Autumn War Iron Needle Competition

 

Come and test your creative sewing skills!   The Iron Needle competition has become an Autumn War tradition. This year, each participant will need to declare for either the Summits or Tir Righ for the war point. In this manner, we will divide up into two teams and each team will be given an identical assortment of fabrics from which to create one article of clothing or outfit per team, depending upon the number of participants. You may bring a single item of trim or embellishment of some type, if you wish, and each team may use up to 3 of these items. Each team must also use at least some of each type of fabric provided.   All items will be cut, sewn, and embellished during the three hours of the competition, and sewing will all be done by hand. Judging to follow and the war point to be announced in court. The items we create will be donated for Gold Key or Largesse.  

Both teams need to provide the following;
Team Captain

Thread for sewing
