I finished third and wow, what fun it was to participate in the Fabric Mart Fabricista challenge! I ended up with three garments I am VERY proud of and LOVE wearing! I also win a gift certificate! My goal was to make it to the top five and I surpassed that so everything else was gravy!
Here is a recap of what I made!
Round 1--the Scout Woven Tee
Round 2--all about the fit!
Round 3--Ready to wear knock off!
Round 4 The Little Red Dress!
Round 5--the mystery bundle challenge!
Round 5--Inspired by art!
Wow, do I love everything I made!
I learned a lot from participating least of which is to make a muslin if you want a great result!
I can't tell you how many times I skip this step out of sheer laziness!
Think, think, think about the fabrics you choose for your garments.
I typically do this until I drive myself nuts, but the right fabric for the right pattern is essential.
This is something I will do in the future and that is to try and add a little pizazz to each garment I make--something unexpected, like a super fun lining, just something!
If I met you through this challenge, I feel doubly blessed!
If you hung with me throughout--a huge thank you!
Again, thanks for reading!
Sue :)
