My Finished Jule

This is my finished piece for the Jule Sew-a-long. I finished it last week but only got around to blogging it today! I love the fabric - velour...my favourite fabric for this winter..oh wait...maybe Minky is - oh I cant decide! I had an "issue" with the hem - I was going to add the ruffle but then made an error so its a tad short - next time I might use matching poplin to make a less bulky ruffle (as was suggested to me by the lovely Sara).

TFL!

The Farbenmix Jule Sew-a-long

Sometimes attacking a new pattern can be a bit daunting and never more so when the instructions are in German!!! Farbenmix are a huge and wonderful range of Euro patterns and currently we are having a sew-a-long for the pattern Jule.

Its not exactly a cracking pace so people dont feel pushed to finish by a certain date! A thread in the forum enables us to chat about the pattern and ask questions of each other. There are also links to pattern translations and design examples.

Its a great way to get motivated and its awesome seeing everyone's finished work. Those participating are going to post some of their finished pieces in this blog!

Other a-long's we have done including knitting for charity and sewing Enid Gilchrist Patterns.

Its great fun - so come check it out at the Crafty Mamas forum...
