This year I have once again committed to participate in the year-long RTW Fast Facilitated by the fabulous Sarah of GoodbyeValentino. The amazing number of 1030 participants from what I guess is around the world have registered for this challenge.
The challenge is described more in depth on the GoodbyeValentino blog. The invitation is by now however closed. The essence of the challenge is though:
“The Ready to Wear Fast is a vow to abstain from buying clothes for one year. You will give up buying clothes from January 1 – December 31, 2018. You may sew anything, and you may fabric shop as much as you would like! The purpose is to Save Money and Improve Your Sewing Skills, but believe me, the rewards of the commitment will exceed your expectations.”
The reasons for me to join is to take charge of my consumption – both for the sake of my own wallet but also hopefully the environment. Sewing your own clothes developed ones awareness of quality, value and production procedures involved in the clothes one wears.
If you are curious there is a list of participants in this post.
Am so looking forward to all the sewing projects I have planed.

Thanks for the mention, Annika!
Jag fick ta bort länken till din blogg eftersom din bild är så stor att den täckte allt jag hade i min blogg. Tänk på att inte lägga upp för stora bilder när du bloggar men det var kanske bara en miss just idag.
Bra utmaning förresten. Jag har redan slutat att köpa kläder så jag valde att inte vara med även om jag var lite sugen. Ha det bra!
Oj då, det sk jag försöka åtgärda.
Nu såg det annorlunda ut när jag la till länken igen. Hoppas att det håller i sig. =D
