Coral Bunny Jess used a summery Rifle Paper Co. fabric to make a cold-shoulder \”vacation\” dress and has a great, comprehensive review of the pattern she used, the Lily Sage and Co. Chloe dress. She also made a great floral version of the new McCall\’s off-shoulder top 7543, which I passed on last trip to JoAnn and need to go back and get, obviously.
This Belle-inspired yellow Emery dress is my favorite thing SaraJolie has ever made–it\’s absolutely perfect and doesn\’t she look just like a princess? *heart eyes emoji x100*
German-language blog PeterSilie&Co made a great mix-and-match set of zebra print retro separates.
Lara Liz is back with more perfectly practical separates, this time, a nautical anchor-print Bonn shirt. She\’s been sewing the whole Indiesew Fall collection which I think is so smart–Allie over at Indiesew puts so much thought and love into those collections to make sure they\’re like a pre-fab capsule.
Mahlica Designs\’s maxi kimono-sleeve dress looks so comfortable–you could make a whole closet full of this pattern and wear it for everything from a beach cover-up to a dinner date. She also made a super-cute pajamas set with short and long sleeves and shorts and pants. Smart!
Tenille\’s Thread contributed several makes again this month–she\’s a quick sew! I can never tell if Named\’s Sointu kimono top would look good on me but it looks great on her in a simple black ponte knit, She also made another kimono-sleeve tunic dress using a different version than the one Melissa used for a totally different look!
Diane\’s mint green \”secret pajamas\” dress has me swooning–perfect fit, a unique hem, and statement sleeves, all plus perfect stitching?? Ah-mazing.
Lara made her fourth Dove blouse (my favorite one so far, I think) in a pretty navy floral and those glam bell sleeves… love them.
This gingham shirt refashion from Crafty Disaster Lindsay is so cute! I always love a peplum. Her McCall\’s mix-and-match set has allll the flounces–perfect for spring and so on trend.
Stevie of BeeBee\’s Handmade Dress made a gorgeous cobalt blue bra and undies set using the new Harriet bra from Cloth Habit. So lovely–even if the fit isn\’t quite there yet!
Liz-o-matic made her second (but not final) Moneta dress in a navy and kelly green combination that I love.
Hoopes Park Studio made a sweet summer pattern-hack dress in a navy floral that she designed herself. Um, so cool.
Seamracer linked up a soon-to-be-blogged 60s dress in an amazing border print rayon… I can\’t wait to see more of it! She also has a clever rag curl tutorial on her blog and you will never guess what she uses to make perfect curls.
Emily made a cool retro zip front dress in a beautiful bright aqua using a pattern from Gertie\’s casual book.
Thank you all so, so much for participating in the past year of the Social Sew with me. I really appreciate every who linked up their projects, from the simplest tee shirt to the amazing dresses. I really hope I introduced you to some new favorites… I know I found some myself! And don\’t forget about these other sewalongs/monthly sewing challenges to fill that Social Sew-sized gap. I\’ll see you in the links!
xoxo,
I LOVE that Rifle Paper Co fabric above! Thank you so much for putting these Social Sews together! It's been fun to try new things and see what others have been doing too. And as always, thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement!
Thanks so much Allie for adding me to the round up! I'm just sorry I didn't discover Social Sew until the last edition. Thank you for running it. I definitely found a lot of new inspirations!
Thank you so much for sharing! I am sad it is over. I hope you do something new to replace it. I like seeing all these posts about projects from people with some of the same style as me! Lots of good inspiration. Thanks again 🙂
