I’m thinking/planning/scheming a School Days Jacket sew-a-long on my blog. This is a pattern I bought in paper a long time ago, and even though I live in Southern California and have no need for the jacket, I really want to tackle it. I’ve participated in a couple of other sew-a-longs recently, and it’s a really good kick in the butt to start something you’ve been putting off for a while.

Anyone want to sew along with me?

I’m going to break it up into sections – I was thinking 7 days of sewing. I’d love some volunteers to contribute. If you’d like to send me an email at janiceharris4839 at gmail dot com.

I was thinking of running this the first week of October. I’m hoping that won’t conflict with most people’s crazy Halloween sewing!

And, did I mention that I’ll have prizes? Yes, I’ll have some prizes too….

Sounds like fun and Caspian needs a new coat this year! Count me in!

I have not made a School Days Jacket either. A sew-a-long is just what I need. Count me in!

[with love Heidi]

I’ve got the pattern, it’s even stuck together and partially traced! Count me in 🙂

[Deb]

Count me in too!

Yay! Once I get it figured out, I’ll post a link to my blog. See, now I have to make the jacket!!

[Nicole]

Sounds great, I want to make one for Trixie!

[Nicole]

Love your ~wiggles~ Deb.

OMG Nicole – one for Trixie!!?? How unbelievably adorable would that be?? (Glad you’re feeling better BTW).

I’ll be watching and reading along, but with Spring around the corner and so many other projects in the queue I really can’t see myself making one. You, however, will all be delighted with yourselves as it really is a wonderful pattern. Have fun.

I have been wanting to make this and could use a sew-along. But I think I said that about the school photo dress one and didn’t actually do it so….. I hope?

[Tamara]

Yep! I’m in. Making a mini one!

I’ve finished Audrey’s already, unfortunately. I’ll enjoy watching everyone else’s though!

Can’t wait to see Nicole and Tamara’s mini versions!

I would love to do this, and have been planning to sew this pattern as soon as I can. However I will have a little new born by then so i’m not sure I’ll be able to make that commitment to the sewing. I would watch and see how it’s going and use the tips and instructions later though!

[Tamara]

Oh oh! Can you jump ahead and do one sooner? Make one for baby before it arrives? Mine isn’t due until late December so that is what I plan to do. Pity if you don’t have the time before though – we won’t hold it against you and hopefully it will be more than inspiring so that when you get around to sewing your version you will,be brimming with ideas.
