All Sew Along Posts
Lately I’ve noticed so many people who share their sewn items focusing on quantity over quality. I have always been one to strive for quality when sewing something, always working to achieve professional finishing. In college, this wasn’t any different, all of my samples were sewn up to my personal standards, which also grew at this time in my life.
Living in Seattle attending college for fashion design, we had major department stores that carried designer brands, and the finishing on this clothing is absolutely dreamy. One of my projects in college was examine and try on clothing at different price levels. I remember examining so many different designer pieces, and taking all the photos in the dressing room, oh and these pieces fit so much better than the low end pieces I tried on. This combined with all the techniques I learned in my industrial sewing classes, pushed me more to strive for quality and more detail in each piece I made.
For this sew along, we will be doing things a little differently than we have in past Phee Fabrics sew alongs. Each participant will choose their own pattern from one of our featured designers (see below), and sew up their own creation using Phee Fabrics. Videos with sewing techniques and tips will be posted throughout the sew along time period that may or may not pertain to your garment, but all will revolve around sewing a woven dress, tunic, or top.
1/24 – 2/3 with final garment due 2/10 giving you 3 full weekends from start to finish. Stay tuned next week for the specifics of the schedule and what is happening each day, as well as the rules for entering your garment for the grand prize and other prizes.
To find the posts on social media pertaining to the sew along including discount codes, search for the hashtag #PheeSlowSew. During the sew along, you can also use this hashtag on social media platforms as you document your progress.
To join the sew along on Facebook, you can follow along in the Phee Fabrics Sew Along group. In this group, there will be a post for each featured designer where you can post specifics pertaining to your pattern.
