October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I am showing up strongly in support of Femme Empowerment.
I decided to show my Femme Empowerment by making a pink pencil skirt and designing a shirt with words that exemplify who I am as a woman. I chose Simplicity 1559 for the skirt pattern and for the shirt I used vinyl I purchased from JoAnn to create an empowerment t-shirt. I placed the words in various directions so to give the look I was looking for.
The words on my shirt read BOLD, EMPOWERED, COURAGEOUS, FAITHFUL, FEARLESS, FIGHTTER, LEADER, BELIEVER, WARRIOR, STRONG, AWESOME, RESILIENT and BRAVE. I chose those words as they reflect the woman I was, I am and the woman I want to continue to be.
The hot pink wool blend fabric I got at JoAnn Fabrics is bold and definitely sure to stand out. It’s perfect for a skirt. The pattern I chose was Simplicity 1559. This is one of my favorite skirt patterns to make. It’s simple and straight to the point. The only modification I made was to taper it at the knees.
Join the cause this October to help women in need today to raise awareness for breast cancer, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
