The Sewing Place's very own wardrobing competition. You are going to create your very own coordinating signature collection. I tried to come up with rules the would work for (almost) everyone, we live in different countries/continents in very different climates and lead different lives.
Rules:
1. Your collection should be a total of 10 garments.
2. You are allowed to include 1 RTW garment and 2 previously made garments (or, if you're like me and have hardly any RTW garments, 3 previously made garments).
3. You should make 3 groups of 3 garments and one wild card. Here is how:
I will use the terms 'overs' and 'unders' and give examples how to understand them. They are flexible between groups. Each group should consist of 2 overs and 1 under
- if you wear dresses and want to make a group around them, a dress is an 'over' and a jacket/cape/coat/duster/waistcoat would be an 'under' that goes with it.
- if you wear pinafores and need something to go with that, a pinafore would be an 'under' and any t-shirt/shirt/blouse would be and over
- if you make trousers/skirts that will be worn with t-shirts/blouses/tunics, the bottom is an 'under' and the top is an 'over'
Group 1:
2 overs and 1 under
Group 2:
2 overs and 1 under
Group 3:
2 overs and 1 under - they must coordinate with either group 1 OR 2
Wild Card:
Either an over or an under that coordinates with group 1 AND 2
Time frame:
I know that some of you have already cut or half finished garments they would like to include, that is fine, but not more than 2.
Other than that sewing starts on May 15 and ends on October 31st. Pictures should be up by November 5th.
Any garment you make for the two currently running competitions can be included.
Please post your initial plan here by October 1st and indicate your participation.
Fire away if you have questions, happy planning
ETA:
Deadline extension until December 10th, and early bird bonus forvthise who finish on October 31st
Now that's an excellent idea
@Francesca Those who finish on October 31st will get an e tra x-votes bonus (the exact number to be decided) foe finishing early. Submission posts need to be up by November 5th
Those who finish on December 10th won't. Submission posts need to be up by December 15th.
