I've been toying with the idea of hosting a clothing sew-along for a while now. I specifically want to cater towards quilters who might want to expand their sewing skills into some clothing for themselves. I'd like to tackle a pattern together and demystify some of that weird clothing pattern language for you!

Fall is right around the corner for anyone who doesn't live in Florida, so I'm looking to make some clothing that can straddle the summer/fall season line. I'd like to sew-along in October. I have put together a list of possible options for a clothing sew-along [see pictures and links above]. If you say to yourself "I can sew a perfect 1/4" seam allowance and FMQ the crap out of a flat piece of fabric, but buttonholes and 3D sewing gives me the heebie jeebies," then this might be the perfect opportunity.
Please take a moment to fill out the survey if you're interested in sewing some clothing along with me so that I might know where to go from here. The pictures of the finished product are above, and are in the same order. Thanks!
Great idea! I voted. I also want to make the washi dress.
ReplyDeleteI would totally be up for this if I wasn't already taking a dress making course in October! I will be watching with interest though :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Thanks Rebecca
ReplyDeleteI sew clothes sporadically, but I'd love to sew along!
