We are!
Have you picked out your Designer Original and the supplies you need to make your Designer me-made COPY? Or are you just in the planning stages – don’t worry … there are still about 45 days left before DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER 2017 begins! Pull those ideas out, polish them off!
Ever since the first DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER I’ve seen many fabulous garments in the stores, magazines, online, on social media, on the runways … so many beautiful garments! And I say,
“Why buy when you can make it yourself – better and for less money?”
You’ve seen my Designer Originals here … this Haori jacket from zasue.com …
and this dress – which I apologize, I am going to actually make into a skirt and top.
Everything’s cut out and ready to sew!
I’ve shown you my plans for my Designer me-made COPY of my Designer Original. Leave a comment that you want to join in, here or on any DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER post, and I’ll share your post on my blog in DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER, along with everyone else’s, and it will be eligible for PRIZES!
What’s your inspiration? There are many out there. I was googling “designer fashion” and as usual got side-tracked. I’ve collected some styles here and on my Pinterest board, “DESIGNER FASHION” here. Let me show you what I found from way back. (Hover over/click the photos to get the info on them.)
Moving closer to the present, I found these …
