We admit it: we LOVE the television show Project Runway. We are inspired by all of the gorgeous designs and enjoy trying to create runway looks of our own.
We were most excited about our Project Runway challenge that Siena's mom and dad created for us. "Tim Gunn" (Siena's mom!) announced our challenge: "iCarly" (our model) would be attending a 1960s-themed party and it was up to us to create her gown! We had a half-hour to research and sketch her outfit and an hour to make a finished garment.
First we did a little research on fashion in the 1960s. We found that bright colors, like pink, purple and bright blue were very fashionable. Our design for iCarly was inspired by flower children and "hippie" styles. 
Siena was responsible for using the sewing machine and sewing the garments. Julie did most of the fitting and styling.
As our time limit came near, we learned that there was a twist! We had to create a "dog-a-licious" costume for iCarly's dog! We only had 15 minutes left! Siena had a plan: she decided to re-sew a cape we were making for iCarly and use it instead for her dog. Siena added a button and a button-hole, and a bright blue flower that matched iCarly's dress.
With no time spare (and a few extra minutes), we walked the runway:
The judges were impressed!

it is so, so, so sixties and Carly would be thrilled to wear it. Heidi Klum says "I loved it and want one for myself."
Nina Garcia says: "sixties, yet completely fashion forward. Thank you for NOT boring me."
Tim Gunn exclaimed, "You made it work. Well done!"
