When you say "causal," do you mean that the design should include a symbol for a cause such as Breast Cancer Awareness (ie, the pink ribbon symbol) or some other well-known cause?

I think they mean casual not causal...just a couple of letters got switched is all.

 

Can I safely assume that a lining material does not count as one of the three materials to be used? And can hand knit items be used as accessories or must they be sewn also?

 

I have dropped out of the contest.

 

This looks like a great chance to make a cute winter outfit for my little Sophie!

D'oh! Of course. I don't know why I went to a complicated solution instead of a simple one. I think it was the way the word was italicized ... causal ... like they were trying to emphasize and convey some special meaning - that I wasn't getting, lol.

 

I am thinking about participating, but it depends on your definition of "casual", will I be allowed to do a high-fantasy take on the theme or will that pull down my score, I have little interest in making contemporary clothes for my dolls to be honest.

 

Begins Jan 1, ends Jan 31, winners announced Jan 15? Is that supposed to be Feb 15?

Finally done! Quite proud of the fact that I finished (^^" I'm not too good with deadlines)

Well, I tried....

Fabric 1; Polyester Stretch, used for the long-sleeved top


Fabric 2; Blended wool and acrylic (relying on mum to name the fabrics...) for the poncho


Fabric 3: Knit (with ridges) for the high waisted skirt



I have also used black polyester for the leggings, beige (with variations in colour) fur for the poncho and the boots and some black cloth (don't know what type, sorry) for the boots as well.

^^" I hope they're the right size.

And good-luck to the rest of the designers! I'm anticipating other outfits~

Sorry forgot to add a photo of the fabrics...I hope this is ok since it is a close up shot and shows the fabrics as well as the colors in natural light. Chevron plaid as the in scale pattern fabric, faux fur with fleece lining, grey knit and textured poly satin.

currently, the head is still at the faceup artist but should be back in time. As a stand-in, I would like to post the unpainted OE head which will be replaced by the painted dreaming head ASAP. I hope this is fine?

 

Sorry, I had to withdraw because I wasn't able to finish in time!

Woot~ We're starting~ I'm so excited to start sewing! Because I live in Australia, I had to wait like like half a day more for it to start XP

 

Yay!!! now to find the best fabric for what i want to do ^_^

 

But you'll get half a day more to finish, too!

 

This challenge fits really well into my sewing aspirations. I wanted to make a really cute coat for a while, I got myself a new, *functioning* sewing machine, the doll who wears contemporary casual outfits is finally here (well, the head is shipping back to me from the artist) and along comes this challenge.

The fabric for the coat I already had here, as a friend gave me a scrap of her beautiful coat fabric to me a few months ago. So when I went shopping yesterday, I tried choosing fabric suiting that one.
So this is my current fabric selection:


The piece I'm looking forward to making the most is of course the coat (black and white fabric in the lower right of the picture), but it is also the piece I'm dreading the most because I'm not quite sure yet how to draft a coat pattern, yet alone the specific one I have in mind
So right now, I started with the grey fabric. I wanted to use contrasting lighter grey thread, but right now I'm regretting it, as it is very easy to see not completely straight lines and one can only unpick so many times.

I'm very much a self-taught beginner, so with using all these differently textured fabrics and having to design three + one pieces, I'm sure I will learn a lot!

 

I hear ya on that one. I've been meaning to make some winter/cold weather appropriate clothing for quite a few of my dolls, maybe this will get me motivated. Though Zhara didn't really need anything, I just have a neat idea for some contrasting fabrics and colors that will look good on her. Can't wait to have some spare time to get started..hopefully this weekend. Shoes will be interesting indeed for her since she has fantasy claw feet, but I have the perfect idea..teehee.

 

clawed feet? Sounds like an additional challenge but now you have me intrigued as to what your solution will be!

 

Here are the textures I have chosen!

Plether; Navy Blue


Stretchy Spandex; Tan, Mustard


Flannel; Navy Blue, Mustard, Royal Purple, and some other colours


Acrylic Wool; Creamy white


Yep.
I already finished one peice of clothing, I was thinking about posting it, but I think I'll wait. o 3o.

*Edit* I just realized my photos are awful. They colours are all off and stuff. So.... yeah ._.
I take better pictures later....

 

Here are my fabrics. The top photo is printed silk for the shirt and a coordinating pin-wale corduroy for the slacks.
The lower photo is the vinyl for the imitation leather jacket and the bouclé knit for the lining; it is a slightly brighter shade than the corduroy but should blend being inside the jacket.
The colors in the lower photo are more true than the top; I couldn't get the flash adjusted quite right.

 

from left to right, grey suiting material for peacoat, green satin for coat lining, grey stripe for shirt, green plaid for skirt and grey knitty stuff for stirrup leggings. dunno what im going to use for scarf, mittens and hat, but faux fur or marabou feather pompoms for hat and mittens.

 

@Blue Oracle - I just had to comment - That green you have on the right that's plaid - I made myself some pajama pants and matching ones for my dolls last year XD It's really warm and comfy! Mourning will love it!

 

Wow, you guys are off to a good start! I purchased two of my fabrics today on ebay, so they should be here soon.
Does anyone know if wool and denim in the same texture family?

 

That is helpful, thanks!
Well I may edit it a bit, but here is my general design.

 

hehe...glad it will keep mourning toasty, thanks for letting me know! matching PJ pants = awesome idea!

 

Ready to dig through my mounds of fabric straps and old clothes to see what I can come up with for this challenge, have already done a few sketches, but I think I need to figure out the fabrics first and then I'll be able to get a better sketch together.

 

I found two great fabrics with amazing textures! One's a beigey knit with ridges going across (pictures will be up soon!) I planned that for the high waisted skirt and the other one is a crisscrossing type of grey fabric (don't know what type XP) which will be suitable for the poncho. I'm also planning to make a jumper out of the print fabric (I still need to pick the fabric out -.-) and black leggings as an accessory ^^

 

I have a design idea together. I just need to get all my fabrics together. I will try to add pictures of the things I have together tonight or tomorrow.

Edit: Here's the designs. I'm still looking for the right fabrics. :/

 

After what seemed like all day digging through my fabric containers...I couldn't find anything that went well together, and no good knits that I was kinda hoping to have..sigh..I found like 2 great fabrics to use but then I couldn't find anything I have to match either of them..lol. so looks like I may need to take a trip to the fabric store.

 

The sketches and fabric choices are looking great!

 

My doll arrived after dark, I hope to be able to get a photo up tomorrow. He needs clothes, so that's why I wanted to use him for this challenge. He can use some winter casual stuff!

I can't draw, but I'm planning a pair of loose, flowing pants in woven linen, a cotton jersey knit T-shirt of some sort and a handknit wool cardigan with kimono-inspired styling. I haven't quite worked out the color scheme, it will depend on what fabrics and yarn I can find in my stash because I'm determined not to buy any additional supplies right now. At the moment I'm swatching yarns to see what will work best for the cardigan.
