Runway Deconstructed: #ChallengeCreate Vintage Entry, Explained

April 18, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

Becca 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.

Runway Deconstructed: #ChallengeCreate Refashion Entry, Explained

April 11, 2014/ Suzanne Winter

So 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.
