This article promotes a collaboration and a charity shirt I am selling with my friend NUDE Collective:]
Hello my dear readers! One of the things I love most about blogging and creative work is being part of a wonderful network of other inspiring people and collaborating on projects that we love. Half a year ago, I got to know my dear friend Maria of NUDE Collective and we liked each other immediately.
We are now working on our project ‘NUDE x Luloveshandmade’, having developed this wonderful handlettering charity shirt and selling it to donate the money to a women’s shelter in Berlin. Read more in this article.

About Us
Maria’s creative work started because she wanted to develop patterns for women to make clothes they feel absolutely comfortable in. As a pattern designer, she wants to make it possible for women to sew clothes for themselves that fit perfectly, but don’t have the typical handmade look. Sustainable thinking is important to her and she believes that through the process of sewing our own clothes, we learn to not only value the materials and their origins, but also the finished pieces. Her label is called “NUDE COLLECTIVE” because it’s not limited only to sewing patterns. It’s Maria’s mission to help women feel comfortable in their own skin and to enjoy the clothes they wear and make. To achieve this, she wants to empower other people and our project ‘NUDE x Luloveshandmade’ is her first big step in this direction.
As you might probably know, I’ve been writing my blog Luloveshandmade since 2009 and this place here is where I share a ton of creative DIY projects and tutorial, lots of colorful everyday life inspiration, theme party concepts, fashion and costume ideas, freebies and personal stories. Making the world more colorful and to inspire and empower others, that’s the mission. Besides working on all kinds of do-it-yourself projects for my blog, I also do commissioned work for clients and one of my biggest passions is lettering. Telling stories, sharing thoughts and conveying emotions with creatively designed words and putting together beautiful fonts is what I get the most excited about.
A few weeks ago, Maria had the idea to develop a charity shirt and asked me if I wanted to join her on this project. I was excited immediately, we then did a brainstorming for the wording, I did lettering sketches, we then decided on our favorite one and ordered shirts. After getting our wording printed, we did a photo shoot and here we are, telling you about what we want to to with it. To me, working on ‘NUDE x Luloveshandmade’ is a great opportunity to support my friend whilst also feeling the benefit of teamwork and creativity together.

All Boobs Are Beautiful – About the Project
What we want to do with this project is foster self-love and deliver a strong and clear statement that: All bodies and all boobs are beautiful! We want to celebrate the individuality of human bodies so that everyone can feel great in their own skin. We are perfect the way we are. Let’s challenge together the stereotypical images of women and bodies and support each other to be ourselves.
Our aim is to help empower women from all backgrounds and celebrate diversity on the basis of race, sexual orientation, physical ability, belief or shape. The message of this project hopes to help build women’s self-esteem after negative, traumatic and often violent experiences. To do that we aim to donate all profit from the sale of these shirts to a women’s shelter. Women who exit toxic relationships where they have experienced psychological or physical abuse often lose their self-confidence and struggle with their own self-perception. With this project, we want to financially support the great work that is already being done to help them.

Where the Donations go to
100% of the profits will be donated to the Berlin-based women’s shelter ‘SCHOKOFABRIK’, Europe’s largest open space of that kind with 1,200 sqm2 offering a range of councelling, leisure, social and handicraft services. The shelter Frauenzentrum Schokoladenfabrik e.V. was founded in the 80s as part of a feminist project and operates around basic feminist principles with the aim to support and empower women*, lesbians and girls on as individuals. It is a place for communication and networks and visitors of any age, abilities, race and sexual orientation are welcome.
