Today's the day! 🎉⁠
⁠
And we're very excited to say that PepTalks is now SOLD OUT! Woo! 🥳⁠
⁠
So friends, what are you wearing? If you're sporting something you've stitched up yourself, enjoy this little trip down me-made lane from the last PepTalks Me-Made Parade in 2023. And look at the lovely Laura! She was new to our Peppermint world back then, and what a wonderful full-circle moment this is, having her lead the festivities tonight. 🥹⁠
⁠
And seriously – Amy @Jasper_Creek and @EllieWhittakerStudio, what an iconic duo!⁠
⁠
Can't wait for tonight – thanks to our amazing community for selling out the event. You are the best. 🫶🏼⁠

“Everything is broken and stupid and I’m gonna run away!” One half of my friend’s three-year-old twins tends towards (entertainingly) dramatic utterings, but her latest heartfelt wail resonated with me. Her concerns (a misplaced toy) may differ slightly from my newsfeed-induced worries (what fresh hell is happening everywhere and all at once today, then?) but our need is the same: to flee. Or, at least, hide under a comfy blanket eating ALL the popcorn until the bad stuff is over.⁠
⁠
Spoiler alert: the bad stuff isn’t going anywhere. (Sigh.) So what to do to navigate the sense of overwhelm and feel like you’re making a difference in the world? One thing. That’s what. Or, more accurately, three things:⁠
⁠
🌿 Step away from the newsfeed.⁠
🌿 Do one small, positive thing. And then do one more.⁠
🌿 Keep going.⁠
⁠
Pretty soon, you may find yourself feeling just that little bit more in control of your surroundings, more connected to the people around you, with a refilled emotional reservoir and the strength to step back into the ring and make some change. Wondering what this lifechanging ‘one thing’ could be? Frankly, anything, as long as it makes you feel like a better human for doing it. ⁠
⁠
Our Deputy Ed Donnay rounded up 10 simple ways to be kinder to self, others, and the planet to help get you started on this ‘let’s do the thing!’ journey. (All tried-and-tested by the Peppermint team!). Head to the link in bio to read more! 🌏️⁠

PepTalks - only a few days to go!⁠
⁠
Do you find it hard to make good choices amongst the day-to-day of life? Katie Roberts is an environmental scientist with a passion for sustainable fashion, and she's going to talk to us about 'behavioural economics': how it's not just a case of knowing what to do to make change, or we would have done that already. It's about removing barriers to make change easier.⁠
⁠
With a Master of Environment majoring in Sustainability Education, and founder of @SustainabilityInStyle, Katie has a fascinating background; she’s been a plant and water science research officer, yoga teacher, park ranger, part of the fashion teaching team at UniSC, as well as having studied and worked in the fashion industry across a range of positions. Her passion for the social and environmental reformation of the fashion industry is fierce and she believes that consumers hold the power to create change. Come and hear Katie share her insights into how we can more easily do the right thing.⁠

💐💐💐

From @Lauren_Rogers_Art_ Hey friends, jumping on here to share a little reminder about Peppermint Magazine Issue 63 - such a beautiful edition, and I’m really proud to have created the cover artwork for this one!

There are so many powerful and inspiring stories inside, from regenerative textiles and the history of women in trousers, to crafting as protest, and community yarns from @TheSocialOutfit and @Made590

If you haven’t grabbed a copy yet, it’s definitely worth a read. Big thanks again to the Peppermint team for including my work and story, so grateful to be part of something so thoughtful and creative! ✨🌻🫶🏽

Catch you soon x

(Don’t forget that the lovely Lauren is talking at our PepTalks event next weekend! 🙌🏼)

We are SEW OBSESSED! Absolutely stunning. 🙌🏼⁠
⁠
From @Birdy_Sew_Obsessed:⁠
⁠
"I started this jacket two weeks ago and finished it early this week. There was a lot of hand sewing and brain work to make it reversible, but it's done and I love it. ⁠
⁠
Peppermint asked me if I wanted to try their new pattern, they will also be providing the fabric for the outer shell. They had me in the first sentence but when they mentioned Liberty fabric...I couldn't fire up my printer and sharpen my scissors fast enough.⁠
⁠
I picked this fabric because I used to grow orchids and I thought the colours would work well with my existing wardrobe. I made a good choice I reckon. ⁠
⁠
🧵 Pattern: #PeppermintViolaQuiltedJacket from @PeppermintMagazine in size E-H. I only shorten the sleeves by 4cm. ⁠
⁠
I made the jacket reversible by making two outer shells and then sewing them together. There's a lot of extra steps that went into it so I will save it as a highlighted story if anyone is interested.⁠
⁠
🧵 Fabric: Liberty London quilting cotton from @2GreenZebras . This is the first time I've used LL fabric and I can see why people rave about it. ⁠
⁠
Cotton linen mustard fabric and batting is from my personal stash."⁠
