Answer the question below to enter the giveaway and for a second chance to win, answer the question on the mahlicadesigns blog too. The winner will be announced December 19th. a Rafflecopter giveaway Head on over to mahlicadesigns for more pics and to see all the good stuff!  With the Creative Pattern Challenge well underway (did you enter the giveaway yet?), I decided to do my own modifications to a Blue Dot Pattern. With inspiration from the bloggers in the challenge and Melissa's ideas for Dover, I set out to make a Dover for the cooler weather.
I made the welt pockets large enough to hold my iPhone and keys and added 1" covered buttons for a little more retro.   I showed the coat to my mom and she told me about a green coat she had received as a gift from her mom many years ago. She said it was almost the same and she used to wear it with gloves. I wish she had saved it! It makes me wonder what I should save. I, like so many other sewers, get attached to the pieces I work so hard on and the fabrics I use to make them. For practicality sake, I can't save everything especially when I no longer wear them, but I have to admit it's silly how hard it is for me to place some things in the "giveaway" pile.
I'd love to know....what do you save? Do you keep the things you worked the hardest on or the pieces you wore to shreds or the tiny garments you made for your little one?  It's finally here! The weekly Blue Dot Patterns Creative Sewing Challenge hosted by Melissa at mahlicadesigns has officially begun. Every week for the next 3 weeks, she will be posting the unbelievable makes from a selection of our creative participants. And to celebrate, all patterns are 40% off at the Blue Dot website and also in the Etsy store. AND for even better news.... you can enter to win a pattern in our giveaway!  You cannot imagine how exciting it is as the designer to see what these bloggers have done with the patterns. This week Michelle from Thatblackchic and Shannon from Shanniloves.com both sewed up The Margo Blouse and Amy from Thatssewamy made The Georgia Top.
