12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAYS 🎁⁠
⁠
🎄On the fifth day of Christmas, Peppermint gave to me... a Beddie giveaway 🎄⁠
⁠
Today's your chance to win one of two $250 vouchers to spend on beautiful bedding from Beddie! Inspired by vintage patterns and playful nostalgia, designer Deborah Brown started Beddie – a dreamy range of heirloom quality sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases. Not only is each piece manufactured using Oeko-Tex-certified cotton and dyes, but thoughtful details like extra-wide elastic, generously sized pillowcases and hidden zippers on quilt covers mean making the bed is no longer a nightmare.⁠

We're throwing it back to Issue 56's gorgeous #PeppermintRosalieSkirt today because Johanna Morris, the lovely New Zealand-based patternmaker behind Forget-Me-Not Patterns, has just released a pattern expansion! ⁠
⁠
From @ForgetMeNotPatterns: ⁠
⁠
"💃 She’s here! Our free/pay-what-you-want pattern expansion is available on the site today. I hope you guys appreciate this little pattern project. This one goes out to all the dart-lovers who appreciate a tailored fit in the back 🥰. You can check out the blog post for more info but basically, we initially released this pattern with an elastic back in collaboration with @PeppermintMagazine and now we've added a variation on it that replaces the elastic with darts and a fitted waistband. Enjoy!⁠
⁠
P.S. Which do you prefer, the cottage-core vibe or the witchy vibe? 😄 I loved branching out a bit with this style and this shoot! 🖤"⁠

International Day of People with Disability 💚⁠
⁠
"When I was a kid, I used to put posters of my idols on my bedroom walls – pop stars, actors, models, even a cricketer! I wanted to know everything about them – and dreamed of becoming a journalist so I too could write articles about my idols. I looked to them to show me what was possible. But none of them were disabled… yet I was.⁠
⁠
"Although I have lived with ichthyosis, a severe rare skin condition, since birth, I didn't identify as disabled until I came to know other disabled people and saw how much we had in common. While I had a different diagnosis, we experienced similar barriers – inaccessible spaces, discrimination, significant time off work and school because of illness, and hospital appointments and stays. I also admired the strong sense of pride many of the disabled people I came to know had.⁠
⁠
"If I had known more disabled people when I was younger, I would have found disability pride sooner. I would have seen that disability isn't shameful or limiting. I would have been reassured that I could lead both an ordinary and extraordinary life." ⁠
⁠
In Issue 60, appearance activist @CarlyFindlay rewrites a childhood yearning for disabled representation with her own seven icons, complemented by this gorgeous poster by beloved Brissie artist @Nordacious. Grab a copy of the issue today to get this baby on your own walls and read more from Carly!⁠
⁠
Big love to legendary Melbourne fashion label @ObusClothing for their contribution to Carly’s work for this feature.⁠

MEET THE PATTERNMAKER 🪡⁠
⁠
Summer’s here and by this point, you'll have seen we’re coming in hot with our latest pattern – the #PeppermintBronteBathers. This exclusive, fun-in-the-sun pattern was created for us in collaboration with the marvellous Sharon and Justine Cowie from @SwimStylePatterns.⁠
⁠
Making patterns for almost 40 years, Sharon has always shared the joys of sewing with her daughter, Justine, and together they launched Swim Style Patterns.⁠
⁠
In the spirit of going behind the seams, we caught up with the mother-daughter duo to learn more about their label and to rack their brains for tips and tricks when creating the swimsuit. Read on at the link in our bio. ⁠
