I love December … holidays, family, giving … DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER!
Have you chosen which Designer Original you would like to copy? Or perhaps, like me, you are already working on your COPY of your Designer Original?
There is so much inspiration out there to feed our DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER ideas … dream garments in the stores, in magazines, on social media … the Fashion Runway… so many beautiful garments! I say, “Why buy when you can make it yourself – better and for less money?”
I plan on making a COPY of these Designer Original garments …
… using these patterns, McCall’s M6896 view E and New Look 6433 view A. I’ll have to make a few alterations to the patterns to get the results I want.
You’ve been reading about my plans for my COPY of my Designer Original. Leave a comment on any of my posts during DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER that you want to join in or have finished your COPY of your Designer Original and I’ll share your photos and story on my blog!
* NEWS FLASH *
Just to spice things up a little, this DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER, after collecting all your makes, I’ll ask the readers to vote on their favourite and pick The DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER 2016 WINNER – along with winning the “Title”, there will be a small prize donated by Nice dress!
