I've read about this in previous years, but never felt I could participate. Since I learnt to knit socks last year (search winwick mum sock along on facebook!) my number of hand made clothes has increased to a point where I now feel I can wear a handmade item every day for a month.
I've been trying this out for most of April. So far I've come to the conclusion cold days = I have socks and a jumper and hot days = I have a few tops. I've not had occasion to wear a summer skirt!!
I've also realised I don't really have anything handmade that is suitable to wear for work. So there's a challenge - make something to wear for work.
I have 3 sets of patterns matched to fabric sitting doing nothing - there's the second challenge. Make at least one of these into an item of clothing.
I have two pairs of worn jeans needing patching. Challenge 3 - patch both pairs of jeans.
Scout camp at the beginning of the month has provided challenge 4 - knit 2 more pairs of boot socks.
Let's see what happens!
