Why doesn't Interweave Press sponsor a challenge and then make the idea for the challenge be a contest for us?
I would like to see the concept of coture construction be part of it, not JUST, Wow Factor. I would like to see a technical score given after the judges inspected the garments themselves for construction techniques. Then combine artistic and technical scores to get the winner. I would love to see a magazine spread on that kind of contest.

Wow! I love it. I might be able to sew if I can do it by pin and baste-by-hand. I have never been able to do the machine part even though I can spin a fine thread and weave a fine cloth. I may just need "permission" to pin & baste my way through a garment.

"Bad Spellers of the World, Untie!" I don't recognize typos, so they never bother me. ;o)
