<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let's start with a little information about BCA!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are a team of designers who work together to offer fans creations made from themes and challenges.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In auctions, <span style="color: #2f1703;">all designers must submit handmade items or items that have been altered in some way. </span> It is a great way for designers to step out of the box and create items they may not create otherwise. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, team members provide a huge support system for each other. <span style="color: #2f1703;">We are all dedicated to helping each other grow, and we all work together in a friendly competitive environment. There is absolutely zero drama tolerated while, at the same time, everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions. </span>We issue personal challenges to members, cheer each other on, answer questions, offer suggestions, etc. The team is an amazing group of ladies who know how to support each other. <span style="color: #2f1703;"><br /><br />We do charge a small quarterly fee to all BCA Designers to help fund our promotions and advertising. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">We are looking for a group of diverse designers who design items we are not currently offering. This does not mean that if you design something that is currently being offered you will not be considered-- Please apply! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In auctions, <span style="color: #2f1703;">all designers must submit handmade items or items that have been altered in some way. </span> It is a great way for designers to step out of the box and create items they may not create otherwise. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, team members provide a huge support system for each other. <span style="color: #2f1703;">We are all dedicated to helping each other grow, and we all work together in a friendly competitive environment. There is absolutely zero drama tolerated while, at the same time, everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions. </span>We issue personal challenges to members, cheer each other on, answer questions, offer suggestions, etc. The team is an amazing group of ladies who know how to support each other. <span style="color: #2f1703;"> </span></span></div>

BCA is looking for a few designers to join the team. <br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let's start with a little information about BCA!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are a team of designers who
work together to offer fans creations made from themes and challenges.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In auctions, <span style="color: #2f1703; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">all designers must submit handmade items or items that have been
altered in some way. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
great way for designers to step out of the box and create items they may not
create otherwise. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, team members provide a huge support system
for each other. <span style="color: #2f1703; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We are
all dedicated to helping each other grow, and we all work together in a friendly
competitive environment. There is absolutely zero drama tolerated while, at the
same time, everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions. </span>We issue personal
challenges to members, cheer each other on, answer questions, offer
suggestions, etc. The team is an amazing group of ladies who know how to
support each other. <span style="color: #2f1703; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></div>
We are looking for a group of diverse designers
who design items we are not currently offering. This does not mean that if you design something that is currently being offered you will not be considered-- Please apply! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
What is a mug rug you ask? They are super cute things that are a cross between a coaster and a placemat. They are great for a little snack and your favorite drink. <br />
<br />
Our designers were able to bring their own flavor to this challenge in a way that some were not used to, as few of our designers have ever made anything close to a Mug Rug before. What a perfect challenge, right?<br />
<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/brownie-goose/158808806918">brownie-goose</a> is named after 2 of my 4-legged children, my labs. I have a
chocolate lab (my sidekick) named Mallard that we call "brownie, (sadly we lost
my brown dog in may of 2013, we sure miss that boy!)" and a black lab (mixed
with horse, she is huge) named Lucy that we call "goose."

<div style="text-align: center;">
Changes Made: Used Satin and Minky throughout the outfit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Top: Changed the sleeves a bit and added Minky trim to both the sleeves and along the bottom which added some length. Added a satin sash sewn across the front and free to tie in the back. Shortened the neck ruffle to just a slight ruffle. Omitted the pocket. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bottom: Altered the pattern into a size 8 (only went to 5). Did a double panel along the bottom above the ruffle and made the ruffle a bit smaller to just give it a little something but not take away from the dress. Omitted the buttons and ties along the bottom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then added a minky and satin hat to go along with the outfit</div>

Pattern: <a href="http://browniegoose.blogspot.com/search/label/pattern%20list">Katie</a> + 2 men's dress shirts = mini steam punk </div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: center;">
So this dress is based on the Katie top, first I realized the Katie doesn't go up to her size, so I upsized it to a 7/8 adding a little more length to the bodice in addition to width. I embellished the bodice front with the buttonhole placket from one of the upcycled shirts in a random zigzag.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: center;">
Secondly I wanted a dress more than a top so I len<span class="text_exposed_show">gthened the bottom to skirt length. To this I added a wide ruffled lace at the hem and randomly sewed the buttons near it for a little something to peek through.<br /><br /> Third I replaced the apron of the Katie with an overskirt. This skirt gets it's billowy effect from several randomly placed pleats sewing in all directions. The final bit of lift on the left side is provided by several horizontal pleats held by shiny silver safety pins.</span></div>

<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: center;">
It's funny how creations take on a mind of their own. This started out Urban, but all the ruffles, plaid, leafy, and hay colored fabrics just called out to be Country.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> - I used the bodice from the Lazy Susan and made it reversible (you just can't see it in one shot!)<br /> - I used the sleeves from Pepper's Dress and added ruffles instead of trim.<br /> - I used the skirt from Pepper's Dress and added a ruffle.<br /> - I added sashes to the sides.<br /> - and the biggest challenge of all? I USED MUSTARD FABRIC!!!</span></div>
