Why Can't We All Get Along?! - PPR#7

For Challenge #7 the Project Runway designers had to work in teams again (ugh!), create their own fabric, and each create one look for a collection.  Their inspiration had to be drawn from the city.  They did NOT all get along.  Joshzilla and Baby Bert clashed and clashed.

Since the Project Project Runway designers would be working on their own, only one look was necessary.  We were, however, admonished by Just Crafty Enough to try to get along with ourselves.

In any city in the summer time you can find kids playing with chalk, creating art on the sidewalk, and playing hopscotch.  I was inspired by the colors and the relaxed, fun feeling one gets when playing with chalk.

I made two fabrics . . . . .

One is brown zigzag stitches and straight line stitches of orange and green in chalk-like shades on a background of gray.
The other is strands of embroidery floss in chalk-like shades of pink and blue, zigzag stitched with pink thread, again on a background of gray.

My mini-collection, Sidewalk Chalk:

Dressy enough for a lunch date but casual enough for a pick-up game of hopscotch! 

Heidi:  I like that Summer's dress is tight and shows off her figure.  Lizbeth's skirt is almost short enough.
Michael Kors:  What is that on Summer's dress?! Is it a cowl? Is it a collar? I don't think I like it.
Nina:  I like your inspiration and your "collection" is cohesive.  I wonder, though, if you aren't a bit "one note" - we've seen embroidery floss on nearly everything you've made so far.  You really need to step it up!

Sounds like I squeaked by again.

We did all get along.  I think the girls had fun. Lizbeth was happy to help out and be modeling again. Summer really enjoyed herself and even picked up some chalk and doodled a little . . .

Extra points to anyone who can guess her last name and her true love's name ;)
