ROSE HEADBANDS:




Thank you Portabellopixie!  For a lovely Saturday afternoon, and the pattern for the perfect headband.  Straight out of Sandi Henderson's clever book Sewing Bits Pieces (page 154, we've got signed copies here).

WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE TREND?

These ladies didn't see it coming as they naively told me the god-honest-truth about what fashion trends they hate the most.  Now, they have to embody that hideous look in their next challenge.  

Get to know the girls:  We asked them some questions  1. What is your least/most favorite trend?  2. What is one word that best describes you? (get your dictionaries out) 

Here's what they said:

Nicole
hearts:  bright blazers
hates:  fluffy workout suits
in one word:  gallivant

Meredith
hearts: plaid (because she's secretly a lumberjack)

hates:  jeggings ("no pockets!  useless!")
in one word:  intrepid
April
hearts:  the up-cycling movement & organic fabrics
hates:  the "only-one-sleeve" trend
in one word:  inquisitive
Christina
hearts:  cowboy boots
hates:  tights as pants


Dakota
hearts:  the old, classic lines of vintage styles
hates:  skinny jeans with gladiator sandals
in one word:  Chimera

Hana
hearts:  high waisted jeans (and secretly the "mythical jegging")
hates:  harem pants
in one word:  supersonic-motivated
(it makes more sense with this:

Olga
hearts:  high waisted everything
hates:  sweatpants & pajamas in public (amen!)

Jen
hearts:  rescuing horrible things by re purposing them
hates: hammer pants & crocks



What would you be forced to make? We challenge you to give it a shot too!
