Question regarding the last contest
« on: November 09, 2019, 00:34:57 AM »
With Christmas coming up, I had. ‘What was I thinking’ moment looking at the contest schedule.
Now, here is my question: is there anyone who really wants to do the blouse/shirt contest in December, or should we take it over onto next year’s schedule and do it in February or so.

Opinions greatly appreciated.

No I'm probably not going to do it then, but others may be making shirts as Christmas gifts.
If it stays in December I won't participate, if it moves to Feb, I might.

I won't be doing it in December, I've just been sorting my clothes out - I don't need to make anything else for a few weeks at least.

Having the blouse/shirt sewing in February would work with my sewing plans... I've got at least two in my queue, but also have to sort out fit on one, which means multiple toiles, so some extra time is all to the good.

As a viewer and not a participant I can say that December often turns into a blur. All the beautiful garments will be much nicer to enjoy early next year. Hate to see them not be seen by many of us in our rush to local activities.

They would certainly brighten up a dull and dreary February.  :flower:
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.
