Ep. 38 is the third and final episode in the mini-series all about the Me-Made-May wardrobe challenge. Expanding on last week's episode about setting your own unique pledge, today we'll flip it and discuss super-simple, basic pledges that still offer heaps of learning potential. If you're just not sure what your wardrobe goals are, or you don't have the headspace for anything complicated right now, this episode provides the solution. We also hear from previous podcast guests, Amy Dyce and Judith Staley, who also chose simple pledges for their challenges. They talk about the wealth of takeaways they accrued from this approach, and give us some thought-provoking insights about applying the lessons learnt. Support the podcast over on Patreon! You can still learn A TON about your wardrobe, and make great strides in getting closer to the wardrobe you dream of by setting yourself a very simple, standard pledge. Picking an uncomplicated formula, as long as it is challenging but do-able for you, will still give you a chance to learn and play about throughout the month. A great way to start is by finding out exactly what you have. Try to find a chunk of time to get all your handmade items out in one place. Then cast your mind back a week or so, or pay attention to what you're wearing for a few days. How many handmade items do you wear on average already? Then set your simple pledge by choosing to up the frequency slightly, or by altering how you wear them. For example, if you usually wear a handmade item twice a week, pledge to wear a handmade item three or four times a week. Or if you usually wear two handmade items each day, make it three! OR keep wearing two handmade items each day, but make sure you wear a different outfit combination each day. Find Amy Dyce on Instagram @craftandthrift HERE and find the website HERE.

This is the second episode in the mini-series all about the Me-Made-May wardrobe challenge. If you're not sure how to get the most from taking part in MMM, this episode offers a guide to crafting your own, tailor-made pledge. Included are examples of a variety of unique pledges that might click with you, and lead you to heaps of useful lessons and insights about yourself and your wardrobe needs. We also get to hear from two previous podcast guests and repeat MMM participants, Rebecca Evans-Merritt and Meg Grandstaff. Both offer their own fascinating perspectives, experiences and takeaways from their own challenges, and offer advice for new participants. Support the podcast over on Patreon! To pick a useful challenge for you, the first step is to get a handle on how your relationship with wardrobe currently stands. If you can find the time, get all your self-made items out and have a look at what you've got. Also have a think about how often you tend to wear handmade items already, and which ones see the most action. Think back to what you wore the past week. How many items were made by yourself? By looking at what you've got AND by thinking about what you usually wear already, you'll get some clues for a suitable pledge. Is there a sticking point that you're already well aware of? For example, you feel happiest in a dress, but rarely wear them. Or you have a whole load of clothes made from vibrant prints, but you're not sure how to incorporate them into an outfit. Remember, the main point of the challenge is to wear your handmade items more and/or in different ways. So with that in mind, hopefully you will start to get some ideas for a pledge that will push yourself slightly out of your comfort zone to allow yourself to learn and grow.

Episode #36 is a deep dive into the challenge that I inadvertently created thirteen years ago.

Support the podcast over on Patreon! What is Me-Made-May? MMM is a wardrobe challenge that helps you improve your relationship with your handmade items. It can also teach you what to make (and not make) in the future! What isn't Me-Made-May? MMM isn't a making challengeMMM isn't a photo challengeMMM isn't a competitionMMM isn't about having heaps of handmade clothes So who is MMM for? The challenge is for anyone with at least one handmade item that wants to make improvements to their wardrobe and how they feel about it. How do I take part? You will need to intentionally wear your handmade items more and/or in different ways throughout May 2022. Have a think about the handmade items you own, how often you already wear them, and perhaps if there are any areas of your relationship with your wardrobe that you already know could use some improvement. Then set your own pledge outlining the specifics of your challenge before 1st May. There's a fun pledge formula that you can use, it goes: “I (insert name or username) pledge to wear (insert specifics of your pledge) for throughout May 2022” You can keep this entirely to yourself, tell friends and family, or share this on social media: whatever you wish.
