Are you guys as excited as I am to see everyone else’s projects? It’s been such fun seeing everyone’s copycats and getting inspired myself. My to-do list has grown about a foot just seeing everyone’s projects!
A huuuuge thanks and transatlantic hugs to Erin of I<3Fabric for helping me host this thing. This has been so much fun! I can’t believe you did this all while in the midst of planning and attending your wedding! (Go check out her wedding dress that she designed, it’s gorgey!)
Also thanks a bajillion to everyone who participated!! We could never do this without you guys and I get all kinds of warm fuzzies seeing so many seamstresses who are as passionate about sewing from inspiration garments as I am! I definitely hope to do this again!
Finally, giant hugs and thanks to Mood Fabrics, Spotlight and BurdaStyle for helping with our prizes for this challenge. Your support is greatly appreciated to all of us in the sewing community and with your generosity challenges like this are even more exciting to enter and be part of!!
Without further ado, here are all of the entries of the Copycat Challenge!
