One of us here at Crafterhours is totally stoked about being able to judge Spring Top Week ’11. And we’re both looking forward to Skirt Week. Neither of us was expecting to be asked to judge the Copycat Challenge over at Sew Much Ado, but we’re totally happy to hop to it. We’re at the ready. And in order to warm up for it, we decided to do a little copycatting ourselves.
Adrianna found this lovely number at Oilily and there was a sudden fire under her… bottom… to do it. And since the Crafterhours Reunion was taking place, it was the perfect opportunity to craft together. We couldn’t start until we had debated the most appropriate spelling of “gipsy”. We decided we preferred “gypsy”. Not that it mattered, because rather than totally copycat we used this as a point of inspiration.
I feel obligated to include a photo of me with my hair down. Not only were my friends surprised at how long it was, I was surprised. I’m so regularly in hair-up-on-the-go-mom-mode, I seriously forgot how long it was. It was, quite literally, a night to let my hair down with good friends.
Woo hoo! Now that means you HAVE to come and see us. Cause it’s on the shirt.
Looks like you ladies had tons of fun. I’m totally jealous of the crafty time, good friends and adult beverages all outside the realm of the home and at least 5 miles away from your children. Good for you. You all deserve it. Can’t wait to check out the Copycat Challenge!
Great shirts! What a fun craft and something I could even do with my girls. Thanks for the idea.
Gosh you all are always inspiring me! I already have the markers, and of course my daughter has already found them… Hmmm now I just need to know how to draw. I am so looking forward to SPRING SEWING! I have been ahem, stocking up on fabric and patterns. Because you know I was running so low! I cannot wait for the skirt challenge! So fun! I like seeing what everybody comes up with.
great idea. i know my girls would enjoy designing their own shirts.
How awesome, I can’t draw but I might give it a try. I had never heard of those markers but can’t wait to go get some and try them out, even for smaller things like bibs, etc.
