It’s Me Made May! For those who don’t know Me Made May is where sewers from around the world are encouraged to wear their own made clothes every day for the month of May and document it in some way. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the community, identify gaps in your wardrobe and generally show off your handmade wardrobe.
This year mine is going to be boring as I have such a limited wardrobe after the fire. So I’ve set myself the additional challenge of taking better photos. I’ve been experimenting with the timer on my iPhone and using my back pack as a tripod.
It’s not a brilliant solution (sometimes I have no head or not so flattering angle). But it’s making it a whole lot more fun to take photos something which I normally hate with a vengeance.
I’ve been busy scouring the city for beautiful art walls to use and while I’ve taken some photos already to take advantage of being in front of some beautiful art, I’ll still be seeking out more throughout the month.
I know some people frown upon pre taking some of the photos but when you’ve only got a handful of dresses to work with bathroom selfies of the same things over and over would be boring for everyone and right now I need some fun in my life so fun photos it is!
