wash and repeat 😉

That's my formal pledge. It's pretty much the same as for the last two years, the informal challenges to myself are, firstly, to dress with a bit more thoughtfulness, and secondly, to make sure that I photograph my outfit and post it on Instagram each day.

And I know that MMM is not about panic-sewing, but for me it works as a really helpful catalyst for completing WIPs, getting on with planned new makes and refashions, and finally getting around to fixing and mending those me-made garments that need it, in preparation and in May itself. So I'm hoping that by the end of May I will have made some older clothes more readily wearable, and made some brand new clothes - that are also wearable- :-D

I'm really looking forward to taking part again this year!

My first time joining in and hoping it will focus me on what I wear the most, what I need in my wardrobe and maybe even make some kind of plan.
P.s it would really help if it's warm weather as I've not tackled trousers or jeans yet.

I have misplaced my sewing mojo (or sewjo) and I am really hoping that MMMay17 will help me recapture it! I wrote a blog post about my pledge (and sewjo) if you are curious http://wp.me/p3dXY3-2ft

I can't wait to see what everyone has been making and to celebrate our maker spirits together!

Paula said...

I, Paula (trespompones.com, @trespompones), sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavour to wear at least two handmade garments or accessories each day for the duration of May 2017.

I will concentrate on sewing some trousers, skirts and dresses, as I have jumpers, T-shirts and cardigans, but I'm missing some bottoms to combine.

I am really, really excited. Last year it was great and it was easy for me to wear a handmade garment a day, so I'm making it a lot more challenging this year, and I'm a bit nervous.

Can't wait to see all the challenges and all the beautiful ideas out there.

Thanks a lot!

I'm so going to give this a try for the first time this year. Might be a challenge for me because I've lost a lot of weight and most of my me-mades don't fit anymore. So I'm going to tweak this challenge as me-made OR me-mended. :) And I'm not comfy posting my pics online, So no pics from me.

darling said...

I've lost a significant amount of weight since last MMM and a lot of my me-made clothes don't fit. I moved in January and have been spending a lot of my free time doing work on my old house and doing things to get my current house setup, so I haven't been sewing nearly enough to be able to wear me-made clothes every day right now. So, that being said, I'm severely reducing the scope of my pledge this year.

Barbara said...

I already saw this last year, but could not really participate. This year I want to give it a try, and I really look forward to it. I find it hard to estimate how challenging it would be. I really lack good basics, like tops or shorts or pants, so I don't know how possible it would be to wear something me-made everyday... So I will count my kids in as well, hope that is fine as well...

So here I go ;-)

I, Barbara from http://lilliepawillie.wordpress.com, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavor to wear 1 me-made item a day, preferably myself but if really not possible, have one or both my daughters do so, each day for the duration of May 2017. I also endeavor to finish at least one item that I started long ago and didn't finish, to make one pair of trousers and/or shorts (preferably both), and to only make clothes we need or miss in our wardrobe, like good, wearable, nice basics for myself, or summerwear for myself and/or the kids or husband.


Friederike said...

Yay, it's time again. :) To challenge myself I have a very specific pledge this year. Here we go:


I, Friederike from naehenisttherapie.wordpress.com and sewingistherapy in IG, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavour to wear at least one me made garment each day from Monday to Friday for the duration of May 2017.
I also endeavour to not wear the same outfit / combination twice and to make better pictures with a real camera - no crappy mirror selfies this year!


There will be weekly picture summaries on IG and probably one post with all of them on the blog at the end of the month (of mid June, let's be honest).

I excluded the weekends for several reasons. First of all is that I mostly wear my Hudson pants anyway from morning to evening and you don't need to see 8 pictures of that. Secondly: there really don't need to be more bed head pictures from me in the world wide web...

Lorna said...

'I, LornaU, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavor to wear one me-made garment each day for the duration of May 2017'

This is my first attempt at making this commitment. I hope it will provide an incentive to use some of the patterns, fabrics and ideas that I have collected.

Neha said...


I don't have much sewing experience or enough me made items in my wardrobe so I'm thinking that I will use this challenge to accomplish learning new sewing skills, getting better at the ones I know, and keep to using up the fabric in stash and clothes I have earmarked to up cycle.
'I, Neha @floating_light (instagram), sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '17. I endeavour to use this challenge as a skill building exercise while using resources at hand, and will set aside one hour to sew five times a week for the duration of May 2017'

Fiona said...

I, Fiona, of https://thesedaysarefew.wordpress.com/ will try to wear during the month of May:
*At least one memade item each weekday
*At least one entirely memade outfit each week (underwear and footwear not included!)
*If I'm not wearing memade next best choice will be thrifted or ethically made

*I will also aim to either finish or ditch some of the half-a-dozen ufos in my sewing room, rather than starting new sewing
*Plus aim to finish the cardigan I started knitting a year ago which I shamefully abandoned just a sleeve and a rib band short of fishing; and wear it before the end of May.

I would have pledged to do more full memade days if it were Summer in May, and I could just wear dresses or skirts and tops. But my cold weather work wear means jackets and cardigans, which are about 70% thrifted or store bought.

I unofficially/experimentally participated in Me Made May last year. I wasn't sure whether I had the me made wardrobe to make it through a whole month, and I didn't document any of it, despite ravenously following others' MMM adventures on IG for the previous two years. It turns out that I made it through all of the week days and only struggled on weekends. I've since filled in some wardrobe holes and feel up to the challenge, with the additional personal challenge of documenting my makes each day on IG as once I've made something and documented it, it almost never reappears "in the wild" on IG.
