Get Your Sew On: It’s The Peppermint Me Made Makes Competition!
- Words by Peppermint
Well stitchy pals, it’s that time again! Me Made May has rolled around and we don’t know about you, but we are chomping at the bit to celebrate our me-made makes All. Month. Long!
This 31 day celebration isn’t all about sewing new garments, it’s also about showcasing the items in your wardrobe which you have proudly turned from 2D pieces of fabric into 3D garments that reflect your authentic personality and style. In saying that, for us at least it’s also a time of inspiration as we see more fabrics and patterns popping up on our feed and that really gets our creative juices flowing!
So if you’re high on sewjo, we’d love you to accept our invitation to participate in our Me Made Makes competition. To go in the draw just sew any Peppermint pattern, post your creation to social media tagging #PeppermintMeMadeMakes and you’ll go in the running to win 1 of 5 fabulous bundles of sewing treasures from Peppermint and some of our sensational sewing partners!
Each pack (worth over $340 each!) includes:
Teggun Ashleigh – $30 gift voucher and 1 x pack of handpainted buttons worth $16!
Echidna Sewing – Sewing Starter Bundle worth $189!
Sew Your Way – magnetic pin cushion worth $19.90 and 1 x pack of SiliPins worth $39.90!
MollyMolly Fabrics – 3 x label sets worth $10.95 each, $32.95 total!
Peppermint patterns bundle of 3 x printed patterns including Somerset Swing Dress, Valentine Ruffle Top and the Tansey Top!
Issue 3 of Peppermint’s digital sewing magazine Sew&Tell worth $12!
Sew good!
Whether you have a Peppermint pattern sitting in your to-sew stash, a tried and true fave that you could do with another version of or perhaps you’re feeling inspired to sew something new (Viola Quilted Jacket, anyone?), the Peppermint website has a plethora of pay-what-you-can patterns for you to pick. Best of all, there are patterns which are accessible to all skill levels so if you’re just dipping your toe into the world of sewing, know that we got you boo!
The challenge will run from 1st – 31st May and the lucky five winners will be drawn at the beginning of June, each receiving a prize pack. Your entry must be on a post that has been posted in May 2025.
We can’t wait to see your makes!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…. Which means we are officially entering party season. Work parties, friend-dos, family get-togethers and then we’re straight into New Year festivities. If you’re lucky enough, you might be staring down the barrel…

Any New Year’s resolutions on your list? We love this from @OtterBeeStitching - “be brave enough to suck at something new”.
There’s no points for perfection, but you’ll get a trophy for trying. If nothing else this year, take the leap and try something new.

A toast to the old you 🥂
We wholeheartedly love this post from the brilliant @EmilyOnLife:
“2026: Reinvent, burn it down, let it go (whatever it is). Year of the Snake it up. Exercise your boundaries, exercise your body, take one teeny step every day towards a life that feels better to be in.
But don’t you dare shit on your old self while you do it.
Hold yourself with reverence and tenderness and respect, because you got you this far. You did your very best with the information and tools you had at the time. You scraped yourself together, you made it work, you survived what felt impossible to survive: again and again and again.
You are perpetually in the process of becoming, whether you can feel it or not, whether or not you add it to your 2026 to-do list.“
Some very wise words from @Damon.Gameau to take us into 2026 🙌🏼
⭐️ We made it!!! ⭐️
Happy New Year, friends. To those who smashed their goals and achieved their dreams, and to those who are crawling over the finish line hoping to never speak of this year again (and everyone else in between): we made it. However you got here is enough. Be proud.
It’s been a tough year for many of us in small business, so here’s to a better year in 2026. We’re forever grateful for all your support and are jumping for joy to still be here bringing you creativity, kindness and community.
We’re also excited to be leaping into the NY with our special release sewing pattern – the Waratah Wrap Dress!
How great are our fabulous models: @Melt.Stitches, @KatieMakesADress and @Tricky.Pockets - and also our incredible Sewing Manager @Laura_The_Maker! 🙌🏼
Ok 2026: let’s do this. 💪🏼

Putting together our annual Stitch Up brings on all the feels! We feel humbled that you’ve chosen to sew Peppermint patterns, we feel inspired by the versions you’ve created and we feel proud of you.
Where to begin?! As always, there has been a plethora of Peppermint patterns flooding our feeds this year, and we wish we could showcase more than just a handful of magnificent makes from you, our clever community. We encourage you to flip through the me-made items in your wardrobe or scroll through your grid and remind yourself of the beauty you’ve created with your own two hands (and maybe a seam ripper and some choice words). Congratulations to all of us for our creative achievements this year!
We’ve put together some (but absolutely not all) of our favourites from 2025 over on our website. We hope it inspires your next make!
