We decided to forgo a Round Robin Garment for a year or two with the intent that members will have time to work on individual studies.   We gathered each month for a show and share session and to work on techniques.  Throughout our program year, we explored techniques we can use on wearables.  Some of the techniques that have been suggested include: fabric dyeing, stenciling, decorating shoes, handbags/belts, beading, fabric flowered necklaces, fibers/threads and silk painting.  It was also suggested we have another shop and swap night.

It was suggested as an optional challenge, that members create something wearable with the techniques we explored during the year for our May 2000 General Meeting Fashion Show.  The wearable could be as diverse as a full ensemble, jacket, or vest, or as simple as handbag or hat.

Finished Projects

"Xena Digs the Flower Bed" by Amy Gerson

"Somethin's Fisheee Down Here", a vest by Heidi Lund
This vest won 2nd prize in the International Sulky 2000 Challenge.

A typical Round Robin Garment Project starts in September.  Each participant fills a box with the fabric and notions of her choice, plus pattern pieces cut to fit herself.  Every month or two, the box rotates among the participants, and each embellishes a pattern piece.  The owner constructs the garment from the embellished pieces, then models the completed work at the fashion show held at the May General Meeting.

Challenges include trusting your fabric to others, working with others' taste in fabric, harmonizing your work with previously embellished pattern pieces, and finishing on time!  Owners are allowed to specify a theme for the garment, to suggest techniques, and to express preferences.  Participants are allowed to make minor additions to the given materials.  Owners are allowed to modify the embellished pattern pieces.
