Peppermint team member Michelle found this on her bathroom mirror courtesy of her daughter and, needless to say, we’re all feeling pretty charmed and chuffed (and maybe a bit sad that PepTalks is an 18+ event).⁠
⁠
But if you’re like this very clever child and want to join us at PepTalks, there’s still time – grab one of the last tickets and come along for goodie bags, good chat and a good time!⁠

The only downside to #MeMadeMay is that you're all posting so many marvellous makes, it’s hard to keep up, and absolutely impossible to pick our favourites! It’s an embarrassment of riches and you simply must head to the appropriate hashtags to check out the rest of the #MeMadeMay2023 and #PeppermintPatterns goodness. ⁠
⁠
To celebrate you darling buds of May, at the link in our bio we've put together a roundup of some of our favourite makes we’ve seen this month. If you want to show off your sensational sewing, be sure to tag us in your posts and you might see yourself in The Stitch Up in months to come!⁠

Here at Peppermint, we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we live and work. We pay our respects to their elders past and present, recognising that these lands have always been places of storytelling. ⁠
⁠
As PepTalks fast approaches (it's happening this Thursday!), we're beyond honoured to share that Songwoman Maroochy Barambah (@TurrbalPeople) – the Songwoman and Law-woman of the Turrbal Tribe who's a renowned member of the performing arts community and a respected Elder in Meanjin – will be performing the Welcome to Country ceremony.⁠
⁠
This beautiful and important ceremony is an essential part of PepTalks, an evening filled with meaning – with inspiring speakers, gorgeous snacks made with native ingredients and a celebration of all that’s good in the world. ⁠

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.⁠
⁠
Head to the link in our bio to learn more about the Rozelle and get a FREE printed pattern with your copy of Issue 58 (on sale now!) or pay what you want for the digital download.
