2010 Folkwear Design Challenge

The wonderful people at Folkwear have invited us to participate in a design challenge. There's nothing like a good 'ole challenge to get those creative juices flowing!

The challenge is to make one or more of the patterns listed below in an innovative way. Feel free to experiment with technique and put a new spin on one of their existing patterns. Send Folkwear a JPEG photo of your finished garment(s) by the end of this year to enter the challenge. Five winners will be chosen and each will win US$100.

Design Challenge pattern options:
#104 Egyptian Shirt–the maker's choice of shirt or traditional full-length galabia.
#126 Vests of Greece and Poland–the maker's choice of vest.
#242 Rodeo Cowgirl Jacket–the maker's choice of yoke and pocket version.
#266 Greek Island Dress–the dress plus maker's choice of tunic or jacket.

For more information and some tips on entering the challenge, visit Folkwear's news page.

Oh, and if you send us the photos as well, we would be happy to showcase your creation. We all deserve a bit of "look at me" occasionally!!
