This season seems like it’s really flying by but we’ve already reached the 10th episode and so much has happened thus far!  Last week was a thriller of an episode, leading into the top 6 designers of this competition fighting it out with a new unconventional materials challenge.

Project Runway S16 E8 Recap - Full on DRAMA and we still don't have a loser for this week... again! #ProjectRunway

Ok, so the last episode left us with a little suspense and this episode doesn’t leave us with much more other than the fact that we’ve lost Shawn… She was so upset with having to go against Claire that it ultimately clouded her ability to design a new look for the challenge.  She chose to concede and give Claire a shot at making a name for herself in this competition. I really wish we could have…

DIY Off The Shoulder Top V9242

Nothing makes me happier right now!  I’ve finally dusted off my machine, gone through my fabric stash and decided on a few patterns to start off with.  I’m in the mood to revamp my wardrobe & even give some clothes away so I can make room for more.  In the wake of hurricane season, sewing is on the brain!  I think watching all of this Project Runway may have something to do with my sudden need to…

Project Runway S16 E6 Recap

After the last competition, I just knew that this week would be good so let’s just jump right in.  Let me say – immediately before this episode is a clip of previous cast member’s flipping out moments, so I was convinced that someone was going to lose it this week and/or quit!  Luckily, I was wrong. Episode 6 – Models Off Duty To start off this episode, the designers meet with the models who are…

Project Runway S16 E5 Recap

It’s that time again!  If you’ve noticed a trend by now, I’ve been posting my weekly recaps of this season’s episodes a few days after the show airs.  This gives me a few days to re-watch the episode and catch all of the tid bits about it.  I’m hoping that this also allows you to see the episodes too, so we have some time to have thoughts to share!  Episode 5 – Descending into Good and Evil This…

Project Runway S16 E4 Recap

This season of Project Runway is off and moving full steam ahead.  The competitions are getting more intense and the heat is really starting to rise.  Some key competitors are starting to show their weaknesses while others are thriving with each challenge.  This week’s episode really stretches the competition and you start to separate the good from the great. Episode 4 – We’re Sleeping Wear? To…

Project Runway S16 E3 Recap

This week’s episode of Project Runway was a fun and refreshing challenge based on the new movie, Leap!  The designers are told to use the movie as inspiration and invent something that’s inspired by “dance, movement and innovation”. Episode 3 – A Leap of Innovation This week, the cast gets to head over to Mood Fabrics to get their supplies, a welcomed advantage from last week!  I think everyone…

Project Runway S16 E2 Recap

Episode 2 – An Unconventional Recycling Let me start off by saying that I hate unconventional challenges.  I’m fully aware that unconventional challenges bring out the real artists and showcase everyone’s creativity, or lack thereof, but I want to see flowy fashions hit the runway, not up-cycled trash…. The group heads off to a large recycling facility and are commissioned to make runway ready…

Project Runway S16 E1 Recap

Like most of my friends who like to sew, I indulge in watching every episode of Project Runway pretty religiously each season.  Sometimes I even binge watch previous seasons just to get my fix of the creativity and different techniques.  I especially like seeing everyone’s process for creating their looks each week.  It motivates me.  Here a some of my thoughts from the 1st episode of Season 16.…

Hello Friends & Fellow Sew-Sistas, I’m sure I’m not the only one of us that goes MIA and completely disconnects from time to time.  It’s been several months since I’ve posted much of anything, absolutely ZERO sewn projects, 1 (?) blog post, no podcast episodes and only a few social media posts in 2017 combined.  This has been a pretty unproductive year when it comes to me and my Fashion Addict…

[GIVEAWAY] It’s New Year’s Re-SEW-Lution Time!

It’s that time of year again – if you haven’t already started to compile your list of things to make this year, what a better time than now to begin!  I’ve taken a long, unanticipated hiatus from my sewing room (which usually happens around the holidays), and as I write this post I’m committing myself to getting back to sewing!  For this new year, I plan on building pieces to my wardrobe that I…
