Flickr Group Features and a Winner

Some really amazing knock offs have made their way into the Knock it Off Flickr group and today it's my pleasure to feature a few of them.

House of Estrela made this adorable romper dress.  Make sure to click through to the post and you'll see it really is even cuter than the original.

Love this mini Boden knock off by Handmade Martini...and she made TWO!  What little boy wouldn't want one of these shirts?!

Handmade Frenzy made these super comfy & cute shorts.  Love those stripes!

I immediately recognized the inspiration for this Adore Handmade knock off.  It's this gorgeous gown made by Stefanie (girl.inspired.)

Compagnie M made this beautiful coat and even a free size 2 or 5 pattern to go with it!

I'm a big fan of Tea Collection clothing, and Fish Kopp re-created one of their dresses perfectly!

Thank you for sewing along and uploading your photos.  I'd like to feature even more, so keep the knock offs coming!
