Thank you again for joining with is in this year-long challenge to create fabulous "me-sewn" wardrobes, enhance our sewing skills, and find encouragement along the way. We currently have 37-39 ladies who have taken up the challenge (a few ladies don't have active blogs on the roll). April 15, 2013 will be the last day we accept new participants. Feel free to post this announcement on your own blogs as well as the link to the Welcome & Intro Video.
We're excited you are with us! In the next day or two, we will add the following tabs/pages to the blog:
- Guidelines - this will provide a template for standard posts
- Tips & Tutorials - Lynn's jeans & Faye's tops are great examples of information we will copy & paste to this page and link to the original posts.
- Resources - this area will be for book, dvd, and product reviews you feel would benefit everyone
If there are other pages/tabs you think might add value to our experience, let us know. Happy sewing!
phew I'm glad I found your challenge before the deadline! I have read ElleC's post and I thought that I too could give it a go, so please count me in! I've already been making a lot of my wardrobe myself, but it's nice to have a little challenge. I think it will be a very interesting year, especially since I'm currently 7 months pregnant with my first child! I blog at http://monbouton.fr
ReplyDeleteI'll join. I already don't buy clothing (since 2011), but all I've made for me (so, not counting my handmade rule for holiday gifts) is a shirt, a few pairs of socks, and 3 (Italian Renaissance) dresses. But I'm finally hitting the point where some of the clothes I've had since high school are starting to wear out in ways that can't simply be taken in, darned, etc, so it's time to make a new skirt, some modern-ish dresses, and (if you don't mind knitters) a few shirts from my yarn stash.
ReplyDeleteHi McKenzie! I will need an email in order to invite you to author blog posts. I'm excited you decided to join us!
DeleteI'm still not certain how to sign up for this challenge, but I really want to be in! My blog is currentlydarci.blogspot.com
DeleteI've already significantly reduced the money I spend on clothing (but it may just be going to fabric and notions now!), so I'm looking forward to making this commitment with like minded people!
I would like to join in as well. I stopped buying the majority of my clothes a couple of years ago and find the process of making them enjoyable. My blog is knit-knac.blogspot.com
