I must be out of my mind… I’ve only created four pieces of clothing thus far on my sewing machine, but I am taking on this crazy challenge.
This fabulous graphic was created by Gillian at Crafting a Rainbow. (http://crafting-a-rainbow.tumblr.com/)
I first read about the pledge on Sew Exhausted‘s blog the other day and I love the idea. The pledge originated with Elena at Seamless and really seems to be catching on. The pledgee (is that a word?) promises not to buy any new clothing for the duration of their pledge. Instead, they make or buy thrifted items. I am not a big fan of thrift stores- wearing a stranger’s clothing weirds me out- but I am all for making my own clothing. Since I have enough hanging in my closet to keep me clothed and stylish for several months, I am going to woman-up and take this on. Plus, this is a great excuse to play around on my sewing machine and get good at making my own clothing.
Here goes…
Awesome! Glad you are joining us Bridget!
