The Georgia Sew Along 1

So, I have been really looking forward to joining in with a live sew along and then By Hand London Announces that they are running their Georgia sew along starting the 27th January 2014.

This stylish dress has the advantage that there are three packet variations available and a completely strap-free option that the team at By Hand will also be offering as we go along.

The pattern has now been purchased and a lot of my time is currently being spent perusing the internet searching for the fabric (and when I say the fabric, read THE fabric, you know, like THE one.  The fabric choice will be determined ultimately by whether I want a dress for best or something that I can wear more frequently.  Decisions, decisions.

The idea of sewing along with a group of others has massive appeal for me.  I'm hoping that this level of detail and guidance will keep me motivated and ensure I end up with a well crafted, wearable outfit.  I feel a bit like a kid waiting for Christmas, there's anticipation and excitement balling about in my tummy and I'm wishing away my life.
