You have voted, so here it is - TSP's first competition of 2018: One Pattern Three Ways
Start: 15.02.2018 as soon as you wake up
End: 31.03.2018 midnight UK time
The competition is open to all members.
Rules:
1. You can prepare, make muslins, fit the pattern, choose the fabric, etc. before the official start.
2. One pattern three ways doesn't mean making 3 views from the pattern envelope. You should actively modify the pattern to ensure your three garments look distinctively different from each other. think about amendments such as:
- different collars
- changing sleeve shapes/lengths/etc.
- pivot darts to create princess seams, pleats or gathering
- turn a blouse pattern into a shirt dress
- play with seam lines
- be adventurous with colour blocking, hem shapes, pockets, closures....
3. Sewing starts on February 15th and ends on March 31st
4. You can enter your garments in the next competition as well as part of your signature collection. It would be unrealistic not to do so, and most of us have busy lives where finding time to se is not easy. The aim of this challenge is to create TNT patterns you can use again and again in the future.
5. You have to enter 3 garments, however, they
don't need to work together as a collection/combo.
6. Use this thread to document your progress and ask questions. I'll edit this post frequently to reply to any question you have - that way the answers will be all in one place.
7. Please be patient with me
I do this for the first time, and will probably only able to logon once a day when my second Teaching Practice module starts on February 5th.
8. Hmm, there may or may not be a price - need to put my thinking cap on. I hope our lovely admin can come up with a badge for the winner.
I am really looking forward to this
Question 1: Can I just check it says sewing starts on 15th feb does that mean we can cut out as well as the other prep listed please?
Answer: Yes, you can. All planning and preparation including cutting can be done before the start.
