My sister's and I LOVE the show Project Runway on Thursday nights on Lifetime. We look forward to it all week, then call each other to talk about it the next day. So since we all love to sew too, we decided to do our own version of it. We all wanted to learn to make patterns and to just be better. Originally my mom and my sister Jen were going to do it with us, but they opted out.
O.K. so the challenge was to design and make something unique for a child.
And the finalists (ok the contestants) are
Jeanette's amazing use of fabric design. She made this skirt and shirt for my niece Amy, who is 12.
Julie's incredible first attempt at a flat felled zipper (which she executed perfectly). She made this skirt, shirt, and belt for her daughter Kaisa, who is 10.
This T is so cute, and I love that she made up the pattern completely.
My fun use of cotton scraps that I have at the house. I made this dress for my daughter Ellie, who is 3.
This is a bad pic, but Ellie still looks cute in this dress.
As you can see, we have different styles, but we all learned a lot and had fun with this challenge. Tune in a couple weeks for the reveal of the next challenge.
