We are one week away from the start of Self Stitched September. You can read more about it at http://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com/2010/05/join-me-self-stitched-september.html and there is now a Flickr group, http://www.flickr.com/groups/1473445@N22/. I’m really looking forward to it. My me-made wardrobe has expanded greatly over the summer and I’ve been brutal about weeding out my store-bought garments that I no longer wear. I have no bought a single item of store-bought clothing, other than socks and under garments, since I began the Me-Made-May challenge. I think I will be buying a few more cardigans, because I got rid of some worn-out ones and my knitting is too slow to keep pace with my need. I will be out of town for several days during the first week of September, but I will try to take pictures every day. Please let me know if you will be participating in SSS!

I was browsing though the MMM group photos on Flickr and saw your fabulous garments.You are awesome ! How do you find the time,to create such well made and great fitting clothes? I’m inspired,because of you,to join the Self Stitched September challenge. I hope I can manage it. I’m looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations.
I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I can fit the time in in-between household chores and duties.
