So Project Runway had its first episode last night. Lily and I were at the TV with a big tub of popcorn.
Episode 1 Challenge :
Creating an outfit from your jammies and the bedsheet you slept on.
I hoped they washed this stuff first…
I just finished a vintage bedsheet dress, but the contestants didn’t have such a cool sheet to work with. Instead, they had plain grey or white poly cotton blend sheets to dye with some provided dyes. I was really impressed by the former Miss Trinidad and Tobago, Anya Chee who has only been sewing for four months. Her pants fit great and the top was really cute.

Burts’ dress made from his boxers and his sheet. |
Burt Keeters’s winning outfit made from his gingham boxers and a bedsheet. I think this skirt is way too short and would look a lot more chic if it was a little longer. But I love the draping around the bodice.
And last but not least, this weeks losing outfit:
I love love love Burt! Did you watch the casting special beforehand? Everything he showed in that was fantastic too. I was fully expecting, like the others, that since he designed in the 70’s his things would have a dated feel to them. I was pleasantly surprised that they were so modern and chic!
I was out of town and forgot to set the DVR. Thank you for reminding me!
Can’t wait to see what the others did.
I love Anyas clothes but I’m suspicious about her being truthful. Her first time sewing pants and they turn out so fabulous. Only sewing for four month. Huh?
Great show though. I love Project Runway.
YAY! Thanks for the recap–I don’t think I can watch it here…so it’s fun to see the creations!
I love the show, never missed a season. Hope the show will be showing soon on our channels.
