Resolutions for the New Year:
‘Tis the season for New Year’s resolutions and Selvedge has made you a little list:
# 1. Let your creativity flow with one of our many fashion design competitions (check out November in the blog archive). & get going on your portfolio for Project Selvedge!
#2. No better way to loose weight than to get addicted to a sewing project (who has time to eat? Plus that would require you clean your project off the kitchen table).
Selvedge has tons of classes, workshops, and patterns on our website for your newest addiction-hey there are worse things to be addicted to…this one’s doctor approved.

#3. Make friends: invite the girls over for a crafting party: Wine + girlie giggles multiplied by awesome fabric = a darn good time. Trust me, we do it all day at work-well without the wine-for the most part.
#4. Learn something new! Sewing is good for your mind body and soul so put your book club on hold and start your own sew lounge.
Selvedge to the rescue with expert (but mostly just super fun) teachers for classes and workshops for all skill levels. Go to the website before you miss something! selvedgestudio.com

NATIONAL JACKET CHALLENGE
Well...winter is officially here and you know what that means right?! It is time to turn on your fashion design brains!! We're gearing up for Project Selvedge (you know, our annual fashion design competition), but in the meantime-put your thinking caps on cause Selvedge is proud to announce our involvement in a NATIONAL JACKET COMPETITION.
Here's the deal:
1. Make a jacket. It can be of your own design or from a commercial pattern (you do get brownie points for making the pattern yourself, just sayin').
2. This is not a team project. If your friend wants to help, tell him to enter his own jacket!
3. The criteria by which your jacket will be judges is as follows: a. creativity b. fit on model and craftsmanship.
4. Your jacket will be judged by a panel of 3 amazingly talented folks at a live fashion show on First Friday February 5 at 7p at Selvedge (509 S Higgins). At which point we will require full disclosure of costs of supplies, patterns used, etc. (The jacket itself will be due January 31st).
5. There will be a spending limit of $100 to keep the competition fair. If you get your fabric from Selvedge you get 20% off your supplies (which means $120, yeah?). You are free to use your "stash," I've know we've all got one. But be conscious of what your fabrics are worth-don't tell me you got 5 yards of cashmere for $45, not a chance.
6. Of course, there will be prizes! $100 in cash, $50 gift certificate to Selvedge and dinner for two at Iza-our newest Hip Strip restaurant. Plus, anyone who makes a jacket will be automatically entered as an applicant into our fourth annual Project Selvedge-unless you don't want to be for some crazy reason! Oh yeah!! And your the winning jacket will be featured in a spread in Threads for the world to see.
I know you've got a lot on your plate right now, but just start your sketching-I predict you'll be rearing to go by the new year (do I smell a resolution?).
