Welcome to The Sewing Place’s 2nd SWAKOP contest. As last year we can have the option of early (31.10.2109) and late (30.11.2019) finishers. The early finishers would get extra votes as a reward.
You will make
2 groups of 4 or 5 coordinating garments. What they are is up to you and should suit your lifestyle. Mine would be dresses with coordinating capes or dusters, other would make skirts/trousers, tops and jackets... That’s entirely up to you. However,
each group must have a colour theme.. Now the tricky bit, you will also make
1 bridge garment, a piece of garment that coordinates with both of your groups. This can be made in a neutral colour, a print, etc. Ideally it’ll be some sort of over garment (jacket, coat, cape, vest)
that can be worn with most of the combinations you have in your groups.
So, everybody should have a collection of anything between 9 to 11 garments by the end of it.
1 item can be RTW
1 item can be a previously made garment (if 5ou’re on a RTW fast, you can include 2 previously made garments)
Here a few rules:
1. You can start with your muslins, fitting and cutting now - sewing starts on on May 1st.
2. Your
clearly labelled submission post with pictures must be up here one week after you finished, i.e. on 7.11.2019 for early finishers, on 7.12.2019 for late finishers. I don’t set a limit for pictures, but there should be one image showing the whole collection.
3. You need to indicate your participation latest by September 15th with a post this thread.
