Project Highlights: February 9th - 23rd, 2024 Edition

 

This is a Leap Year, every four years at the end of February, we are given an extra day.  What are you going to do during your extra day?  Perhaps spend the day sewing?  Let us know in our comments below so we can help inspire eachother! 

Project Highlights is a compilations of members' reviews that caught my eye from our Review Gallery, from the past two weeks and bring into the spotlight.  With so many talented sewists it is always such a daunting task to pick just a few. We just hope that you get inspired by others just like you from our community, to write up your own review!

 

Beautiful costumes/dresses

Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Dress

We are all excited about the 50th Anniversary of the release of the iconic Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Dress. Vogue Patterns re-issued the exact pattern and our members were quick to show off their style.

Interesting to see that Vogue has reissued the Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress, shows that classics are still very much in style! I wonder what other patterns they could re-issue which would still be popular?

I always look forward to these reviews. Great job everyone! On leap day, I will probably have coffee with friends in the morning and then either sew or knit.

Always inspiration from PR and February was no exception! The 29th sounds like a good day to fabric shop. :)

All the makes for February look wonderful. On the 29th, I will be at Sew Expo in Puyallup, WA. I hope to meet Whitney from TomKat Stitchery YouTube there.
