Wednesday Weekly #99

Happy Wednesday! This week I am feeling super jazzed about the podcast and my upcoming pattern projects! I am also totally feeling like I am ready for some cooler fall weather and I'm planning my fall and winter sewing! Are you starting to think about your next makes? I think I want to focus on some sewing challenges this season. It will likely mean fewer items sewn, but tackling more complex projects like jeans, a raincoat, and maybe even a few bras! I can't wait to get started. Wednesday Weekly #99 News (clockwise from top left) Jennifer Lauren Handmade released the Mayberry Dress. Sew Sin City released two new patterns, the Dana tanga panty and the Brittnee thong panty. Community The Unfinished Seamstress is running an instagram contest!
