A Year In Review: Favorite SIA Challenges Of 2021

Let’s start the week of 2021 round-ups with the usual – my favorite SIA challenges of the year. This year we have a new co-host, Terri, and she brought a lot of fun and unusual pieces to the challenge. Some of my favorite challenges this year are hosted by her:

Like this one, inspired by John Copley’s portrait of Paul Revere:

Or this one, inspired by a soundsuit by Nick Cave:

Or this “Simultaneous Dress” one, inspired by Sonia Delaunay:

My other co-host, Daenel, has some amazing picks too, though hers are more classic, such as this summery one, inspired by a Georgia O’Keeffe painting:

This one, inspired by a portrait by Robert Henri, because it allows me to wear my waistcoat:

And this one, which gives me a chance to try out a proper 1940s look:

The favorite challenges I hosted are the ones where I not only like my own outfits, but everybody did such a great job too, such as this one, inspired by Pierre Bonnard’s “Woman with a Dog“:

Or this, inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli’s “Cravat Jumper“:

Or this Solar System quilt one:

Overall, it’s been a great year of SIA challenges. It’s difficult to pick just a few favorites. Come back on Monday, January 3rd, and we’ll ring in 2022 with a new challenge!
