So, with the Sew Sexy Sew Along coming to a close on Monday, April 14, I thought it was worth giving a little update.
A few projects cropped up on line this week. First, one of my co-hosts, Wanett of Sown Brooklyn, has posted her final project. Isn't she divine in houndstooth?
I love that houndstooth isn't normally a fabric that one would consider sexy, but that her fitted skirt and cropped top are so fun and playful. Hot!
And here is Suzanne's sexy top:
Suzanne actually wrote the original post in 2013 that inspired the sew along. I love her polkadot and sheer fun!
Lee of the Slow Steady got in on the action with some fundies!
And Seamstress Erin made an awesome ceylon...
So, where do I stand.... Well, I had planned to wear my Sew Sexy Dress to the Craft Industry Happy Hour tonight. But alas, when I went to sew on the sleeves, I realized I had made a major blunder. Illusion net looks the same on both sides and I mistakenly sewed (serged) together two right sleeves. And I didn't have enough fabric for a re-do. Doh!
So my dress is still not quite finished.
But - lucky me - I have all weekend to get this thing done! Like you do too!
If you are sewing something sexy, let us know when you are finished!

I have not forgotten this! I've just been sidetracked. I assume I can post a bit late? My hope is to sew something this weekend. It's been so long since I've had a chance to!
Of course! We're not so stringent about the rules here. Actually there are not really any rules, just sort of guidelines. ;-)
So sorry about your sleeves. I did the samething with a flannel shirt. Duh!
UGH!! I fuck up with sleeves way too often!! I love that lace! I hope you're able to finish!
