It sounds like many of you are excited for the Amy Butler Sew Along…you have TONS of time to join in, just click here for more info!

I also wanted to announce the winner of the random giveaway for the Amy Butler Spice Market Tote pattern…

#97 Jennspen! Congratulations!

I noticed some super-speedy sewers already out there who have already finished up their Sew Along projects! You do have until September 14th to finish, when we’ll be having a linky party with fun prizes!

Hourglass Pillow by Emilie

Emilie made this beautiful pillow from the free Hourglass Pillow Cover pattern from Amy Butler’s website. She used Anna Maria Horner Loulouthi fabric…I think it looks divine, and so professional! She’s hoping to make up another pillow before the Sew Along ends.

Blossom Bag from http://adamandtori.blogspot.com/2011/01/amy-butler-blossom-bag.html

At least half of you let me know that you were making the free Blossom Bag pattern from the Sew Mama Sew website. This is a great pattern, so modern and stylish! Others are making some Amy Butler clothing, a bag, or one of the other projects. I invite you to pop on over to the Flickr Group to discuss your pattern choices, or if you have any questions along the way, since many of us will be working on the same project.

22 (count ’em, 22!) Origami Bags from the Style Stitches Book, made by Bree from my-crafty-crap.blogspot.com

So get out your pattern and fabric and join us for the Amy Butler Sew Along! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
