Hello everyone! I just saw someone post something called Me Made May, which an entire month devoted to wearing things that you’ve made, whether they are sewn, knitted, crocheted, etc. It got me thinking about how I should be wearing more of the things I’ve made. I wear quite a few, but I would love to get to the point where I am wearing more garments that I’ve made than bought! I guess this should be a new goal!
Anyways, I hope everyone has been doing some sewing and having fun while doing it! I'm doing something new and that is making some costumes for the play at the Elementary school my kids attend. I'm also teaching some students to sew and they are making some of the costumes as well! I'm glad that I am able to volunteer my time and talents for a good cause and I'm so glad that I am passing on some skills to students who want to learn.
One of the things that I have tried to do throughout my life is learn. I’m always trying to take in new information and trying new things. Even though I have been sewing for a long time, I still try to learn new ways of doing things. I challenge you to try this over the next couple months. Whether it is making something new or trying a new way of doing something, hopefully you will come away feeling like you learned something new.
Happy Sewing,
Nicole Browne
