Teronia and Sara are here to share their take on the Polka Dot trend that has been visible on the 2014 runway. The polka dot craze doesn't stick to one scale or color - have fun and play with it. You can go full on DOT, or use polka dots to accent an outfit. You can also use polka dots to cover up or show it off.... seriously, read though both reviews, they are amazing!
Read MoreThat is right - it is the FINAL week of team Becca & Suzanne competing in the Skirt Fixation Challenge Create: Adult Edition. We hope you have enjoyed following us in this competition - we sure have had fun sewing! (And now, I for one, am ready to not cut an adult sized pattern for quite a while!)
Read MoreBecca and I loved that this week was a 'hint' of vintage - we made ourselves the promise when we entered this competition that we would only make things that we would 100% wear in our daily lives. That can be hard when you have a costumer and a vintage category - my brain starts churning over what is period appropriate and whether I should also create period undergarments to be consistent with the time, and on, and on, and ooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn. Thankfully there was that little word 'hint' to help Becca and I keep our promise to ourselves and make my brain relax enough to sew this look up with three kids underfoot.
Read MoreSo here we are in week two: Refashioning. For me this was a WOHOOOO theme, for Becca it was more of an OhNoooooo. Most of what I make includes some form of upcycling or refashioning, I built my personal blog around the idea that I could sew my children's wardrobes and save my family some dough. My personal stash of fabric is made of 90% clothing, sheets, and drapes that have been given to be in garbage bags from friends and family. I use this stash to mine for not only fabric, but buttons, zippers, and other notions. Now Becca on the other hand has only tired a few refashioning projects, and in an effort to clean out her house, got rid of 5 bags of old clothes right before we found out we would be competing in this competition... wah-wah-wah.

*We are the first circle to click in the poll at the bottom of the post (Becca&Suzanne of Pattern Revolution)*
So we were only allowed 5 images and 600 words over at Skirt Fixation - and you can imagine how that was no where near enough for two blabbermouth photographers like Becca and I!!! We wanted to show off and explain some of our choices in greater detail.
