A BWOF shirred top caught my eye recently, but I was wondering how easy their zigzag method would be. I might give it a go.<br /><br />Good luck for the remainder of the competition!Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392520536946879645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-7435765955483277822010-04-13T10:51:15.567-04:002010-04-13T10:51:15.567-04:00Ha, crosspost!

The 16th was a typo*, and the contest mod was wrong when she kept telling us the 14th. So it's a little better -- I may go for it now!<br /><br />*Apparently, the gallery & contest page always show the wrong date because of some glitch? So always ignore those.Sarah @ ColorKittenhttp://www.colorkitten.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-13301458492132203432010-04-13T10:48:09.110-04:002010-04-13T10:48:09.110-04:00Sarah, I just looked at the discussion board--it l...Sarah, I just looked at the discussion board--it looks like the final deadline is 11:59 PM THURSDAY night April 15--so we have a LITTLE bit more time after all!Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-25418938561569848062010-04-13T10:42:43.720-04:002010-04-13T10:42:43.720-04:00Oh CRAP.

And I have childbirth class until 10:30 tomorrow night.<br /><br />Oh well... If I finish the skirt and cardi tonight, I'll photograph them in the AM and do my composite. Obviously the dress is just not going to happen but I will just substitute one of the other skirts I made within the contest period. <br /><br />Bummer.Mikhaela Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817367214920267825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-85067254585113363762010-04-13T10:39:16.254-04:002010-04-13T10:39:16.254-04:00mikhaela - ALERT!!

For some reason 3 different dates have been posted (by the contest mod, I think) but it actually ends on the 14th. a LOT of people though it was the 15th or 16th. If you are screaming ARGH right now you may hear my argh echoing yours.<br /><br />Also, good job on the shirring! Someday I will tackle it again.Sarah @ ColorKittenhttp://www.colorkitten.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-61841280714191541822010-04-13T09:05:50.889-04:002010-04-13T09:05:50.889-04:00I have never shirred, but I have gathered and ruff...I have never shirred, but I have gathered and ruffled, and there's nothing so satisfying as seeing the results from these simple techniques.
