I think you really have something there! I love it. Is it lined or unlined.

I have decided to try the mini quilt templetes. They have inspired me to sew a little. Maybe this will give me a little confidence in my hobby again. They would look good in so many applicatons. If I finish my project, I will share it with you!

I am new to blogs. I'm sorry, but I hate to reconstruct any clothing. I helped when I was young in my aunt's tailor shop. We replaced zippers, linings, and pockets to name a few. I don't think I would care to try anything like that again. What do you use the costumes for? Plays, are you members of a guild? Thanks.

With this challenge, one design element became a little clearer to me. I believe that proportion or rather the lack of it may be an issue for the contestants. Although I think that they are all good at what they are doing, I consider their knowledge of proportion within design to be a factor for them to concentrate on in the future. This was not as obvious with the high fashion models. When I look back to the earlier episodes, I can remember when I thought that they could improve the overall pulled together appearance of their garments. I didn’t associate this with proportion at that time. As I had mentioned previously, the designers seem good, competitive and making very fashionable garments in this season’s show.

Pattern 2758 does not lend itself to a size 1x and up. Forming a waist is appealing nice in any size, but accentuating over sized hips as well and at the same time does not appeal to most people.

Good idea, Cocopassion.

Design Differences

I believe that the darker palette shows the design differences to their best advantage. If you can design something uniquely beautiful in black then you will find a happy client. I personally believe though that in actual life scenarios that flattering the wearer's appearance comes first. Thinking of the place or circumstances of your environment are necessary to achieve this happy harmony, and should be thought of in second place. I admit that I am not sure whom they (the designers) are designing for at the time of the show. Are they merely designing for the judges at this time? Who are the judges designing their critiques for at this time? Creating a fashion show that attracts buyers will involve more than what I have seen. I suppose I shall wait and see how the show rounds out before surrendering my decision on what I consider to be a winning outfit or a winning designer.

I am a novice person with the serging machine. The winning book would be a great help to me. I was happy to see the extensive collection at Tauton Press, Inc., when I became a member of Threads. I am considering a couple of machine purchases, but I would like some advice prior to deciding on what machine to purchase. I want to win the contest by changing my avatar, and receive the book, Successful Serging by Beth Baumgartel as a prize. Good luck to me.
