I just spent a fantastic weekend at the International Quilt Market in Minneapolis surrounded by so many creative people. I heard that some people flew in from as far away as Australia, Japan, and Europe just to attend this event; all for the love of sewing and fabric. This social act of assembling for a common purpose has gotten me thinking about online sew-alongs and how this format has been described as the modern version of the sewing circle. It used to be that you had to live really close by and get together in person. But via the internet we can live anywhere in the world and still sew together and have a sense of community. Flying halfway across the world is not required. So it\u2019s super easy to join us, just grab your pattern, fabric, and sewing machine and you\u2019ll be good to go!<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s sewing along with us this week? If you\u2019d like any inspiration for fabrics for this project, have a peek over at the Butterfly Blouse + Skirt Round-up<\/a> where you\u2019ll see many versions sewn up in both the ruffle and cap sleeves. Also be sure to check out Liesl\u2019s heirloom Butterfly Blouse tutorial that will be featured on the blog this afternoon to learn one way of how to customize it.<\/p>\n

Here is the daily plan for this week’s Butterfly Blouse<\/a> sew-along:<\/p>\n

Day 1<\/strong> (today): get started, prepare the keyhole facing and the blouse back
\nDay 2<\/strong>: assemble the blouse
\nDay 3<\/strong>: finish the neckline
\nDay 4<\/strong>: prepare and attach the ruffle sleeve (view A), the cap sleeve (view B) and sew the side seams
\nDay 5<\/strong>: finish the armholes (view A) and the blouse<\/p>\n
