There was a lot of confusion for some of the designers. Overall, the challenge was fun to watch. I especially enjoyed Anthony's comments. He's funny...to me. He lightens up the workroom.
I actually liked Amy's colors & design, but I've always gone for ....different. :)

I love them, you're very talented

I thought he was a great designer. I loved his designs...too sad, that, his soul was tortured.

They're ba-a-a-ack! I think that this first show beat the whole last season, in interest & creativity. I hope the rest are as good, I think they won't disappoint.
The designers are interesting, and the designs are too.
I loved the Emilo Sosa outfit, ....glad that one won. The outfit by Seth was a good one too. There were others that were appealing, but just needed some tweaking,in my opinion.

I....AM...going to make myself a wardrobe from my stash! I...AM...going to make myself a wardrobe from my stash! I..AM..going to make myself a wardrobe from my stash! I..MUST..make myself a wardrobe from my stash! I have stacks of beautiful fabrics and towers of patterns.!!!!
I've learned over & over that, "procrastination IS the thief of time".

My first "real" project was the obligitory, apron in Home Ec. class. It really was ugly. I picked out some pink cotton fabric(1st mistake), and red rickrack.(we had to use it for a decorative element.) I got a "C" on it, because I didn't baste first(someone else mentioned the basting). To this day, I hate to baste first...I usually, try ironing the "dickens" out of the fabric, if possible. Machine basting was one of the first stitches that I utilized, when I got an up to date machine. Before that disasterous project, I used to hand sew clothes for my dollhouse dolls. ;)

I think that this season's PR is Blah. Will there be a "next" season? I'm just really disappointed with one of my favorite shows. This season has shown styles that have already been done. There were a few diversions, but overall...BORING. I keep hoping the next episode will be better and No-o-o, the same old bickering and drama. No fab. designing. Again, I think Gordana would have designed the best collection, followed by Carol.
I wonder if Micheal Kors, feels the show has not lived up to past seasons. He's been absent a lot this season.

I was thinking that Carol Hannah was having anxiety attacks. That's what I do (pray to the porcelain throne) when I get them. Anyway, I hope her collection shows as well as what she showed during her visit with Tim. I liked how hers was going the best.

Great tip, never thought of doing that. Seems like it would work great with a lot of patterns that are made with panels too. Like Kayla Kennington patterns.

Good tip, I used to do that back in the late 50's, early 60's. and it works. Now hang on to those incandescent bulbs, I don't think it would work as well with the new eco bulbs...never tried those, though.

Anglo-mania, by Very Prarie, was my choice. They were all good, but that one struck me the most

Looks, like a great book and I need all of the help that I can get, since, I'm one of those "self taught" seamstresses.:)

I agree with all of the comments, so far. I'm finding the whole show lacking in enthusiasm. None of the contestants seem to really, really want to win...they're all so low key. Even the judges seem like they're just there....bored with the whole thing.
Irina's dress reminded me of a nightgown that I saw in a "Fredricks of Hollywood" catalog, back in the day. Gordana & Louise....????what were they thinking? Surely not, Hollywood, movies, action!
This show seems to have been affected by the move to Cali'. Tim seems worried about the lack of talent or enthusiasm, too.
I hope Micheal Kors return will add some spark & light a fire under everyone. I figured that he must've been at fashion week.
Here's hoping!

I love it too. I hope that you'll post instructions, I'd love to make it for Christmas for my needlearts guild at church.

A "Briar Patch" is a special, tranquil space for someone & a place to avoid, for those that didn't know what a special place it was. It was a place that "Brer Rabbit" went to escape, in a very old book, titled "Tales of Uncle Remus".
