I'm the contest manager for the Pattern Review Lined Jacket Contest that runs from October 1-October 31, 2013. Even though I'm ineligible to win (so sad) I still plan to enter and make a lined jacket. I hope some of y'all decide to enter, as well, and we'll have some fun with it!
I've finally ordered the Sewaholic Minoru jacket and plan to make that during the month of the contest. I've seen SO many adorable versions of this jacket and can't wait to put my twist on it. I'm making the version without the hood:
I simply love Tasia's version of her own pattern:
I've ordered a cream and rust toile cotton twill from Mood for my jacket. I hope it's as lovely upon arrival as it is on their site:
Actually, I've had really good luck ordering fabric online. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with anything I've ordered. (I know, I know...typical comment from an addict.)
I hope some of you get inspired to enter the Lined Jacket Contest! Complete details and contest rules are on the link above. Join me!
LOL! Could say that to, just like us hoarders!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute coat, very modern. That print will be a totally new twist, LOVE it!
PS, just got my first order from them, not bad.
Becki, I hope you will enter the contest. Make one of your Marfy marvels!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'd love to enter, but we'll see!! I also have the Minoru but haven't yet attempted it. It's very nice of you to manage a contest!
ReplyDeleteCome on, Shams, it will be more fun with your creative juices. Nice? Hmmm...I had completely forgotten I volunteered for that it was so long ago...lol At the time it seemed like a good idea! It should be fun, though.
DeleteI am quite busy with the FabricMart challenge, but if I have time, I will seriously consider it!!
DeleteThere's a FabricMart challenge?? How do I not know these things!
DeleteWhat fun! You'll be great as contest manager. I'm joining in, just have to decide what to make!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Coco! I'm so glad you'll be joining. Registration is all set up on PR. Whatever you make will be adorable so put that thinking cap on!
DeleteSounds like fun! Your jacket is going to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Roz! I'm excited to try one of Sewaholic's patterns. Everyone really seems to like them.
DeleteI'm in! This will be my first lined jacket so I'm grateful for the handholding of a sew along. That toile is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNot as gorgeous as your silk. I predict you win. I wonder if I'm eligible to vote??
DeleteReally interesting fabric choice. I'll look forward to seeing the completed garment.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gail. From what I've seen there should be some really great entries. Wish you would join in!
DeleteHow fun! I have three jackets in my sewing queue...should I join? Depends on time and horse training. Next year my new "guy" will be more dependable.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mary! By all means join! You have a whole month to make one garment and it will be fun doing it with us. Julie Starr has entered and I think PattyE plans to. It will be fun. Do it!
DeleteI think I´ll pass this time. Too much to sew for my growing kids. I had my eye on the Minoru pattern, but not yet ordered it. With that fabric you ordered I know it is going to be a complete success!
