Week two of #MeMadeMay2025 done and dusted! Stars on the pieces I've made myself * Here’s what I’ve learned so far: 🧵 I don't really like taking my photo every day hahaha 🧵 It's getting easier to use my own creations every day 🧵 I wear a lot of shirts and tops and not many T-shirts 🧵 Normally at this time of year I’d just opt for jeans, but I’ve been forced to look at different options — especially using skirts and dresses and still staying warm #slowfashionstyle #memadewardrobe #handmadewa...

Two lovely sisters visited me at the Mt Eden Village craft market last weekend and each went home wrapped in a cosy jacket made from rescued bed quilts. These jackets have a new story to tell now — and the best part? They can swap them whenever they feel like a change! #slowfashionnz #rescuedtextiles #sisterstyle

Week 1 of Me Made May – done! Here’s a little collage of the first 7 days, with stars marking the garments I’ve made myself.

Loving this mindful, creative process so far. Bring on Week ...

My first time joining in with #MeMadeMay2025 and I’m looking forward to seeing what I learn along the way! I won’t be posting outfits every day, but I’m planning to share a weekly collage. Making your own clothes is such a rewarding skill—one I truly believe anyone can learn. But it does take dedication, patience, and a whole lot of practice. It took me years before I felt confident enough to wear my MeMade pieces out in the world! Excited to be part of this amazing creative community. #Sl...

It’s slow fashion you can live in — made from rescued textiles that might’ve otherwise ended up in landfill, but instead are being treasured again.
