Congratulations ! You have won a free mystery fabric bundle and a sewing room assortment package!
No one had to go home today because Beth from 110 Creations withdrew from the challenge.
Winner from the Flickr Page: Michelle F. is the winner of a free pattern from the Fabric Mart Sewing Pattern Collection. This was a randomly selected drawing. Please email me
(fabricmartblog{@}gmail.com) to claim your prize.
This week's challenge is one of my favorites from the 2013 Fashion Challenge -- The Mystery Bundle Challenge! Fabric Mart is known for offering mystery fabric bundles featuring beautiful silks and wools to casual knits and even linen. You never know what you're going to get!
A few weeks ago, I sent each contestant a mystery bundle. (I have to be honest, I tried to put fabrics together that would make somewhat of an outfit!) Each bundle was different though, so no one will have the same fabric. They received a total of at least 5 different fabrics.
Using the fabric bundle you received, make a two-piece garment. You must use at least 4 of the fabrics from your bundle.You may use fabric from your stash, but the fabrics from the bundle must be used in a majority of your piece.
Ready, set, go!!

5th Challenge: The Bundle Challenge
This week's challenge is one of my favorites from the 2013 Fashion Challenge -- The Mystery Bundle Challenge! Fabric Mart is known for offering mystery fabric bundles featuring beautiful silks and wools to casual knits and even linen. You never know what you're going to get!
A few weeks ago, I sent each contestant a mystery bundle. (I have to be honest, I tried to put fabrics together that would make somewhat of an outfit!) Each bundle was different though, so no one will have the same fabric. They received a total of at least 5 different fabrics.
Using the fabric bundle you received, make a two-piece garment. You must use at least 4 of the fabrics from your bundle.You may use fabric from your stash, but the fabrics from the bundle must be used in a majority of your piece.
We will be judging on a 1-10 scale (10 being the highest) using the following criteria:
Creativity - Did you thoughtfully think about and follow through with combining at least 4 fabrics into one outfit?
Craftsmanship - Did you put a lot of care into the construction? Top-stitching straight, careful overall construction, etc.
Fit - Do you the garments fit well? No unnecessary pulling in problem areas? Is it flattering to your figure?
Presentation - While we totally understand not everyone has a professional camera and the perfect backdrop for photographing their creations, (Me included!!) you are in front of a world of other sewers! Make yourself look presentable. Submit a photo of the front, back and side view of the garment, as well as a "presentation photo" (this should be the best photo!) Detail photos are also requested so we can be better judges. So if you do some embellishing or a specific technique, zoom in and share with us! (Not all photos may be used in the final blog post, but shared with the judges.)
