RE: Miette Addiction – ahem update
I saw this beautiful brown sweater in a shop and went into the changing room to try it out... and then noticed how nice my own cardigan looked in the mirror and that I perhaps would buy a similar garment. So the photo with the comment came into life :-DDD I did not buy the sweater, instead dream of casting on a wrap jacket :-D But first I am making some knitted ear-warmer/headbands as gifts.
And thank you so much for the compliments <3
And with the clothes challenge... it was just an idea, I do not know if it is a good one. I thought of something like this:
minimum three items in the outfit and minimum one handmade (all handmade is possible hats, socks, jackets, shoes, jewellery, bags, skirts.... )
a little (or big) description how the outfit came into being and if it is loved or generally ones feeling towards the handmade items, which pattern and equipment was used etc…
In Germany there is since 2012 an initiative the memademittwoch (me made Wednesday) Here everyone can present their handmade items and show how pattern work on 'normal' (means not photoshopped) body’s. Another aim was to bring people to wear their handmade outfits, be proud of them and their body.
For the steemit challenge I would stretch the rules, meaning if someone do not want to showcase their creations on person, it is ok to lay them down and take a photo...
What do you think? Would you put something like this on @needleworkmonday?
YES YES YES! I seriously love the idea!!! I think this will definitely encourage others to love and appreciate their handmade items. On top of that maybe someone could get some valuable feedback on how to improve on an item they may need help with. Like for instance if someone really doesn’t like what they have made and doesn’t want to wear it, maybe we can help change that.
So you are saying at least one item in the outfit needs to be handmade right? I like the idea of them laying the garments out in case they don’t want to be the model. We have a few that posts that are not comfortable with selfies. Would you like to take time to elaborate on the details and then we can make it an official challenge? It’s up to you how you want this done...meaning you can post it under your own account or @needleworkmonday can and give you the credits for the challenge idea. Are you on Discord?
I am on discord, same name :-D and I would love to puzzle out the details there <3
