Sew-Alongs

You may be wondering, what’s a sew-along?

A Sew-Along is like a long-distance sewing meet-up. Like when two friends who live in different cities go see the same movie separately together, and then call each other to talk about it afterwards. It’s like that, but for sewing!

We all pick a pattern and fabric, and then I’ll post step-by-step photos of the sewing instructions. We’ll sew a little bit every day or so, and the posts will be there in case you work at a more relaxed pace. You can ask me questions along the way if you get stuck, and when it’s all done we each have a pretty, finished garment! The great part is that there’s a whole bunch of us doing it together. Ten (or twenty or thirty) sewing minds are better than one!

Here are links to past sew-alongs, finished projects and helpful tutorials!

January 2012, Minoru Jacket

The Minoru Jacket is a weekend jacket that features a secret hood hidden in a wide collar, zip front closure, and flattering elastic waistline. In this sew-along we covered a multitude of variations, from inseam pockets, using waterproof fabrics, and making a chain hanging loop!
