Flipping Over This News!

So, I have a really exciting announcement to make!! I am just "flipping" over here to share this awesome news! The lovely ladies, Emily and Ashley, who blog over at Frances Suzanne are running a year long sewing series called Flip This Pattern and I am going to be competing in it!!! AHHH!!! So awesome!!!

 

 

I was jumping out of my seat when I read the email last month asking if I'd like to sign up for this series. Me!? Really?! Umm yes of course! Have you seen the awesome creations these ladies come up with for their nieces? Of course I would want to be a part of a series that they created! And the line up of bloggers that they have is incredible! I am still in shock that I will be participating with all these talented women. Just check out the list below and you will understand why I am so excited:

See what I mean? I am super excited that I will be competing against and sewing along with these amazingly talented bloggers. And also a little intimidated - not gonna lie!

 

The whole premise of the series is to take a pattern and "flip" it. Make it your own in a way through fabric choice or embellishments. And the patterns are all amazing. They really don't need any flipping as they can be made just how they are written and still be awesome. Here is the list of patterns and the month they are going to be featured:

E & E Patterns |oliver + s |StraightGrain

|Pattern Anthology 

Figgy's |Peek-A-Boo Pattern Shop | Shwin Designs | Clever Charlotte 

Violette Field Threads | Blank Slate Patterns |Heidi & Finn | The Cottage Mama

 

 

Every pattern listed is so awesome and I can't wait to sew up Figgy's Sunki Tunic and Leggings! So while I'm not competing until October, I already have a billion ideas and a secret Pinterest board dedicated to inspiration for this pattern. Can you tell I'm excited?!

 

Not only will you be able to follow along and see what the participants are creating, there will be a sew along linky party as well. So don't just sit back and watch, get your machines ready so you can participate in the fun and don't forget to grab a button!
