Earlier this month I shared with you that I was supposed to be at the Sew News offices in Denver to start taping the new sew alongs for the upcoming year. Well, that didn't happend since I came down with the flu, lost my voice and ended up with a huge fever blister on my lip. Thankfully, we were able to reschedule and the taping for the first 3 sew alongs was done yesterday. Here's a few pictures.
Before the start of the video, they have me go over just what I planned to do so the camera guy has an idea of where I will be going. That is what's happening in this first picture.

Sew News is celebrating their 35th year! Quite an accomplishment.

In the meantime, thank you to all of you for making last year's sew alongs so successful, as they asked me back!!!! It wouldn't have happened had you not watched. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Just received my new issue this week and read about the slip! The slip is really lovely and I'm still trying to decide If I will make one as I don't really wear slips anymore! Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiul slip. They are great under dresses. That pattern looks really nice. Really nteresting to see behnd the scenes. It's easy to forget how much work must go into each session. Xx

ReplyDeleteThis looks like such fun - yes work - but fun work. I remember buying one of the first SEW NEWS magazines when it was larger and on newsprint, I think. That's been 35 years ago, I guess. lol Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI am excited! I have made some camisoles, but nothing nearly as beautiful as your beaded slip. Something else I can do with my beads! Love it. You look gorgeous, as always!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Joy
That is a lovely slip. I love these Sew Chic patterns, very classy. This promises to be a great sew along.
ReplyDeleteI, too, remember reading Sew News when it was in newspaper format. It was a very in depth periodical and the only thing like that at the time. I couldn't wait for each issue and one of the prettiest things I ever sewed was inspired by an article from that time period in Sew News.
Lovely - might be tempted to do the sew along... (though I have yet to complete one).
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! These patterns seem very nice.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better, Rhonda. Congratulations on your continued success with Sew News.
ReplyDeleteWow - how exciting. I know you have done them before but still very exciting. I LOVE that slip. Very sweet. Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI intend to sew along. I have not worn slips in a while, but I see no reason not to start, especially when I can make a beautiful, luxurious one. Thank you for everything you contribute to the sewing community. I love your posts.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, so glad you are feeling better and were able to tape your segments. When I saw on the Sew Chic blog that you were doing the slip sew-a-long, I got very excited. I too wear slips often but have never made my own. I'll be joining in for sure.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on being asked for a 2nd series - love the little slips they are so pretty - good luck with series 2 sure there will be a series 3
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous slip! I've just discovered your blog, and look forward to learning more about your Sew-Alongs for SewNews!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is all pretty exciting stuff Rhonda! From the photos, you look super relaxed and comfortable in the setting. I REALLY should start sewing slips for myself. I can never get a good fit in ready to wear, and although I forgo them when I have a lined dress on, there are certainly times that I need one.
ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteWhen does this sew-a-long start?
I believe it begins the first week of March, but I will check to be sure. Please keep a look out on the blog because I am going to announce some fabulous give aways this week to kind of kick things off. :)
