I wish I could sew. Make my own clothes. Create my own bastard sizing system to find clothes that fit my variously sized 2,4 or 6 body.
Project Runway is our favorite (and only) reality show we watch religiously. Yes, even I can’t believe Jay will sit through this designing show with me.
But he’s got a point: This isn’t one of those silly screaming-I-sleep-with-you-but-you-say-you-love-her-so-I-throw-crystal type reality shows. This is a real test of designing creativity. And these people have some mad sick skills with a needle and thread.
Evidence: Look at Austin’s corn husk dress made in Season 1 (left) and Chloe’s dress made from the “Clothes off your back” challenge (right). [The challenges were to make clothes with materials found in a grocery store and to make a new outfit from the clothes they were wearing at a party, respectively.]
I love these random challenges and I enjoy seeing how someone can turn shower curtains or an old jean jacket into haute couture.
Project Runwayers, here’s the Dot Challenge: Without using a needle, and with one hand tied behind your back, create an outfit for someone who doesn’t have a model’s perfect figure. And oh, you can only use this carburetor and work rags as materials.
