Refashion Runway: Season Two


I'm so excited to have been chosen as a contestant for season two of Refashion Runway!  Beth, a.k.a The Renegade Seamstress, is hosting the friendly sewing competition.  I followed along last time and had fun voting for my favorites.  Now, as a contestant, I'm excited and nervous!  As a side note, a few months back I made a commitment to myself to not buy anymore articles to refashion (at least for a while.)  So, that personal commitment is still in force, which means each weekly challenge is going to have to be completed with items I already have at home.  That should make it interesting!  If you'd like to sew along, the challenges are as follows:

Week One: Plaid
Week Two: Pantone 2013 Color Emerald Green
Week Three: Peplum
Week Four: Leather
Week Five: Halloween
Week Six: Winter White


Well, I better get busy!

    1. According to the Pantone website: "Pantone LLC is the world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. The PANTONE® name is known worldwide as the standard language for color communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer."

      Each year they choose a "color of the year." This year it happens to be Emerald.

  3. Thanks Susan! Obviously I'm not in on color industries! I didn't know what the company did. :-)

    Emerald, huh? I was thinking I might try to do the sew-along, but I haven't done too many refashions. I have a plaid shirt I've been wanting to make over, but nothing emerald.....

    Looking forward to seeing what you all do! Love your blog.
