Stitcher's Guild Reloaded

Good to hear from you, @sharonspils . Your dress was so fabulous, I was really interested in what was to come. Sorry to hear you did not get around sewing much, I do hope whatever life threw your way was not bad!

Hi Everyone,  I've fallen off the radar again.  April and May is the busiest time of the year for me and really wish I had a bit more time to keep up with all the happenings on SWAP.

Absolutely loved looking at the gallery.  Stunning work! 

 

Well as you have probably figured out life did get in the way big time and my sewing time has been very hit and miss.  I did finish a lemon t-shirt and a pair of shorts but 3 garments just won't make it.

I am so impressed with everyone's output and there are some amazing pieces.  Now off to check out the gallery, I don't expect it to be easy to select only 3 winners.

Oh wow voting is going to be so difficult, all SWAPS are amazing and deserve to win.  Now to take some time and review again.

I finally  had to look at who I thought made best use of the inspiration item...could I tell looking at the wardrobe and looking at the inspiration piece that they went together?  Purely subjective, I'm afraid, but the wardrobes were all so well done that I had to go to that level...good job, everyone!

So now I have to pair the garments with a regular longsleeved tshirt I sewed up from the rest of the pink fabric.

I love that pink polo shirt too, Morzel!!!

That sounds like my mother and I!  Funnily enough, she's the one who taught me to sew, but now rarely does.

That's more or less what I did when I could not decide between the last 5 collections. On the one hand I am sorry, as this way two collections that I rank equally get left out (and believe me, they all were just a tiny bit in personal ranking above the rest of the collections), on the other hand it really shows how absolutely wonderful the collcections are. ALL of them! 

Eva, Was just reviewing the galleries and thought the same thing! I love elements of each of the collections and each has its own personality. Am still away from home and so will vote this week. Am wondering how I am going to do this. I might have to put them in a hat and rank them that way.
