  1. My favorite challenge is the repurposing challenge. Seeing so many ideas really had me looking at quality fabrics in clothing that I no longer wear in a new way. When experiences change you in a positive way what more can you ask for in a challenge.

  12. I have a lot of favorite themes but I love the Repurposing, White Sheet, Winter Wonderland, and Inspired by Art themes the best. I also like the idea of an 'Inspired by Literature' theme and I'd like to add a couple of other ideas: Nautical, Sea Shore, Under the Sea, In the Garden.

  14. I liked the candy one, it was so fun!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I enjoyed the repurposing challenge. It's always great to have inspiration to bring life to those old clothes in your closet. I also enjoy seeing the remixes. I have a hard time thinking outside the box when I have a pattern in front of me, so it's always nice to see what others can create.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I like white sheet, boys week, and art inspired. Do I get kicked out of the drawing if I choose three instead of one? If so, I choose white sheet, with its endless possibilities!
    with love,

  41. It is hard to choose! I LOVED the Art inspired challenge, but this one we just did (Winter inspired) is pretty up there on my list. I like the broadness of the subject and seeing how everyone had their own interpretation of it.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Art inspired week has been my favorite, and not just because I won the sew along. I loved so many looks created that week! I have started looking towards art for sewing inspiration more and more. I agree with what someone else said, we should totally have a literature inspired week sometime. Like No Big Dill's Once Upon a Thread series.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm torn between Refashion, Inspired by Art, or the Shirt Challenge

    ReplyDelete

  57. love the repurposing! though I like the boy one for inspiration as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. It's not very creative, but I like the "my style" category. Even after all these seasons, I'm not sure what that would be for me. It's great to see all those designers discover themselves that way.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I love seeing the my style one too. It's fun to see what everyone likes.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love the signature look week, always. It's fun to see the looks and say, yep, that's them!

    ReplyDelete
  61. That's hard....I would have to say my favorite has been the art challenge. I had a full on lesson with my kids where we learned about the different artists and when we chose Picasso for our look, they all learned how to draw and color pictures in his style and I absolutely loved it! Aevarie was very proud of her Picasso dress and seeing her so confident and proud made it one of my favorite outfits I've made!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I LOVED the Inspired by art. Such creativity and thought went into those. Of course they're always fantastic!

  79. I like the ones from an era--40s, 50s, whatever. Those are so fun to see made into kids' clothes :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. I definitely always love the remix theme. But that's my favorite to do anyway hehe. So I would also say the inspired by art theme. It was really fun trying to narrow that one down. Also I have to agree than an inspired by literature theme would be AMAZING.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Of the themes that I sewed along with, I loved the pattern remix, but as a looky-lou I was amazed by the "inspired by art" theme!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I loved the "Let's go to the Movies" challenge!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I liked the Winter Wonderland and White Sheet challenges

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  85. I just started following the contest so week one's Winter Wonderland theme is my all. time. favorite! ;) Thanks for this incredible opportunity!! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Inspired by art. Although I do have to admit that I was inspired by the Repurposing. Love your challenges, someday I will be organized enough and have enough time to enter. Your contestants are amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  90. The white sheet - in my opinion it requires so much more creativity, and the results are doubly inspiring for that reason!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I loved the white sheet challenge. This was the challenge that I found Project Run and Play, and have loved it ever since. It was so amazing to me the things the designers did with a white sheet, it helped me start to think outside the box a little more when I sewed.

    ReplyDelete
  98. My favorite was from the All Star season, "It's all in the Details." I have always thought the that best part about sewing is putting in the details that you can't buy in ready to wear so it was fun to get some new ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I'm stuck between three: Men's Dress Shirt, All in the Details, and Signature Style. I really like seeing the re-purposing aspect and how creative people can be. I'm also a very detailed person and love love love seeing all the little nuances that go into designs. But I also really look forward to the Signature Style week as that is when personalities seem to shine brightest.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I loved the white sheet challenge, but any of the repurpose challenges are great!

It seems like a huge test of creativity and is just awesomesauce :) I do really truly love the upcycle challenges as well though...that is so close to home and something that I started following PR&P for; for inspiration for upcycling/refashioning clothes for my children.

    ReplyDelete
  111. the candy one was a huge favorite of mine!

    ReplyDelete
  112. I've really enjoyed the signature style theme.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I love the remixes and the best was the Junebug dress remix, mainly because of the beautiful rainbow "every colour in the box" dress that Danielle Wilson designed. That dress is still imprinted on my brain, actually everything Danielle did in that season was amazing. Nothing (for me) has beaten that dress yet.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I like the white sheet challenge, the re-purposing, and the decades.

  120. I love the remix challenges! And also the upcycle challenges even though those seem a little harder to judge.

  132. Definitely repurposing - I think so many of us cut up our old clothes into stuff for the small people that it feels familiar! I do also like signature style, it's where we really vote on the designers true approach...

  135. I loved to sew along so many of this contest themes, it is hard to pick just one...
    I think I would have to choose "It’s All in the Details", but only because my 3dpleats where selected as the sew along winner.
    I also have to tell you I struggle every time I have to deal with last weeks' theme: "Signature Look"!

    ReplyDelete
  136. There are so many great themes to choose from! I can't pick just one favorite, but I did love the men's dress shirt challenge!

    ReplyDelete
  137. Hmmmmm, that's tough! I think the White Sheet Challenge. I loved seeing how everyone took a blank canvas and completely changed it!

    ReplyDelete
  138. I love the signature look. Watching a designer you can usually tell from how they spin a challenge what is "them" but when given free reign it's great to see what they come up with!

    ReplyDelete
  139. I really liked the white sheet challenge. All the designers went way further out of the box than I was thinking, and I was pretty impressed.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I think repurposing is my favorite challenge. It's something I try to do a lot of, and it's fun to be inspired by the creative ways everyone else reuses old clothes items.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I can't choose a favorite because they are all so creative.

    ReplyDelete
  142. I loved the art inspired challenge, it was so neat to see what everyone came up with :)
