It’s that time again – maxi dress sewalong! I’m always super excited for these because I love maxi dresses and sewalongs! Happy Summer!
Ashley from Sewn By Ashley and I are hosting the sewalong this year and everyone is invited (and encouraged) to participate! You don’t need a blog and it doesn’t matter your sewing expertise. We also have some great sponsors:
LA Finch Fabrics has offered a $50 gift card to one of drawing winners. I’m super jealous I can’t win this myself! I’m loving their selection and fabrics.
By Hand London has offered up a free pattern to a random drawing winner. Free patterns are the best and these girls know how to draft a cute dress!
If you’d like to display a badge on your blog, use the above image. Look for inspiration ideas from Ashley and I in the coming weeks. Below are some rules and information, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!
What is considered a maxi dress? A dress that falls to the ankles.
Will there be a winner? At the end of the sewalong, Ashley will draw two winners live on her Instagram. No contest or judging, just sheer luck!
Who can participate? Everyone and everyone! You can submit your photos of your dress by using the hashtag #maxsewalong2017 on Instagram, by posting photos to the Facebook group, or you can e-mail me directly. Whatever you feel most comfortable with! If you do a blog post for your maxi, please let Ashley or I know, we love to see your makes!
Time frame: The sewalong will run from July 1st to July 27th (my birthday), be sure to send in your picture by noon on July 27, 2017 (EST)!
Why? For the fun of it! I love seeing all your makes, so much inspiration!
Rules: Dress must be for you. It has to be made within the time frame above. You can use any pattern you wish or draft your own. Adding embellishments to a current maxi dress will not count. The dress can be as formal or casual as you want. You have to submit pictures of your finished dress. I know taking pictures of your self can be uncomfortable, so you definitely don’t have to be wearing the dress in the photos – but it makes it more fun!
Social Media: Use hashtag #maxisewalong2017 on social media to see what everyone else is up to. Post inspiration and progress photos for everyone to see.
