The Jamie/Marissa Sew-A-Long Wrap-up!

If you have been reading the blog you know that we have had a Jamie/Marissa sew-a-long going on recently! We had our lovely seamstresses add their pictures to an album in our facebook group and then everyone had 2 weeks to get a picture loaded into the album to be eligible for a prize, this time around the prize was a 3pattern pack! (Winner picked by random.org)

I LOVED every one of the gorgeous entries in our sew-a-long album!!!! (As you can see by the awesomeness below there is a reason random picks our winner!). 

We had 81 GORGEOUS entries and here are just a few of them :) I absolutely love how this pattern looks great on everyone, little girls and ladies from xs to 3xl!  

Both the Jamie (womens) and Marissa (kids/tween) dress patterns can be found in our Etsy shop 

Terri's entry in beautiful butterfly print

Amanda's Jamie, I love how elegant this one looks, she's ready for a yacht!

Brianne keeping it summery fun in plaid 

 Bridgette rocking her Jamie is gorgeous Jennifer Paganelli fabric!

Candace made 2 Jamies in the sew-a-long!!! I can't decide which I like better the maxi length or the knee length!
 

Cara made this gorgeous Jamie, I just love the fabric choice! 

Chaiki just looks lovely in her Jamie, I love the soft colours on her! 

Cori made this Jamie for her sister!! (Lucky sister!)  

And then she made herself a Jamie too! the blue is lovely! 

Courtney made her little one this adorable Princess themed Marissa! I know my girl would be jealous! 

Crystal made a mother daughter matching set! I just love mother daughter matching! (I also love her use of fabric and fabric placement!) 

Darcie extended the front waistband around and decided "hems are for suckers" haha! LOVE this fabric choice as well! 

I LOVE the herringbone print Davette choose for her Jamie! 

Denise made this lovely Jamie, in a print that is too die for! 

I love how summer fun this chevron looks in this Jamie by Diana 

Gena was one of the first to get her Jamie completed,  doesn't she look just lovely in it !  

Love the pink and grey Heather! 

I just love the use of different prints with a solid that Jaqueline did! She is ready for date night I say! 

I will admit pink is my favourite colour, and this Marissa really showcases why! Great work Jane!

Janelle choose a lovely blue for her Jamie :) 

I love how classic this Marissa by Jo is!

 Now you won't believe this, but this is the first selfish sew that Kari has done!!! Love the piping detail on the waistband!

These next two were made by Lisa, 2 Jamies and 2 completely different looks!

Next we have 3 dresses by  Naomi! One for each daughter and one for herself! 


Great job Naomi!!! 

Nin's Jamie is certianly one i want in my closet! The tiny little butterflies and this gorgeous blue just make her Jamie have that wow factor! (and she was even brave enough to include a zipper shot) Lovely construction!
 I love the soft summery colours Rachel choose for her dress!

 Rachel made a beautiful maxi length Jamie! We were all swooning over the Jamie in maxi length over at the Lab!

Rebecca made her daughter a dress in gorgeous blues and florals! Lucky girl!

Shannon ready to go out in her Jamie! Love it! 

Tera made 2 Jamies for the sew a long - and this linen one was the winner! 

and here she is rocking her floral one! I swoon over this fabric! and she is looking lovely as always! 

Lastly, this gorgeous Jamie by Jill! I ADORE this fabric!!! If you are a wedding photographer or know one you really MUST make her this Jamie!



So there you have it! If you were on the fence about this pattern or thought it might not suit you i think it is safe to say it looks GREAT on everyone! 

Thanks so much to everyone for participating in the sew-a-long!!!!! We will be having another sew-a-long towards the end of August so keep your eyes peeled for that announcement!
