Sewing Challenge

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the sewing challenge that has been going on over at the Muse of the Day and Possibilities blogs. Carolina and Alicia decided to sew the tunic dress from Sew Serendipity and post their findings as they went along. I am thrilled to say that they have both finished their dresses AND they fit! They are both very pleased with the results. Both are new sewers, so I am even happier that the tips and instruction I gave in the book helped them to be so successful. This is just what I wanted the book to be able to do....provide excellent instruction for people new to sewing and still satisfy the needs of the more experienced too!


Be sure to visit both blogs for more information on just how it all went with Carolina and Alicia on their respective blogs. I was especially moved by Carolina's post, as she does a comparison between making a muslin and traveling to a downtown area that is unfamiliar, but how with careful planning it can become a wonderful means of discovery. I certainly could not say it better myself, and coming from a happy customer makes it all the more special! Thanks to these two special ladies who decided to take this sewing journey!

On another note, be sure to check out our fan page on Facebook if you haven't already. Lots of happy customers are posting their projects and I try to add photos from various happenings around here pretty often. Don't miss out on all the fun!

Happy Sewing!!

That picture (above) is the LAST thing I expected to see when visiting your blog, WOW at least I was decently dressed!
Kay, it was my pleasure to sew from your book. I'll have you know that after I was all done with that dress, I posted it on my blog, then went right back to your book to decide on the next project to sew. Someday, somewhere, I will get to meet you. It is then that I will get to thank you in person and you will see in my face just how much I have enjoyed the product of all your hard work. Carolina

I have just purchased your book and I LOVE it. Such sweet, but wearable clothes! And I love mixing prints, so this was sort of made for me. ;)

I'll be giving a copy away on my blog in the next few days. I hope it would be OK if I use some pictures from the book when I post about it?
