Rules for SWAP 2019 (Stitchers Guild)

 2019 Seasonal Designer Collection II SWAP Rules

You are still the Designer. Create a cohesive seasonal collection of eleven garments of your choice.

Plan:

Choose an inspiration piece of your choice -- Could be a scarf, artwork, fabric print, photograph, etc.

Choose two neutrals that coordinate with your inspiration piece

Add 1-5 accents and/or prints that will work with your inspiration piece (ie: not clash)

Make 9 garments that form your core

You must create multiple outfits using at least two core garment items that work for your personal style.

Make 2 wild card pieces that can be worn alone or with other core items or with other wardrobe

items

Wild card pieces should still blend in with inspiration piece

Combining fabrics is fine

No restrictions on type of garments

Rules

Sewing begins on 26 December 2018 and ends 30 April 2019

One garment may be completed by today (28 October 2018)

One garment may be started on 29 October 2018 and completed prior to 26 December 2018

One RTW garment may be included (it can be existing or purchased at any time before or during the SWAP)

Garments knitted, crocheted or woven by you may be included (limit of two since we are a sewing site)

Garments such as poncho, cape or wrap must include at least two pattern pieces, be one of your knitted, crocheted or woven items or have stitch work done by you to be considered a garment

Neutrals do not need to be the same fabrics

Neutrals may be textured

Note that accents fabric must be the same (so not two different fabrics of the same accent colour)

You will need a photo of your inspiration piece

Addendum: If you make your own inspiration piece it must be completed, photographed and posted prior to 26 December 2018

Prize

I will award a $25 gift certificate to an online fabric store (of winners choice) that allows gift

certificates

Other

I suggest photographing outfits as items are completed. Judging/photo rules will be the posted at a later date but they will be the same as last year. Muslins, pattern fitting, cutting, interfacing, and other preparatory work may begin right away. As usual, individual threads are optional but all comments should go to the main thread.
