Project Rundle

Last week we started 'Project Rundle', a Project Runway-esque assignment for which we were paired up and assigned one Rundle Mall side street and one Rundle Mall arcade. These become the inspiration behind an outfit to enter into a competition held by Rundle Mall to have our outfit on parade in March. The 9 runner-up outfits (all the rest) will also be on display but not on parade. Spotlight Rundle Mall is sponsoring the project by giving each team a $100 gift card, and the winning team a $500 gift card.

Being in Group 1, we were assigned Gawler Place and Southern Cross Arcade. My final design to toile up is inspired by Southern Cross Arcade, has four garments in it (including two jackets), and features both machine- and hand-embroidery. Obviously I thought I'd go down the easy route this time. Thanks to a fortuitously timed promotion, we saved $40 when spending $100 or more at Spotlight, and so managed to afford to make both Alyce's and my outfit. It's going to be a bit of a slog to finish both in a week, so I'll probably be spending quite a bit of 'overtime' in the workshop.

I'm really excited, I love both our outfits. Photos later!
