Summer wouldn't be summer without sewing along with Ali and Alessa! I have so enjoyed the past two years of the Summer Essential Sew-Along (SESA), that it just wouldn't feel like summer unless I was creating along with two of my favourite bloggers!
This year, Ali has hatched a genius reinvention of SESA: the Summer Spark Sew-Along:
1 MONTH:
In the month of June, sew one fabulous garment that you plan on strutting all summer.
1 GARMENT:
In the month of June, sew one fabulous garment that you plan on strutting all summer.
1 GARMENT:
Your choice! What's the most wonderful thing you'd like to wear again
and again this summer? A pair of linen palazzo pants? A shoulder-bearing
sundress? A swishy skirt? A floaty top? Why not make it now and flaunt it 'til the days get shorter?
1 GREAT LIST:
We'll be posting photos of our finished garments in a Flickr group and, at the end of the month, we'll tally up all the fabulous patterns in a list to serve as inspiration to all. One person's amazing garment could spark another's summer sewing—in July, the season's still young, after all!
1 FABULOUS PRIZE:
All folks who have uploaded a photo of their finished garment by July 4 (a few extra days for good measure!) will be entered into my giveaway for 2.5 YARDS OF SUMMERY COOL SEERSUCKER, to be shipped worldwide! You could also win an indie sewing pattern of your choice from Ali!

I don't have a blog but I'm in. This will be my first sew-along.
Ah, this is the kind of sew-along I can get behind! "One month, one garment" means I don't feel like I have to get bogged down in over-planning. Yay, summer sewing!
Hooray! This is going to be fun!
I"M SO IN!!!!
now to figure out my june garment.....
So excited!
I would love to have a go...especially as I failed to make any worthwhile contribution to the Hollywood challenge and that I seem to have lost my sewing motivation at the moment so it might get me going again!
As I said on Ali's blog, I'm IN! Love this idea!
I love sewalongs, I'm in. A linen jacket or a Cambie dress?
Yay, I'm so looking forward to sewing along with you all!
What a cool idea! I'm in!
Sounds fun!
I'm thinking wrap dress at the moment.
I have grabbed the button and I think this is exactly what I need motivation-wise to get sewing that dress I wanted to try. Looking forward to it!
I am definitely in. Just need to get the badge to show on my page and my flick to allow me back in :)
Woohoo! SESA 2012! I´m soo in! :-)
I'm in! :) My first international group sewing project. :) I'll add the button later on my blog. :)
