Announcement - Sew Colette
Please don't think that you need to be an advanced sewer to follow along. I am fairly new to garment sewing, I can probably count the number of different patterns I have used on one hand! With Sarah's knowledge, Colette's wonderfully designed patterns, and step by step instructions, I think we can do it! Just think, at the end of May we will have five nice garments to wear :)

Oh, hooray! I just got my own copy of the Colette Sewing Handbook, and I resolved to sew through the five patterns in 2012, too. All I could wish for was some like-minded ladies to sew with me, and here y'all are fulfilling that wish!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this, and best of luck!
Looking forward to it! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! What great idea! Not sure I can do all five but definitely the Licorice :)

ReplyDeleteHow fun! What a great idea. I won't be joining along but I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I can't wait to see how everyone does :) I literally just posted about my plans for a Meringue skirt and then saw this! Excited :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that so many of you will be joining along. I can't wait to see all the different variation on the same patterns! :)
ReplyDeleteI just realized y'all were doing this! I might join for a couple, as I plan to sew them all up, too. Meringue down, four to go!!!
