New Challenge – Dress the Part! Winners Announced

May starts, what I call, the “party season”. Graduation parties and wedding festivities are forefront on the invitation lists, then we move into garden parties, yacht club parties, fashion shows, … and so much more. Please tell me you are like me – scrambling at the last hour for something fun and fashionable, then wishing I would have taken the time to sew something new ( just because I design and sew for a living doesn’t mean the closet is full – have you ever heard of the shoe-maker with no shoes J) Not saying my closet is not full, it’s full of business and casual wear. When it comes to party attire, the closet could use some MAJOR improvement.

The challenge for May is to plan ahead and add some party attire to the wardrobe. Parties don’t always require cocktail dresses and fun skirts (although that is what I am going to focus on), maybe a simple pair of silk pants with a sequin top. This is exactly why I am calling the challenge Dress the Part.

Here is the rundown of prizes for May and Thanks again to our sponsors!  Brother, WAWAK Sewing, Threads and Sew Stylish Magazine, It’s Sew Easy TV, and ABO APPAREL.

The challenge again is on Pinterest and Flickr (Click here if you are new to the challenge).

• Best overall outfit on Flickr will win 1 year membership to Threads Insider Membership
• Best Couture embellished outfit will win $50 Gift Card to WAWAK sewing
• One Special Pick of Choice wins: One Pattern, Many Ways Vol. 1 DVD from Threads Magazine
• Random drawing from all the flickr participants for the month – It’s Sew Easy Season 5 DVD

Pinterest is such a great place to share ideas, meet people who have a common interest, and look for inspiration. The reason for Pinterest being part of the challenge, is that you can go the wardrobe challenge board, not only follow other people with the same interest, but when you search for #wardrobechallenge – you will see what inspires others. There is no right or wrong wardrobe challenge board, as long as you follow the simple guidelines below (which is why the pinterest boards are now random drawing).

Random drawing from the Pinterest board (must follow every Pinterest item below to qualify):

• A surprise gift package from Coats
• Angela Wolf’s online class on PatternReview.com The Contemporary Couture Jacket
