we must make something inspired by project runway?
Shwin W
TARA, no it does not have to be inspired by project runway. It can be anything you made for a child/toddler. It can be made following a pattern or a creation you made up.

I think i might like to try this. I have only sewn by patterns so when you say make it your own would that mean with how i embellish it or actually changing something about the pattern? Thank you so much.
Shwin W
Rhadonda, yes! Tweak or embellish, or maybe just use a really creative combination. We are not going to go all project runway snob here, we just really think a contest bringing out creative children's sewing would be fun. Patterns or online tutorials are more than ok to use we just ask that you share what you used. <br />I really hope you try out! I think it will be a lot of fun! We have some
