Copycat Challenge Inspiration

Hello everyone!

Have you heard about Peneloping’s Copycat Challenge? If not, you should go check it out.

In short, here are the rules:

1. Choose a garment as your inspiration. Make sure you reference it and acknowledge where you found it. Pick several if you want!
2. Make it the way you want with your own touch and style.
3. Blog about it! Tell us what pattern(s) you used, what inspired you about the item you chose, how you styled it, whatever you want!
4. If you don’t have a blog and want to participate, send us an email and we’ll add it to the submissions post for you.

So here is my inspiration board for this challenge:

I want to use the skirt (and maybe waistband) from the burda dress pattern because I love the tulip skirt on the first ANDie dress, and for the top I want to use an newish knit top and embellish it with lace like in the second ANDie dress photo.

So here’s what I need to do:

• Trace burda pattern
• Purchase trim and zip
• Cut out fabric (and try to match those plaids!)
• Sew together
• Take awesome photos
• Blog and submit!

The best part: we have until the end of September to submit! 😀

Good luck to everyone who is taking this challenge!
