Sewing Indie Month: The Winner of the Everyday Casual category!


It’s been a great month! I really enjoyed learning about all the new indie companies out there, and making my own Sinbad&Sailor Dove T, Seamster Dandelion Top and Tilly & The Buttons Coco top.

We also had some really super entries into the Everyday Casual contest, and after the voting, I’m pleased to announce the winner of the category is….

Nicole at Sartorial Sewing? for her Don Cherry inspired Waffle Patterns Luffa blazer! Not only did she amazingly capture the spirit of this previously-unknown-to-me style icon, but she also did a fantastic job of details including bound buttonholes and welt pockets. If that doesn’t prove that casual looks can also be fun and stylish, I don’t know what does!

Nicole wins a bevy of amazing prizes, including:

There will also be a Bonus winner chosen at random from all the entries next week, so stay tuned for that.
