1st Challenge: Scout Tee by Grainline Studio
Everyone needs a basic tee in their wardrobe. Wear it with jeans, wear it with a causal skirt--- you always need it! Basic tees are really easy to make, usually only needing about 1 yard of fabric.
To start off our Challenge, I'm challenging our contestants to create a basic tee using the Scout Tee by Grainline Studio.
 |
| Grainline Studios offers a great selection of basic patterns for everyday wear that are fashion forward and modern. |
We will be judging on a 1-10 scale (10 being the highest) using the following criteria:
Craftsmenship - Did you put a lot of care into the construction? Top-stitching straight, careful overall construction, etc?
Creativity - Did you think outside the box and create more than just a tee using one fabric and the basic pattern with no "changes"?
Fit - Although the basic Scout Tee has a very casual look, does it fit you well? (We will take into consideration how the pattern is suppose to fit if only using the basic tee pattern.)
Presentation - While we totally understand not everyone has a professional camera and the perfect backdrop for photographing their creations, (Me included!!) you are in front of a world of other sewers! Make yourself look presentable. Submit a photo of the front, back and side view of the garment, as well as a "presentation photo" (this should be the best photo!) Detail photos are also requested so we can be better judges. So if you do some embellishing or a specific technique, zoom in and share with us!
Tell us about your top. Tell us the process. What inspired you? How will you use this in your wardrobe?
