Me Made May. Huh? Me made what??

​So...what's this Me-Made-May thing about anyway? Have you heard of it? Maybe you are reading this with a "deer in the headlights" look. 

It's a maker challenge created by Zoe at So, Zo... what do you know? 
​

​​The challenge starts on May 1st and runs the entire month of May. It is supposed to make you aware of your handmade wardrobe-jewelry, sewing, knitting, re-fashioned piece, anything you make, that can be worn. Sounds fun right? 
Read here for Zoe's explanation: Me Made May

The challenge helps you in knowing where your handmade wardrobe is at. If you need to add more pieces. If you need to make things you actually wear. Do you need to make more tops because you only sew up pants? Or, do you sew all the fancy dresses but don't have anything you can throw on to wear grocery shopping?
I'm curious what the month will entail for me. 

Is your makeup bag worn out or do you need a quick gift to make? You can make a new zip pouch quickly. No tears, I promise. ;)
You probably have some cute fabric already in your stash. You don't need a lot, just a few large scraps. 

Materials: 

• 2 pieces of outer fabric measuring 7" wide by 9" long
• 2 pieces of inner fabric measuring 7" wide by 9" long
• Fusible fleece interfacing for stability
• 12-14" Zipper ( I prefer a longer zipper, it makes it easier)
• Pins or clips
• Sewing machine
• Matching thread and bobbin
• Zipper foot
• Chopstick or sad unsharpened pencil for poking out corners
• Labels if you want to add a personal touch
• Iron and board
• Seam ripper... just in case
•
