This is going to be a LOOONG post! This year, I’m so pleased at the number, and the variety, of prize donations that have been offered up by our DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER 2018 PRIZE SPONSORS! I must admit this is my favourite post of the year – these PRIZE SPONSORS just brighten up my blog!
No more delay – our DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER 2018 PRIZE SPONSORS in alphabetical order. (Check out their websites too – click on their names – browse around, pick out the prize you want to win!)
Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!

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! If you have to alter a pattern that you already have, or draft your own pattern, you can do that too. Whatever works for you. Let’s make what we see and want! (Remember Vintage Designer fashion is allowed too!) Good luck in your search! 😁👍
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?”

Thanks Emma! Are you joining us again this year?
My machine is tucked away at the minute whilst we have the house done but I’m going to try to. I’ve been looking for inspiration this evening!
Oh good luck on having the house done! And good luck in your search! Find something you REALLY REALLY WANT!
Yep. That’s the plan. ☺
Yay I’ve found my design and planned my make! Amazing array of sponsors Linda!
That’s great Sue! I am puzzling over the size and fit of my trousers. I may learn a lot with this make! Thank you for joining in again! It’s always nice to see new Challengers and see the previous come back! ❤️
