Me Made May!

3 days agoEdited to

... Read moreParticipating in Me Made May has been an incredible way to immerse myself in the creative sewing community. Each day, sharing a handmade garment not only boosts my confidence but also inspires me to try new styles and refine my sewing skills. The hashtag #memademay connects thousands of passionate sewists around the world, turning this month into a virtual runway of unique, handcrafted fashion. I particularly enjoy experimenting with patterns like Simplicity 1356, which offers versatile options for creating comfortable yet stylish pieces. As someone who values sustainable fashion, making my own clothes allows me to choose quality fabrics and control the production process, reducing waste and supporting ethical practices. Aside from the satisfaction of wearing clothes I've made myself, Me Made May encourages self-expression and sustainability. It challenges the fast-fashion norms and promotes mindfulness in wardrobe choices. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewist, joining this challenge can be rewarding — it pushes you to complete projects, share your progress, and appreciate the art of garment-making. For anyone interested in sewing and sustainable fashion, I recommend starting with simple patterns and gradually exploring more complex designs. Engage with the community online through #memademay and #sewing hashtags to find inspiration and support. Embracing handmade clothes can transform not just your wardrobe but your perspective on fashion and creativity.

A person in green shorts and a grey hoodie is positioned on an incline sit-up bench in a gym. The image has text overlay "STOMACH GETTING TOO FLAT (TRAIN YOUR CORE GIRL)", suggesting a core workout.
A split image shows a person performing incline sit-ups with arms straight. The top frame shows the person lying back, and the bottom frame shows them sitting up. The exercise is prescribed as "3 x 20".
A three-part image illustrates toe raises and toe taps. The person lies on their back, first with hands above head for toe raises (3x20), then with legs straight up for toe taps (3x failure), reaching towards their toes.
THESE EXERCISES MADE ME TOO TONED
Stop training your abs and STRENGTHEN THAT CORE. Feeling stiff after standing up may be a sign of poor posture, and poor posture usually has to do with a lack of core strength. If you feel stiff or struggle to straighten your back fully when standing up, you likely have a weak core. When your
