Me Made Carnival ~ Barbados Carnival 2019 edition
Hi, thanks for stopping by! It’s your girl Esha here and this is a video I’ve been wanting to do for quite some time now!
For every trip that I take our clients on and especially the Carnival trips, I make quite a few of my outfits. I’ve been moving more and more towards a completely handmade Carnival wardrobe for each trip. For Barbados Carnival in 2019, also known as Crop Over, I *almost* had all completely self-made outfits and lucky me, I’ve finally had a chance to capture all of my makes on video to share with you.
First, a little bit about “Me Made Carnival”. It’s my take on the #memademay movement that was started quite some time ago by Zoe of So Zo, what do you know? It’s an annual event that promotes wearing self-made clothing and sustainable sewing during the month of May.
My “Me Made Carnival” is a take on that except it’s specifically for one of my loves, Carnival!
I’m sharing 4 outfits with you in this video, enjoy!
