Camilla @frkc.lindberg from Sweden is back as today's Sewover50 guest. She's been blown away by the encouraging comments she's received from her podcast in March.  She is now working on her upcoming podcast about the sewing community in Sweden.

Frk is short for fröken - Miss in English so it’s Miss C Lindberg. I label my work with Frk C/ Miss C.  Fröken is also teacher in Swedish.

Camilla what she enjoys sewing in a really fun way. She doesn't follow rules as you'll hear in this podcast and in her earlier podcast.

Amy Tuite of the Brisbane Spoolettes is back and ready to get into #memademay2021.

Make sure you go to Zoe Edwards blog if you want more info about #memademay2021 and what the #Memademay2021 challenge is all about. However in short: it’s a personal challenge to wear your handmade clothing more often or in different ways during May 2021.

The goal is to have fun, feel proud, celebrate your personal achievements and this beautiful community of makers, and learn useful lessons that will help improve your relationship with your handmade wardrobe.

Me Made May 2021 is not a photo challenge, however, many people choose to document their challenge by taking and sharing photos.

The Australian Sewing Guild is about to launch #memademonday in October. This is a challenge to showcase what you've sewn while you've been in social isolation.

Every year a similar challenge #memademay is fairly similar and runs everyday in May.

The ASG October challenge on the 4 Mondays in October is your chance to showcase your sewing projects on instagram and on facebook. Make sure you note the pattern used, fabric used, any details about the project and use #memademonday and #australiansewingguild. You might enjoy this challenge and take us Memademay next year.  Go on! 

Make sure you listen to part 1 where Zoe Edwards starts chatting to us about MeMadeMay2020. You'll find it here and on her podcast blog post.

There are many patterns that excite us this month and we hope you'll join in whenever you're ready.

Zoe Edwards ('SoZo), the heart behind MeMadeMay gave us some of her time to chat about why she decided to run #MeMadeMay2020 during this time of staying at home. 

This episode is about what #MeMadeMay2020 is all about and how the experience and learnings are the focus and not the photos. You'll hear what Zoe loves about Me Made May 2020.
