Pantone Viva Magenta Contest - 1 March to 30 April 2023

[Catllar]

Fank you so much! @Acorn.

[Ouryve]

That's a lovely Spring blouse, though it's probably more suited to winter in your neck of the woods 

[SewRuthieSews]

Lovely blouse @Catllar !

[Iminei]

Do any of these prints say 'Viva Magenta' to you?

Surely thats RED ??? Not Magenta

[SewRuthieSews]

@Iminei  depending on the site/page/picture/screen the examples of Pantone's Viva Magenta vary quite a bit, so for this contest we are allowing a broad interpretation within the pink/red/purple/burgundy/plum sort of range :-)

[SewRuthieSews]

Hello folks, how are your Viva Magenta projects coming along?

Do I have a change from my teal items and try something different.....

[Ouryve]

You should go for it, @SewRuthieSews.


I'm a thumb short of half a pair of gloves    (my family might agree)

[SewRuthieSews]

we have 10 days to start and finish our Viva Magenta projects folks.

I am going to make an effort with some of mine :-)

[Ouryve]

Definitely need to make an effort with mne!

Sew Ruthie Sews Entry 1
TNT New Look 6735 top with 3/4 sleeves and a scoop neckline for me
The fabric (Tropical Digital Print Jersey - Ivory and Pink Multi) was an online purchase in November last year (Fabrics for All ) as part of the closing down sale.

[Ouryve]

That us definitely vibrant, @SewRuthieSews. I do like a big print.

[Tamnymore]

Wow fantastic @SewRuthieSews . Yes I had quite a haul from Fabric for All but I must have missed that lovely fabric!

[SewRuthieSews]

The same fabric is on Minerva

I'm not sure that this fits the criteria but I'll submit it and accept the decision of the 'powers that be' as to suitability

Kad's #1 entry Spencer Ogg Accordion Wallet

I'd heard lots of good things about Spencer Ogg patterns so I thought that it'd be worth trying it out. Turns out to be a pretty, useful size of purse BUT the way that the gussets are constructed  so much faffing around making 4 shaped gusset pieces when the same can be achieved so much more simply. It's done, it's pretty and will be used but never again!

I've just noticed that the plain fabric looks to be a different colour in each photo  I can assure you that it's the same fabric, must be due to the camera flash in the photo of the purse outer. Irl the first photo is the most realistic.

Lovely @Kad and definitely within the rules, thank you so much for sharing!
