Join the Ice Cream Social SewAlong!
Join the Ice Cream Social SewAlong!
How fun is this? The Ice Cream Social SewAlong is co-hosted by (Fabric Shoppers Unite sponsor) Oliver + S and Australian independent retailer BadSkirt. The concept is simple: you sign up to take part in a sew-along during the last two weeks in July in which you stitch, step-by-step, Oliver + S’ Ice Cream Social dress. Over 200 sewers have already sighed up to take part! There’s also a fabulous Flickr group, where you can see other sewers fabric selections and progress.
What are you waiting for? Head over to your favorite independent fabric or quilt shop, pick up the Ice Cream Social dress pattern and your fabric & get ready for the SewAlong!
