Welcome to The Sew and Tell Project!
I am beyond thrilled to be today’s stop on the Art Gallery Fabrics Blithe Blog Tour. If you follow me (@elerihandmade) on Instagram, you have probably seen some of my Blithe fabric sneaks like this one!
A few days ago, I started a link-up for Project Run and Play contestants from Season 12 (and anyone else who sewed along) to share what we learned during the contest. I think all of us are getting back into the groove of regular sewing and blogging after the intense competition. Tami from SewSophieLynn and Miranda from Inspinration have both shared their lovely thoughts in our “Things I Learned During PRP” Link-Up that is open through tomorrow!
The Sew and Tell Project team is still smiling from our “tied for second place” finish in Season 12 of Project Run and Play! Congratulations to Jessica from Gracious Threads for her well-deserved first-place finish!
We enjoyed making new friends during the competition and thought it would be fun to link-up with one another to share some of our “behind the scenes” Project Run and Play sewing stories. Since we are all busy bloggers (some of us still catching up from the month-long sewing spree) we have opened a link-up to share our stories as we are able! If you sewed along during Season 12 feel free to join in sharing your stories as well! We are so thankful to the team at Project Run and Play for organizing this friendly competition to inspire all of us who love to sew!
The Sew and Tell Project team is absolutely thrilled to have won Week 3 with Emily’s amazing Zorro ensemble and make it to the 4th and final round of Project Run & Play. We have loved connecting with the other contestants, challenging ourselves, and working to bring great new ideas and inspiration to our little corner of blog land. Make sure you visit Project Run & Play right now to vote! Voting closes on Thursday October 6th at 8 PM MST.
Hello and thanks for stopping by! It is hard to believe that it is already week 3 of Project Run & Play! This week’s challenge was to create a costume – which is perfect because Halloween is right around the corner. I’m delighted to share these Zorro and Victoria costumes with you. Please make sure you click over to Project Run & Play so you can vote!
Zorro is a favorite around here and we love the TV series – both the Disney one with Guy Williams from the 1950’s and this newer one from the 1990’s with Duncan Regehr. The costume for this lovely little senorita was modeled after the spunky Victoria in the newer series.
I was excited when I found out that autumn was the theme for the second week of competition in Project Run + Play. It’s my favorite time of year! I was able to mix some of my very favorite elements into a stylish and super fun outfit for my tween daughter. Tweens are so hard to sew for. They’re picky, for one, and have developed their own sense of style. In addition, this age category, somewhere in between a girl’s and a woman’s shape, is so underserved by pattern designers. Patterns don’t fit well and are often either too old or too young in style. I’ve become pretty adept at modifying patterns to fit better, and definitely at choosing patterns that will suit her for both size and sensitivity. Even though I sometimes have to use adult patterns, she’s still my baby, and she still loves the things her mama makes her.
Hello! And thanks for stopping by! This past week and a half has been full of so much sewing and I’ve been bursting to share my creations with you. Project Run & Play has been such a wonderful challenge and so much fun! Week one’s challenge was to create children’s clothing inspired by Pokemon.
Be sure to head over to Project Run & Play and vote for the Sew and Tell Project so we can continue to be competitors for week two!
