During May, Lolie and Yvonne are running the pledge Seated Makes Challenge. Take a chair and sit on it. Have a bit of fun during Me Made May and include seated photos. We did discuss making sure your feet are parallel to the floor, no matter what your height is. Seated photos show how to fabric drapes over your mid-section. Done is better than perfect. There are prizes in this challenge but Lolie and Yvonne simply want you to add seated makes on your posts. Be your creative self as you post photos in a seated position from a few angles and help others see how patterns truly work when seated.   Instagram no longer provides chronological order so if you can, use the hashtag #SewnShownSeated + the name of the pattern. Will you be posting seated makes on Instagram? If you are able, consider supporting this podcast through our patreon account.
