November dawns

November dawns and for the next two weeks I am going to try to mentally park the SWAP and instead do the PR Challenge Contest: One Pattern Wardrobe which lasts from November 1st to 14th, 2010.

I decided to make a dress (lengthened top), top and skirt from this pattern (New Look 6735) as my starting point. If I have time I might add the jacket as well. I had other plans beyond that but they might just morph off into the Pattern Review Endless Wardrobe contest which follows on straight after becuase actually 2 weeks is not very long and I'm away a couple of days a week both weeks.

PR Challenge Contest: One Pattern Wardrobe

You may recall I had a mad scheme at one point called Wardrobe in A Week, which I ran as a sew along on Stitchers Guild. 
On similar lines Pattern review have a contest starting on Monday as follows:-

Pattern Review Challenge Contest: One Pattern Wardrobe
November 1 through 14, 2010

Select one pattern and make a miniature wardrobe out of it. You must make at least 3 items that combine to make 2 complete and different outfits. All items must be made using the same pattern.

Examples: 2 tops & 1 bottom; 1 top & 2 bottoms; 1 top & 1 bottom & 1 dress

All work on the items must be done within the Challenge Contest 2-week interval. Patterns can be ones previously used, and fabric can be pre-treated before the contest starts. If a dress is made, it should co-ordinate with the other 2 items made, but does not need to be worn with them.

That whirring noise you can hear is my brain madly thinking, thinking because despite a crazy work schedule you know I have to do this right?
No cutting out in advance though I guess I can choose fabric. This might be the ideal opportunity to make the black and spring green pieces I have planned for winter, or at least use this to start a new capsule off.
