Open Sourcing Sewing Blog Blog_icon


That’s right, we felt it was time for another contest. Get your pen and pencil out, warm up your hand, pull out the paper. We are going to be looking for your best technical drawings. As some of you may have noticed, there is no technical drawing associated with the Alison swimsuit. We thought it would be a great opportunity for all of you out there who are not only a whiz at the sewing machine, but also have the sketching skills of DaVinci, to showcase your talents. We are excited to see all you multitalented members out there. You have until the 18th of July to send us your best technical drawing of the Alison swimsuit. The winner will receive $50! So send’em in to us at team@burdastyle.com and good luck!

    stoked about flickr up for swap!

    Ooooh, this could be fun, do we have to do it by hand or can we use illustrator/CAD programs?

    loves the warm weather dress season

    You can draw by hand or use Illustrator/CAD, whatever you feel comfortable with! If you send files, you can send .ai, .psd, jpeg, PDF - anything.

    We're looking forward!

    so you guys are wanting the front and back views like normally accompany the pattern? just want to make sure that i understand the challenge. And i'm definitely WAY better at drawing (even the technical stuff) than i am at sewing. especially sewing lycra, which seems to be a territorial cat to my feed dog... -m :)

    A thought just occurred to me...I didn't mention my user name when I emailed my entry...will that matter?
