Wednesday Weekly #69

Hi, makers! I'm getting a bit of the January blues these days, but I'm pushing through and already planning my sewing for Spring to distract myself! I can't wait to wear a dress with bare legs again..won't that be just the best? I know you sewists in the southern hemisphere are all BBQ's and beaches these days, and it is nice to be reminded that afternoons in the sunshine still exist! I seriously cannot wait. Wednesday Weekly Helens Closet News (clockwise from top left) Sew over it released the Nancy Dress, a swingin’ sixties silhouette. Swing must be in the air because Closet Case Files released Ebony, a great relaxed top and dress. Decades Of Style is on a roll this week with three new patterns! Check out the Baltimore Dress, the Sugar Coat, and the Isabella Dress. Orange lingerie released Esplanade, a new strapless bra pattern. All Style Arc PDF patterns are 30% off until Monday with the code AUSDAY30! sewingcommunitygives_results Community Events Sewing Community Gives wrapped up this week and the results were AH-MAZING!
