Before the end of the year I have a couple of things I would like to make, including a wedding dress for my sister's wedding in France (don't panic, it will be a very simple dress and shouldn't take too long at all!), but I want to get started on my Show entry sooner rather than later.
Last year I entered in the Non Professional (less than two years experience) 'Any article of hand or machine sewing', and I think since this is only my second year entering I will stay in that category.
But the delima is: do I design something myself, or go with a pattern?
One pattern I did have in mind is a replica of Scarlett O'Hara's red dress -
Which I would make in blue so I could wear it myself.
But is that too much?
It's not as though the prize is a lot of money or anything. It's mainly just ribbons unless I win the Grand Champion award which is $500. Last year some ugly ass outfit won. Very strange!
Wow, that's very ambitious and generous of you; Good on you! I kind of think you should invent your own pattern.. Invent? "Design" might be more appropriate word but you know what I mean. We can have another girlie craft afternoon with a bottle of bubbly and you can make some sketches. We miss you at work.
