Project Sewing Workshop Sewing Challenge
Fifteen designers, students, and hobby sewers agreed to participate in a fashion challenge. They were given a selection of six patterns by The Sewing Workshop Pattern Collection and a group of 21 fabrics from which to choose to create ensembles for this show. Bernina provide the materials at no charge and the designers were given complete creative license to alter, re-invent, embellish, and otherwise give another life to these patterns and fabrics.
