Please, Boss me around!

http://themonthlystitch.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/announcing-the-march-challenge/


The Monthly Stitch challenge for March is called 'Miss Bossy Patterns' and I couldn't be more thrilled with this challenge.

During the month of March, which happens to be my birthday month, I will have to sew a pattern from my stash that I haven't used before, and the best part is, you can decide which pattern it will be.

So, without further ado, the nominees for Miss Bossy Patterns 2014 are:

Vogue 8727



Made up in this beautiful birdy fabric that I have been saving since my London trip during the summer of 2012




McCall's 5974 - out of print
The Perfect Knit Dress, according to McCall's

Made up in this out of this world pink/purple (my husband says I'm colourblind...) shiny knit, scooped up during our sewist-meetup in Bilbao in December.



La Maison Victor Adventure Jacket

Selfless sewing. I would make this jacket from a new Belgian sewing magazine for one of the monsters in my house (probably my husband) and I would make it in this reversible knit.


So, help me make a decision what to make for the March challenge. But don't worry if I don't make your favourite in March, I probably will soon...

The lines are now open, until 28 February 2014 - CET.




Thanks for your help! I also have a few projects to show you, pictures will be taken and posts written soon!

  8. Both of your first two selections are in my pattern stash, too--great minds must think alike! Though I haven't selected either of them for the bossy challenge. My vote is for the Vogue dress--so versatile, and the fabric you've chosen is fab.
