Yes - I am going to try to SWAP again.... this time with Artisan Square sewing forum. It is 2 capsules with one item bridging the 2 capsules - a total of 11 items.
The rules are a lot more flexible than the one I tried previously and although there are a lot of items, the first stitch can be sewn on boxing day and it finishes end of April.
This is great as I have signed up for a couple of Craftsy courses and I plan to do this over the holidays so have incorporated the items into my plan.
Sew far I have sewn a toile for the Pamela's Pattern T-shirt (no pictures as it was very fine knit and needed adjustments - not a good look).
I have now made adjustment to the pattern and will sew up another toile.
With this contest you can actually cut the material before hand which is good too.
The purpose of this contest for me is to challenge myself and not to get discouraged with the wadders that will appear. The longer time frame will help with this.
Here is my plan.
Wish me luck!

You've picked some great patterns there - I can't wait to see your peplum top and the pants and cowl neck top look like great basics too! I love the whole SWAP idea, I've started my own SWAP plan lately with a list of stuff I need for my wardrobe and its so much easier to get focussed now!
ReplyDeleteYour plan looks excellent. I love the idea of the cowl neck as a "basic" t, and your fabrics are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWow. Now that you know your colours making your swap will be even more rewarding.
ReplyDeleteCowl neckline are very flattering and your fabrics are a good blend of solids and prints.
THe new SWAP rules do seem a bit easier this year -it will be interesting to see how it all goes. Your plans looks good and easily go with each other too. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your fabric choices and patterns...good luck with the project. Look forward to seeing some of the results!
ReplyDeleteThis all looks great! I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeletei really like your color choices. I will be eagerly awaiting your finished pieces.
ReplyDeleteYour SWAP plan looks great, the way you have the two collections organised seems quite functional, and your bridge, the jacket, should play well with everything in your plan. Nice storyboard too! I think that this year is going to be a great SWAP with all kinds of good inspiring clothes, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress here and over on Stitchers Guild.

ReplyDeleteOh this is a gorgeous plan. I love the chocolate and teal colours you have chosen :)
ReplyDeleteYour story board looks great. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteYou are so far ahead - I'm still planning! This looks like a great collection and your colour selection is perfect. So organised....
