Project Threadbanger April 2009 Challenge

[glass__onion]

I didn't want to post this yesterday... because I was too tempted to turn it into a gag challenge. (heh)

In other news you might have already noticed, I am not TomSawyer. She has disappeared... so I'm taking over for the month while the search party is sent out.


Short Challenge:
Budget- $5
Make an accessory out of a a pillowcase! Ideas include bags, headwear, jewelry...

Long Challenge:
Budget- $10
Make a piece of clothing out of a sheet! Any size sheet will do.

For both challenges, no other fabric is allowed. You must only use the sheet / pillowcase.

The guest judges this month are: saintlike_ontheoutside, The Angry Hippie, and Kristie6625.


Also, for anyone wishing to be a guest judge for next month, please post here or PM me!

The e-mail link is wrong it goes to the Yahoo! account which is bad. The link to the past challenge winners doesn't work.

[mlssfshn]

Sorry the past link does work

[AbsurdAnnekuh]

When you say only the sheet, I am assuming that notions and thread are also allowed? Or are we literally only allowed to use the sheet? Would lace be considered fabric? What about bias binding?

[glass__onion]

notions are allowed! read the rules thread for all the details.

holy crap it does! thanks for the heads up, i'll fix that right now...

[AbsurdAnnekuh]

notions are allowed! read the rules thread for all the details.

I have read the rules thread and am still unclear on whether lace would be considered a notion (in so far as it is used as an edging rather than a section of the garment itself) or whether it would be considered fabric and thus not allowable for this challenge, as well as bias-binding. Personally, I consider it a notion, but I could see how, since it is made out of fabric, it would be considered fabric to many people; so I just wanted to be clear on that point before I started in on my idea.

ETA: Ah, I missed the FAQ thread, which has now answered my question. Looks like both are allowable. Sweetness. Sorry about that.

[glass__onion]

no problem. if you ever have a question about the rules, don't hesitate to ask.

[madonnaontherocks]

can we only use one sheet? or can we use the set? and does it have to be flat or can it be fitted?

[The Angry Hippie]

what bout sheets of paper?

[vickilyn666]

I'm so going to do both of these! I have some awesome leopard guest pillows and sheets I could definitely rip up

[The Angry Hippie]

Ok what if i take fabic i bought and make it into a pillow case then use that?

[madonnaontherocks]

Ok what if i take fabic i bought and make it into a pillow case then use that?

yeah!

[glass__onion]

Angry Hippie:
-no sheets of paper. (i would like to see that, though.)
-i'm going to say no as well to making the pillowcase first because the whole point of this contest is to REUSE a pillowcase.
-... aren't you judging?

[glass__onion]

madonna:
either fitted or flat, just not both. no sets.

[*Ashley*]

I just made something out of a cutrian set(curtians and valance)...it was about the same size as a sheet, could that count?

[glass__onion]

no, sorry, only sheets.

[Pika]

[The Angry Hippie]

[madonnaontherocks]

[The Angry Hippie]

And what about the pillow cases from body pillows or those boppy breast feeding pillows?

[glass__onion]

alright, any sort of pillowcase or sheet you can come up with. i would love to see something out of those plastic sheets.

[Kristie6625]

yay................. im a judge awsome ecspecially cuz i can't participate in this one cux i'm on spring break and we went out of town and i did't bring nothing with me :( ohwell cuz i still get to be involved

[Carpe_nox]

Is Iron on Interfacing concidered to be a notion?
Also- has there been any clarrification re: Bias Binding and if that will be allowed?

[RiotOnU]

for the long challenge can we use multiple pillow cases?

[blueknewtheshoe]

Ooh I'm excited.

[jsedai_77]

HOW have I been missing the PTB threads???
k I might do this one...we'll see if I"ve got some free time between feedings!!

[Catsmeow]

For the short challenge, can we use stiffening material like cardboard because pillowcases, especially used ones, are made with very flimsy materials...

[glass__onion]

yes, you can use other materials too, just not other fabrics.

[ryanmoore]

soo umm i dont think i can do the long challenge

So... sheets, right?

[Addie_Marie]

Hippie, you make me laugh all the time.

I'm definitely doing the long challenge. Something tells me this will be a popular one!!

[manateegirl]

can you put a decorative pin on the thing you make out of sheets? if the pin is made out of a different colored sheet?

[glass__onion]

yes, that would be allowed.

[Max_California]

omg. I just came here to look for inspiration. I didn't realise you guys had figured out Project Threadbanger properly ;)

How exciting. It's 7.30p on the 14th here in Australia now, but I have enough time to make something for the short challenge!

EDIT:: YEY! Submitted :)

[dollarstorecrafts]

Hey guys, I'm submitting my entry (yes! I signed up for the forums just to submit!). I read in the rules that you can use one thing from your stash for the project, so I used some stash fabric for lining... hope that's okay. If not, guess I don't mind being disqualified!

Thanks!
Heather

[The Angry Hippie]

awesome!
and welcome to the forum.

[dollarstorecrafts]

Thanks!

(p.s. I'm new to the forums but I blog for TB)

[The Angry Hippie]

[dollarstorecrafts]

Ha ha, yes, I'm so incognito.

[anneshine]

madonna:
either fitted or flat, just not both. no sets.

Any exceptions? I am stranded at college and would love to use my extra set of sheets, but one extra-long twin sheet will not cut it.

I stand corrected! One twin xl sheet had plenty of fabric for my entry - just submitted. I'm so excited, I have been wanting to do ptb for months. (I hope I at least get a mention, my mom's pretty pissed that I sliced up my spare sheets. Piffle.)

[vickilyn666]
