An outfit inspired by your favorite pair of shoes!

An outfit inspired by a band or musical group would be neat. Or winter accessories. It's cold out!
glamourie

or an outfit inspired by a film or book?

an outfit inspired by the built environment - eg a building or a landscaped place

I really like that shoe inspiration one and totally second that! I also like the idea of the book inspiration one. Either one of those two has my vote! =D

Thanks everybody for the suggestions! A lot of people said that they found our "Sew your song" contest really hard, so I am reluctant to have a band, film or book subject at the moment. The shoe idea is great and everybody seems to like it, so voilĂ - this is our new contest! We'll leave this thread open though, so if there's a subject you'd really like to see next month, this is the place to let us know!

something for valentines day? i'd really like ideas for what to wear!

I really like the idea of Valentines Day n_n
olsemeik

I need a breastfeeding friendly dress. I also like the historical period idea

valentines day one would be good, but i think the little black dress would be interesting, maybe little black dress with your own twist

I made a mental note about the Valentines Day idea for next year. For this year, it's a bit too late since the contest ends two weeks after the day. :-) We really liked the historical theme thing, so this is our challenge for February. Hope you enjoy it and hope to see some great designs from everybody again!
In the meantime, if you have more ideas for future contests, post them here - we always love to hear what you guys would like to see on Your Style Rocks!

Maybe a contest based on a single word??? Like, "simplicety" or "geometry"???
BIscuts

I would like to see a contest based on a color that you think describes it :D Or maybe a contest structured around a classic movie?

Style Rockstar
Ooo! Please could we have a contest based on a particular type of fabric or a certain print? Like a "what would you make with this chiffon/taffeta/crepe/print"

I love to work w/ 3D aplique, it gives the extra touch to any piece of cloth.
I would like the idea of a crafty design contest, could be a dress, a tee or a top.
laralee
Style Rookie
GREAT idea, lila! Maybe polka dots!!????? (Or dots in general :-)))
ehoffman

It might be cool to base a design on a work of art or painting.
Another interesting idea could be a "travel" theme, where you can pick a locale and construct an outfit to wear there or inspired by the place itself.
I joined too late to get something drawn for this month's contest but I'm really excited to participate in the next one!

How 'bout a contest where the garment you design is based on your favourite actress, actor, or singer. Audrey Hepburn and the little black dress anyone? Or how about based on your favourite movie?

We need a bathing suit contest! I mean, all these patterns on here are all just dresses. And I mean, what about tote bags? Or Jeans? We need to branch out more! Who's with me?
Claire
Style Rookie
I love the bathing suit and jeans ideas ! For the tote bag, I think it's so "simple" to need a pattern.
becky
Style Rookie
I think a pattern for a nice pair of summer trousers would be good - we don't all wear skirts all the time - not necessarily jeans but trousers would be good
lila_
Style Rockstar
i agree with becky!
shm00zekazze
Style Rookie
I also agree with becky, I would love a trouser contest!
Kim
Style Goddess
Thanks everybody, for the ideas so far! The jeans and bathing suit suggestions are interesting, but probably a bit too tricky. For garments like these it is almost impossible to make a pattern that suits most body types.
The trousers idea is great - that's definitely something we will do soon.
And of course, we're still always open for suggestions - just keep posting in this thread!
