Halloween is the busiest time of year for sewing machines! Raise your hand if yours is overworked right now. We want to see what you’re making. Feel free to join in the fun by tagging @projectrunandplay and using #prpcostumeparade24 to share any costumes you’re making for your kids this month so that we can see!
3 creations that tag us, and use the hashtag will win a free pattern of choice from the PRP Shop! Winners chosen early November.
We also have a sale for you. Sometimes a pattern makes everything easier, and we think these are great bases to set your creative ideas on fire. Take 30% off any/all of these patterns through the end of October with code: COSTUMEPARADE
What a ride! I hope you have all enjoyed the beautiful creations these designers brought us this season. Our first SUPER SEASON! This week, they sewed something in their signature style, and votes and scores have been tallied for our final results!
Don’t forget the whole shop is on sale with code: SITEWIDE30 until the end of September. We wanted to celebrate with you all! We’d also love to have you sewing along with us this season. Entries close Sunday the 29th, so you have a few more days. Prizes are up for grabs!
Now we’d love to announce the winner of Season 29:
Candice Schoffstall
Here’s what Catherine, our celebrity guest judge had to say about the look:
“The photoshoot alone speaks to the overall cohesive design aesthetic of this gorgeous boho set. You really captured the heart of a desert bloom! Speaking of blooms, those 3D embroidered flowers? Incredible! I was also so impressed at how closely you were able to match the stretch lace inset through hand dyeing. You clearly have your signature style defined!”
Congratulations Candice!!! You did an amazing job!
Our amazing sponsors have made this post one of the most fun, because they’re sending all our contestants home with prizes! We’ve been hi-lighting them all month on all our channels, we hope you will support them as much as they support this community. We love to bring everyone together!
A HUGE thank you to our designers and sponsors for an amazing season. We hope you’ll stick around. There’s a fun new theme every month, sew-alongs, prizes, inspiration and more! We love to have fun, and the more, the merrier!
P.S. Your sewalong entry could score you a spot in the next season! If you’re interested in this sewing challenge, to let yourself make all the things you’ve been dreaming of, but can’t find the time, or you love sewing and photography, and sharing your skills, or you just want to push yourself, and win prizes, the next season will be coming this fall, and we need you!
The designers this season have pulled out all the stops. There have been so many amazing pieces shared, and multiple ties between our votes, panel of judges, and guest judge. The competition is stiff!
For this round, there are 6 designers remaining, and 1/3 of the score comes from our panel of past PR&P designers, 1/3 from a celebrity guest judge, Cornelius Quiring this week, and 1/3 of the score comes from the public vote. Thank you for your support!
We are so excited to share the three designers who will be continuing on to share their Signature Style look in the finals for Week 4!
Here’s what our celebrity judge had to say about Nikki’s look: “The patchwork of the dog on the back of the coat is mind-blowing. The work of someone who can only be a master of their craft. What a great way to memorialize their furry friend. I hope this coat is held onto for a lifetime. Again, a great colour palette that is used throughout the various piece. The little heart cutout on the side of the coat is another wonderful detail. The white topstitching on the pants also helps to wonderfully frame the ribbing in the knees. Bravo.”
We can’t wait to see and share their creations next week. Be sure to stay tuned. It’s going to be an amazing week!
Our least favorite part of this is sending people home. These ladies are all amazing designers, and they’ve outdone themselves. I can’t stress how close this competition has been. We’re just sending them home with barely a 1 point difference. We hope you will follow them and watch and see what they do next, because it’s going to be fabulous!
They won’t go home empty-handed. Our sponsors have been so generous, and they will all get prizes after the competition wraps up! Please support our sponsors by shopping their websites, and following them on social media.
Our sew along is open to anyone who sews for children, so please join in. Maybe you could be in a future season!
