Season 2 of Project Runway Australia started this week and I love it already! We've seen some divine designs and hideous creations, in week one!
And it looks like the new season of US Project Runway starts this weekend (yay, LOVE it just as much as the Aussie one!)
So I thought, why not mark the new season/s of Project Runway Australia and US by creating a challenge....
Take a piece of clothing - either one you have hanging in your wardrobe already - or, as I have done - buy it from the Op Shop/Goodwill/Thrift Store/garage sale - anywhere....
and REVAMP IT!
OR if clothing is not your thing - you could revamp a hat, purse, handbag, shoes, doll's clothes....
To join in the fun you'll need to do the following:
Make sure you take BEFORE PHOTOS
Take DURING PHOTOS
and of course, AFTER PHOTOS
so we can see
what you had to play with with,
where you were taking it,
and what it became!
Create a post on your blog on FRIDAY AUGUST 14th, 2009, showing these pics, and any product suggestions or tips on how you revamped your fabulous garment
Visit my blog and let me know you're up and running and I'll add you to the list of participants on the day.
All participants will go into a draw to win your choice of THREE unframed canvas prints that you can find in my shop/lollishop/etsy !!
If you'd like to join in - feel free to snag this image below and add it to your blog sidebar with a link to this blog post. (click it first to maximise the size)
I'm revamping this vintage nylon nightie.... you'll see it again on August 14th!
I hope you will join me!

Hi,
I wanted to write and tell you about a new website for fashion designers, artists, musicians, and filmmakers: www.PutItOn.com. I've been using the site as an artist and have my work there, and am trying to support. Basically, the site allows artists from all over the world to connect, display their portfolios, and sell their work (with no commission taken). The site gives artists a free gigabyte of space to showcase their portfolios, allows you to stream audio and video works, lets you create live personal broadcasts, and translates any writing into ten different languages. If you could take the time to visit the site, and if you like it too, let your readers know about it, and even sign up yourself or link to it on your site it would be greatly appreciated! We are trying to make a go of helping out artists everywhere and are trying to get the word out, so please help us out if you like the site after checking it out!
Thank you!

Hi Dear Natasha, I think your Blog is THE most Glorious thing i have ever seen, it is just Stunning, and i can't stop looking at all the Gorgeous Goodies you have on there.
I havn;t done a lot of Craft in quite some time,due to illness, But, i am sooooooo tempted to have a go in your 'Revamp it'project, i am a little unsure of exactly how to go about it, and really don't want to look like a Dunce, next to all that Talent, but am feeling so exited for the first time in ages, you really are Inspirational..
And those swaps you do are sooo Amazing, how do i start one of those?????
Any how i have drooled all down the front of myself, so had better go and dry off, Thank you so much for giving me something Beautiful to think about...xxxxxCarilyn.
Hi Natasha,
I would love to join in with your 'Revamp it' challenge! I have a 'delightful' bri-nylon nightdress that needs help - thank goodness they no longer make nighties from that stuff!
;-))
I don't know what Project Runway is (being in the UK), but hopefully that won't matter...
Happy Vamping!

Hi Natasha ~
I've never seen Project Runway ~ but I'd LOVE to get creative and revamp something. Thanks for hosting this Fabulous event~~
Can't ever remember that the Seasons are different in AU than in the US. It's quite HOT here today and I'm thinking some ice cream would be perfect today.

Brilliant idea! Can you do Design Star next?
Oh I just simply love this project...I would really like to join, it is just that I will leave on the 11th and I will not be arround a computer for about 3 weeks...Is there any other way I could do it? Maybe post my project before I go, or something??? If not, well, I'm sure you will organize others like this one! :) Great great community of blogging, I am so excited every time I find people from around the world who share the same interest as myself...:)
Take care,
Erika
Yaaay, I got so excited after reading your comment...Sorry for not being able to acces my profile, I checked my blog-status and it was set on "public" so I can't find the reason...But it doesn't really matter :) So I will definitely send you mine too then :) (and just thanks for your wishes...I am sure my trip will be great, because France is an alltime dream and even less great things seem great over there, hahaha)
Good luck with your lovely vintage nightie!:)
I love this ides. On one of my last thrif store visits I happened upon a beautiful red soft wool cashmere dress. Well the dress was kind of horrid,... but the fabric so beautiful to the touch. Since I am really enjoying my grannyhood and we've just discoer the Little Red Ridding Hood,..I decided to make one for my grandaughter,..Id love to join in and share it with you.
I want to try this Natasha. I'll have to see what I can come up with. I'm sure that whatever you do it will be fabulous!
Hi Natasha, I'm Jill ... this sounds right up my ally and a boat load of FUN!! Please count me in!
My mind is already racing with ideas ...
