@b15erk, you can enter either competition depending on the time frame. Check what suits you best, depending on when you start and finish. You can have entries in both contests if you want to  :)

Excellent!  So I can enter my practice garments here, and the 'proper' Poppins outfit next time!

Must get cracking on the frock then....

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Don't worry it's a bit too wet out there at the moment for fabric shoes!

It could be your entry here thought :D

(If embroidery is allowed)

@Francesca, I initially thought about garments only, but I think ‘anything goes as  long as it is sewn and for someone else’ is the better approach  :)

AaaaaaH!
If I'd known this I would have got on with my 'Spinster Quilt' a bit sharpisher.  :o
I never do anything competition worthy and this could have been my chance.  0_0 I wonder how much faffing I could get done in two weeks....

@Manuela I think 'beautiful' might have been the problem there but I'll go like stink and see how far I get.
This will be just the ticket to get me motivated otherwise I'll be handing it to her at her retirement do.  0_0

B has now been round to discuss the costume. I'll be making her a long black dress with long sleeves, a collar in the style of a poncho and a headdress.

Does it have to be finished and ready to wear?  I need buttons and buttonholes to complete a shirt for my other half. I might complete in time.

No entries yet? I did a whole wardrobe of baby's clothes in a fortnight, a bit nervous about putting it up.
