Challenge theme for the 2013 Reunion!

Have you tried guessing what the reunion theme might be?

It was inspired by a Sew Weekly theme from March 2012- The Pantone Challenge!  With this theme, we hope that it will help all our stash busting efforts. I’ve reached the stage of fabric accumulation where I would soon run out of walking or sewing space. But, with the range of colors below, I’m almost certain  that most of us would have at least one suitable fabric in our stash for this theme. And off course, you can choose to use one, a few or all the hues in your project. The possibilities are endless!

Here it is! Our theme for the inaugural TSW Reunion is the Pantone Fashion Colors of Fall 2013! There are vibrant and neutral tones to choose from. Love so many of the happy colors here!

Pantone provided some tips on mixing the hues here if you are interested and I hope these fall 2013 RTW Runway shots will inspire you as such as they’ve inspired me.

With the pantone challenge, we thought it would be appropriate to select a project for the best use of colors at the end of the reveal. The winner stands to win 3 yards of this dandelion silk chiffon fabric. Isn’t this simple print lovely?

For ladies who are participating in the patterns & notions swap, we’d love it if you use any of the patterns or notions received from your swap partner for your garment.  This is not compulsory but if you do use the swap items, you stand a chance of winning the exclusive range of buttons below (more than 100 buttons in total!!!). I don’t know about you but I LOVE cute buttons with a retro feel!  Just staring at them puts me on cloud nine! A gentle reminder to mail those patterns/ notions packages out by tomorrow:)

Can’t wait to see ALL your creations!

Remember to send your photos and links by Sunday, 1 September 2013 to thesewweeklyreunion@gmail.com
