What a week! You SHOWED UP to vote, and we are so appreciative of the community support around these designers!
The theme was: Refashion It! And our designers took items or garments and gave them a new life.
The results have been tallied and the winner of Week 1 is:
Amanda – Sheet to Chic
Here’s what Jaleh of Cañada College, our celebrity guest judge, had to say about the look:
“Amanda, great craftsmanship—the quilting and styling are really well done. I do wonder about the wearability of the shirt with buttons in the back and whether it might appeal more to a mom than a young girl, but the effort and detail you invested truly show.”
Thank you Jaleh for contributing as a guest judge this week. As a reminder, 1/3 of the score comes from a guest judge, 1/3 from your vote, and 1/3 from a panel of judges: Alexe St-Germain, Katie Grimm, and Lakeisha Webb, who participate all season. They are all past Project Run & Play contestants, and know exactly what it’s like to be in these designers’ shoes. We are thankful for their contributions!
Congratulations, Amanda! It’s a beautiful look, and we’re excited to award you with the $100 weekly prize from Fat Quarter Shop!
We’re also so happy that all six designers advance to next week. But after the next round, eliminations begin. Be sure to follow along and support your favorite designs. We wouldn’t have as much fun without your participation.
