I've been thinking about making a dress for my mum and posting that, so I'd like to go with that too!  She used to make all her own things in her younger days and was very stylish.   I'd love to make some things for her.

how about - a three piece outfit over three weeks. Submit one piece each week and on the third week a photo of the whole look together. Would break me out of my dress rut.. and make me think carefully about making separates that acually work together.

Wouldn't have to be the obvious top with skirt/pant and jacket. Could be a dress with bolero and clutch bag for example... or a hat even!

That is a nice idea - it wo0uld be fun to see what combinations everyone came up with.  Plus, I could do with some separates.

Same here!  I actually have a suit that I began some time (years!) ago and this would be the perfect opportunity to finish it.

Love the idea!  Would make me break out of the dress rut a bit, too.  ;-)

Brilliant idea.  I could really use this... :)

How about all starting with the same straight skirt pattern and then see how you can change it by adding vents, kick pleat, pleated panel, goddets etc (but not all at once :) )

Also making a lined skirt or dress.

Or Playing with Pockets - trying out different ways to make them.
