 Each year, Threads Magazine challenges the members of the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals to be innovative, creative and think "outside the box". The annual Challenge is a juried competition. After blind judging, the winning designers are announced at the ASDP National Educational Conference, and later published in Threads Magazine. The Challenge is open to ASDP members only. Here are some of the past challenges: 2010 Challenge: Suit Your StyleFor 2010, Threads Magazine challenged the members of the Association of Sewing and Design Professionals to redesign the same pattern. Each entrant used Vogue 2898. The challenge was to take that pattern to a new dimension.  Entrants were invited to change the design by adding or subtracting seams. Change the hemline, modify the sleeves, draft structural changes or adaptations to the pattern. Modify the design ease, the closure techniques, the understructure, the entire silhouette. Show your design and patterning skills by taking a classic over the top. Choose any pieces from the pattern but make a complete ensemble.
