And what cover would that be? Why it's....
Back in August I received an email from the editor of Sew Stylish asking if I would like to be one of the designers for their article, one garment in three versions. The only problem that I had was that I was going out of town and I only had a week to get the project finished. Well, it was make it happen time as I couldn't pass up such a wonderful opportunity. I quickly decided what I would like to do, submitted my idea and my fabric choice. It was all accepted and I was off and running.
Just a few weeks ago I received a proof of the article for me to look over. Since I don't have the magazine yet, I can't show you what it looks like, but it really looks quite nice. It was then that I found out that my garment had made the cover. Just so incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So to prove that this is my garment, here's a picture of the complete piece.
This was such an honor. The other two designers are the incredible Angela Wolf and Threads editor Sarah MacFarland. The magazine will be available January 17th. Oh man...I can't wait!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Linda. I just couldn't believe it when I was told that my garment would be on the cover. Just incredible. Such a nice way to start out the new year!
DeleteA well deserved accolade. I can't wait to get my copy of the magazine. The print and pattern match of that outfit is perfect. I am definitely going to make that top...although at my age I need sleeves :(

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Well deserved in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rhonda! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The cover of a magazine is so important, and your outfit looks fabulous. I'll bet the magazine sells far more copies than usual. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! That outfit is so pretty, what a great way to start your year.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing achievement.Be very proud of yourself Rhonda. :)
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE!! The outfit looks great. You must be so proud :-)
ReplyDeleteDarling! I love the tie on the shoulder, although I'm afraid that every time it brushed my arm, I would think if was a fly and bat it away. I ordered the magazine, but TRIED and TRIED to buy a subscription. Is this just a "once a year" publication?
ReplyDeleteHi Joy and thanks! This is a quarterly publication. I'm not sure if you can buy a subscription. I'll look into that. I tried to leave a message on your post about your cat. He really needs a funnel collar so he can't lick his wound. I was surprised that the vet didn't give you one. So happy that things are going well with Jerry's treatment. Please take care of yourself. This has been a very trying period of time for you.
DeleteHow wonderful! Congratulations!
DeleteWoo-Hoo Rhonda, great news! So nice to have your talents recognized :-)!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Rhonda! How exciting, and judging from your outfit photo, very well deserved! I love the blouse -- such a gorgeous fabric -- I can't wait to read the article!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! So exciting Rhonda. Congratulations! I'm going to get this one for sure!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. You so deserve the recognition! You are truly a creative and talented sewist!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rhonda! That is so awesome! What a great outfit!
