Here it is! Fast-Fashion, a high speed, slow-fashion sewing challenge featuring Elly Grant of Double Dipped and Toby Binder from Virgo Sewing & Apparel. Presented as part of the Bumaroo Festival 2020 livestream, filmed at Silence Guelph
What is a fast-fashion sewing challenge?
With a Project Runway style approach, two competitors are faced with the task of creating a garment from scratch, but with limited time to spare.
For this challenge, competitors prepared a mystery bag for their opponent, containing pre-cut pattern pieces to create a garment from start to finish. Participants were given 20 minutes to complete their garments, sewing them on vintage machines.
