Have you got a favourite designer? A favourite designer garment that you would LOVE to own but would never buy? Find your Designer Original photo and your pattern, and make your Designer me-made Copy!
WHAT IS THE DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER CHALLENGE?
We have all seen something we LOVE either in the stores, online or on the runways, but don’t actually want to buy for some reason. So I propose that we sew that garment that we see/want. Now if you are lucky and you already have an exact pattern, either an indie pattern, your own self-drafted, or a “Big 4” pattern, that you can use – then go for it! Are you a fan of Vintage or Historic fashion, or Re-fashioning, you can do that too! Whatever works for you. Show us your Designer Original photo and how you put together your Designer me-made COPY.
“Why buy when you can make it yourself – better and for less money?”
HOW TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PRIZES?
- Follow my blog either by WordPress, Bloglovin, email, etc. and leave a comment that you wish to join DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER. I will share all entries on my blog in December, for community voting in January, linking back to you.
