Hello Everyone!
It’s been quite an amazing journey for this years’ Dress Like Your Grandma challenge. It’s been so heartwarming reading your family stories and experiences as you’ve shared your projects with family members. I’ve loved getting a peek at your photo albums and watching you recreate treasured photographs. Although the basis of this challenge is recreating a family members’ photo (not just your grandma or a female), but it’s open to interpretation. Some of us don’t have photos of our “grandmas” and use memories or photos of garments that remind us of our loved ones. Others choose to recreate an advertisement or an outfit that a celebrity wore. These are all part of the spirit of this challenge. I very much enjoyed DLYG2 and look forward to hosting this vintage sewing challenge again next year. Thanks also to our generous sponsors! <3
*Note: If I have missed your DLYG entry, please let me know ASAP before a use a random number generator to choose the participant’s prizes.*

This was so fun to watch. I just couldn’t fit it in but maybe next year….I know what I want make. I’ve always wanted to recreate my great grandma’s wedding dress which was separates and worn to oblivion afterwards.

I love everyone’s outfits!! I wasn’t able to complete mine on time (I got a promotion at work half-way through the challenge and suddenly found myself with a lot less sewing time), but I do plan on finishing it eventually!
Megan says
These are so impressive! I can’t believe how spot on some of them are, and the ones that are “inspired” are fun too. Great job to all!
