This year Mena of the Sew Weekly has changed up the format of her blog. It’s now a group blog similar to We Sew Retro (which I wrote about in my last post). Anyone who has sewn up a garment for the weekly theme can write their own post. All of those posts get published into a community contributor section, and a few get selected as the feature of the day. I submitted my maxi dress for this week’s “You Can Do It” favorite sewn item from 2011 theme. And, I was delighted (to say the least) to see that Mena chose my post for today’s feature. Check out my full Sew Weekly post here.

Awesome! Congrats!
YAY! I saw your post! That is such an amazing dress and I absolutely love the pictures!!!
Thanks, Debi! Coming from someone who was front and center all year last year, that means a lot. Did you take the week off from sewing this week to relax from your crazy year last year? I hope you’re at least giving yourself some sort of break!
Congrats!! You totally deserve to be featured– it’s such a perfect dress! I hope you’re super proud of it (especially considering how much work you put into it)!
Congratulations, Amy. I also loved these photographs, too–beautiful light. I like new group blog at SW and am curious to see how it evolves! If there was any community that’d I’ve have fun with, it’d be Sew Weekly. I’ve hemmed and hawed several times about whether or not to join and post to group blogs and at this point feels too overwhelming on my time, but I find a lot of great bloggers through browsing them. (Discussion forums are even harder for me so I’ve decided to stick with just blogs this year–hobby-wise, I’m active in both a gardening and animal rescue forum and it all makes for a lot to keep up with!)
Anyway, just stopped by to say Happy New Year!
Congrats Amy! I was so excited to see a friendly face over on The Sew Weekly. And I LOVE the dress.
