Happy Monday! Today is the day the winner of the Gallery Tunic + Dress<\/a> sew-along is announced.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to report that the sew-along was a huge success! Many of you participated and entered your fantastic garments into the contest. Over the weekend our panelists: Carmen<\/a>, Kristi<\/a>, Lori<\/a>, Rachel<\/a>, and Sara<\/a> had a look at all of the entries to determine who would be the winner of the contest. Are you ready?<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Kara<\/a>, you are the winner of the $50 gift certificate to the Oliver + S website! Happy shopping and happy sewing! She sewed herself a dress using chambray<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

From our panelists: “Her choice of fabric makes the dress very versatile even if the chambray makes the design a bit more structured. Feels inspired by a traditional men’s shirt but still very feminine.”
\n“Kara\u2019s is neat and crisp and something I definitely would wear, summer or winter with nice boots.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Our panelists also loved several other tunics and dresses and we wanted to highlight some of those as well.<\/p>\n

Lee<\/a> made a tunic in milk white linen.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

From our panelists: “Love it in white linen! Beautifully simple.”<\/em>
\n “Lee’s linen version makes me think of summertime. Great wardrobe builder and well executed.”<\/em>
\n “It\u2019s an awesome combination of pattern and fabric. It\u2019s a great effortless summer chic make.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cate<\/a> sewed up a lovely tunic using shirting fabric.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

From our panelists: “I was impressed with Cate’s attention to detail. From pattern matching a busy fabric to grading between sizes for a good fit, this finished tunic is beautiful.”<\/em>
\n “With spring on the way, this fabric is so wonderful and the tunic has a great fit.”<\/em>
\n “Fun and bright!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Have a look at what Jessamy<\/a> created!
\n
\n\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

From our panelists: “I love the smaller bias contrast gingham.”<\/em>
\n “Gingham is always one of my favorites and the use of of two sizes of gingham is an ingenious idea.”<\/em>
\n “Another perfect paring of fabric and pattern. Very neatly done.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Meg<\/a> sewed a lovely dress.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

From our panelists: “Meg has a lovely eye for colour and print. Her version is just gorgeous. I would totally steal it.<\/em>
\n “My favorite dress. Love the fabric. Looks perfect for work.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alexis<\/a> created a sleeveless version.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

One of our panelists noted: “I love how Alexis made her Gallery Tunic sleeveless, what a fun, floral layering piece she has added to her wardrobe.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a lovely linen dress created by Lori<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

One of our panelists added: “I love the contrast fabric on the placket and sleeves. This is such a great way to add interest to a solid colored garment!”<\/em><\/p>\n

And a tunic with contrasting topstitching made by Carrie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

One of our panelists said: “Carrie’s bold contrasting topstitching was a brave choice, but it paid off! The overall fit and finish of this top looks clean and professional.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A special thanks to our panelists for judging the entries. And a big thank you to all those who sewed along! We enjoyed seeing what everyone created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
