Taste the rainbow with Peppermint’s #MeMadeMay makes 💙💚💛🧡❤️💗⁠
⁠
It’s the most wonderful time of year – Me Made May! A time when the internet comes together to celebrate the heights of handmade fashion and consider the work that goes into creating a wardrobe’s worth of wears. In the past, we’ve celebrated by interviewing Me-Made May founder @SoZoBlog and setting challenges for you all, but this year we're diving in ourselves! ⁠
⁠
With the help of our fabulous friends at @Spoonflower, each member of the Peppermint team chose their favourite fabric to make a riotous rainbow of the #PeppermintSamfordSet (designed in collab with @SewToGrow!). The world’s largest marketplace of independent designs from global artists, Spoonflower has more than one million designs to choose from! So to help us navigate their trove of artistic treasures, we assigned ourselves a colour from the trusty ROYGBIV spectrum to build our look from. We’re over the rainbow about the results! Head to the link in our bio to find out the hows, whys and wherefores of everyone’s phenomenal picks and let us know what your favourite fabric is!⁠

🚨 NEW PATTERN ALERT 🚨⁠
⁠
Slip into something a little more comfortable with our latest pattern, the #PeppermintRozelleSlip!⁠
⁠
Made in collaboration with @StitchedForGood’s Annie Robinson, the Peppermint Rozelle Slip is a bias-cut beauty – a sophisticated slip dress with wide-set straps to support those whose busty bounty cannot forgo the support of a brassiere. Gathers in the bust and smart darts in the back create a shapely, self-lined bodice, and the bias-cut skirt drapes like a dream – vary the length of your skirt to go from date-night diva to preppy picnic perfection. Just whip up the invisible centre-back zipper and va-va-voom your way to carefree elegance.⁠
⁠
Many thanks to our sewing partner @Spoonflower for helping to make our patterns possible! The world’s largest marketplace of independent designs from global artists, Spoonflower is leading the way in custom, sustainable textile printing. Their on-demand process significantly reduces materials, energy and water, and uses non-toxic inks and fabrics that are ethically sourced. Pop over to spoonflower.com for inspiration for your next me-made project.⁠
⁠
We used Spoonflower’s Organic Cotton Sateen, printed with a gorgeous art nouveau-inspired design from Austrian designer Michaela Kobyakov.⁠
⁠

Good news, good humans! It’s only one week until PepTalks! 🌟⁠
⁠
As we plan the finishing touches for our upcoming event, we're also reflecting on PepTalks of the past – nights filled with fun and meaning, good chat and even better company. ⁠
⁠
Launched in 2017, we’ve held PepTalks events all over the country to inspire, inform and uplift our amazing community. We’ve heard stories from some of Australia’s most interesting minds, championed local makers and shakers, and brought people together to celebrate all that’s good in the world. ⁠
⁠
In 2023, we’re so excited to be back and our goal for PepTalks remains the same: to put our heart and soul into this event and make it the most positive party of the year. ⁠
⁠
Have you ever been to PepTalks? And…perhaps most importantly, have you got your ticket for PepTalks 2023? ⁠

Come out and play… Peppermint Issue 58 is here to make your day! 💖⁠
⁠
As the centigrade drops down here in Australia, our bold winter issue is coming in hot – arriving, like any good house guest, with a cheeky smile and rugged up in a beautiful bundle of colour. ⁠
⁠
Inside the pages, we go behind the seams with @Cardigang_Knits and break the sweater curse with a generational tale of love and knitting. We return to slow, artisanal principles as we ponder the future of retail. We embrace the pleasures of leisure and go green beyond the grave. We bake vegan pies inspired by seasonal cooking and walk with the giants of the forest alongside Bob Brown (@BobBrownFoundation). ⁠
⁠
It’s a stunner of an issue if we do say so ourselves, capped off by sewing sensation @SueChingLascelles who appears on the cover in a me-made original! We’re sure you will agree… she is the moment. Like a squeeze-til-you-pop kind of hug or the perfect cup of tea, may the issue bring you warmth and comfort through these chilly winter months. ⁠
