It's the moment you've all be waiting for...announcement of the Fashion Challenge contestants! We had 20 people submit applications to the fashion challenge. And to only pick six people was so HARD! We took a look at their work, their blogs and why they felt they would be a good candidate for the challenge. After about 2 days of reviewing we finally came to an agreement and here they are! (in alphabetical order)

Chui from Wear the Ducky Tie




Dawn from Two On, Two Off



Donna from Curvy Girls are Chic



Elizabeth from I Sew, You Sew



Kristin from Sunny Sewing



Tiffany from Frougie Fashionista



The Fashion Challenge will begin on September 11, so mark your calendars! I'm really excited to see what these sewers come up with for each challenge. It's always mind blowing!!

Don't forget, you can participate too! Share your finished creation on social media (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram) using #fabricistafashionchallengereader. We'll post your photo on the blog to share with everyone else. We will choose one winner each week to win a prize! (Only open to citizens of the US and Canada for shipping purposes.)

See you in September!

Made By A Fabricista: Turning the Page

By
We had a lovely, warm September in central New Jersey but as of last week, fall has finally started to set in. While I’m no longer operating on a school calendar, I always look forward to the return of fall, the crisp air, the colorful leaves, and the opportunity to “turn over a new leaf.” While exploring the Fabric Mart website, browsing all their gorgeous cottons, I was incredibly inspired by the Eggshell/Black 100% Cotton Horizontal Stripe Weave Lawn .
