September Sewing Challenge





 I have tried to make the challenges not too hard so that u can do the other challenges if you choose to do so.

Choose any pattern you want. Post your pattern each week. You have the whole week to finish your project. Small tokens of appreciation will be sent to random participants. At the end of the month a gift card will be sent to a random participant.

Week 1 1st - 7th
Choose 2 pattern tops ( the same or different)
a). create a dress from 1 pattern 
b)  with the other pattern add something or enhance something
Example (short to long sleeves, collar to no collar, add ruffles ot flounces, different typs of sleeve collars or shapes i think you get it. The garment should look different fron the pattern

Week 2 8th - 14th
Choose Pant pattern
a) add pocket to the pants if it does not have pocket
b) pockets have to be embellished. When adding pocket design be creative.   You can add pocket to back, front, side where ever you want but the pockets have to have some type of design to it. 
Hint (check out your stitch patterns) Sew different material on add ribbon. what ever you decided

Week 3  15th -21st
Freestyle  make any garment you want  
a). make anything you like with a base pattern for the beginners
    for seasoned sewers no pattern or you can drape
 
Week 4  22cd - 28th

The fall is near a nice cover all will do the body good. No challenges here just plain ole sewing. A jacket can be challenging within it self sometimes
