So, as I understand it - we are selecting a designer's piece that inspires us & we make our own original piece from this inspiration or..... do we have to use a commercial pattern as inspiration & create our original design? Perhaps either option is available?
Hi Sewsuz-
Either option is fine! Just be sure to include the photo of your inspiration and describe how you made it. Good luck!
