It's the tenth Wednesday Weekly! When I started this blog back in June of this year, I knew I wanted to do a weekly sewing blog roundup to help share the many makes that inspire me to keep sewing, and as a way to give something back to this amazing community. Thanks to everyone for reading, following, liking, and commenting on my posts so far, it truly has been a wonderful experience becoming a sewcialist!

The winners were announced for The Refashioners 2015, head on over to Portia’s blog to check out these amazing makes.
Kelli from True Bias has released a new pattern! I just finished making her Hudson Pant and Sutton Blouse, so I have no doubt this pattern will be excellent quality and design. Congrats, Kelli!
The
Orla top made it's debut this morning over on Tilly and the Buttons. I love the way the seams shape this blouse, so unique and the effect is lovely!
Makes:
Christy made a really fun apron style dress out of some incredible fabric. I love the way she chose to place the pattern, it is always so hard to choose with larger prints.
Rachael’s green button front skirt is such a great fall staple. I really need to make some basic skirts like this….but it is so hard to resist choosing a print!
Sunni’s
wool wrap dress is a nice twist on a wrap dress. The more structured fabric gives the dress a whole new feel.
I love Amanda’s tropical printed party frock, and sewed under pressure too! Very impressive.
Ginger’s vest is absolutely fabulous! I love vests so much, especially in fall. I’ll have to sew one soon….
Tasha's
fall wrap dress looks really stunning, I love the colour and the decorative stitching.

faux flatlocked seams. Perfect for people like me who don’t have a serger or coverlock machine….yet!
Inspiration:
This
collection of color palettes based on photos was in my inbox today as a promotion piece for a stock photo site I use for work. I really love seeing photos broken down into colour palettes, the results are so inspiring and fun!
