ROUND 2

Hey, remember that time M.E.T and her siblings had a sew off for barbies. Well here's round 2. This time we asked around for themes and placed the ideas in a box. Then teams of two drew their fate. Thank You to the brain stormers, here are the results of your ideas.

Dance Battle Wear.
We made a two look outfit. First you have the warm up that is made of fine dupoint silk in gold. Underneath you have movable, breathable somewhat urban but cute dance wear.





Gothic Barbie
This outfit has three looks. It goes from Mild, Regular to Intense - just like Hot sauce. We created layers that adjust depending on mood. We made it out of black velvet and sheer material.





Classy Reception
This dress is made out of Navy Blue satin with white accents. It is tasteful but with a little sexy class. Doesn't everyone need and love that combination?



Costume, Forest Royalty
We made a Forest Nymph. It was supposed to be over the top and dramatic. We made a wire hoop for the skirt and a veil to add UMPH. The colors are supposed to be like forest camouflage.



Now, that you have seen the photos and read a little bit about each design, take a moment to vote. It is important we take this very seriously. The last winner got a lot of brocade fabric as a prize.

ALSO. look out for ROUND 3, April 25th Fashion Stroll. Thats right our next competition will be REAL people clothes and will be part of this season's runway for Fashion Stroll. Our theme revolves around different regions of our fine state. Ogden, Washington County, SLC Suburb and Utah County.

Man, Im just so Disconnected.

Sunday afternoons are a time of resting and playing for my siblings and myself. As of late, the playing has become more of a small competition. We have begun a weekly "Sew Off" and in these competitions we sew outfits for our models (Barbies). At the end of the challenge we then have a judging round. The only problem is that our parents are very insufficient as judges. My mother thinks they are all great and my dad only understands t-shirts and jeans. SO solve our dilemma and vote for your favorite outfit.

The Challenge "Make a outfit that describes you as a designer", (Project Runway Challenge)



Contestant #1



I wanted this outfit to be something hip as well as functional. It consists of a fitted top in turquoise and a short skirt cut in funky ways. I also made a black hoodie that matches the skirt. I also like using soft comfortable fabric.



Contestant #2

As a Designer I am very interested in geometry and creating shapes within the patterns which is the reason why I had the corset and bolero jacket create a triangle. Also I used a piece of fabric for the skirt that already had a design and sewed it to create a mirroring 90degree triangle on the front and back.



Contestant #3

For this challenge I made a modern flapper dress. It has the usual cut at the mid thigh, where the fringe begins. It is loose in the classic flapper way but I added a modern bunching along the sides. I also made tights, vest and added a head band. Altogether the outfit looks very 60's, I wanted a look that included many genres to make something modern and interesting.



Contestants #4



I like to make corsets, because I find that they accentuate any women's body. I like the colors together and I like to create a more classic look than something way crazy. It isn't something too vibrant, I like cool and relaxing colors.
