2015 Keep Making Stuff Monthly Challenge

[thefanninator]

I've messaged a few others about this & want to invite any & all who want to participate in a monthly project. 1 new project every month for all of 2015.

Each month we'll use one of the patterns Tom has shared (Thanks Tom!) on the Patterns & Templates forum. The pattern will be announced on the 1st of each month.

No hard and fast rules except to follow the pattern (should be close but not exact) and share pictures & details of your finished project by the end of the month.

The goal of the monthly project is to "Keep Making Stuff", push your skills, learn new techniques and get better. It's not a competition, no prizes, except someone will choose the pattern for the following month.

I'll post a link to the 1st pattern January 1, 2015.

I'm in. I tried to keep up some monthly challenges about 2 years ago, then life kicked me where it hurts..... I haven't been doing much leather work SINCE then, so it's fitting that I pick up leather challenges as I start living again....

or....

In response to the "challenge" aspect.......Bring it!

This is a good idea.

[Hi Im Joe]

I'm in. Can't wait to get started!

[MonicaJacobson]

Sounds fun! It's always challenging making a pattern someone else chooses.

[Charliewz]

Good idea, challenging. I'm in.

I'm pretty new to the leather world but that sounds like a fun way to learn, I'm in

[Hi Im Joe]

I'm not sure how you guys and gals feel about this but what about after all the submissions are in we and the forum vote for a "winner?"

We could do a poll just for fun? Maybe it will add just a bit of a competitive edge?

[MonicaJacobson]

I'm not opposed to the idea. I don't mind losing to you lotsa'wallet makers.

That's fine with me. The "Favorite" can choose the next pattern.
