It was so interesting to round up all these photos. I definitely have my favorites, but I didn't realize how much I really stick to a color palate until I rounded all these photos up from the beginning of the school year.
I'm deciding whether or not I need to branch out and so more blues and perhaps a bit more yellow and red,
Or if this is just a good representation of my aesthetic. Thoughts?
Either way, I loved doing this series through the whole alphabet. Well. Minus R. (Remember? That was my get-out-of-jail-free card.) Recently, when Divine and I were in Utah, I was explaining to someone what Sew All 26 was. She said, "so, it's like a is for apple, b is for bear..." I had to interrupt her and felt slightly defensive.
I wanted her to know that this was more like an art project than a cutesy...whatever. Divine happened to be wearing her M outfit, including her bow tie, so I had a visual. Even though I'm wrapping this up (we will see if there will be subsequent seasons!), I find myself continually thinking of letters that would work for Sew All 26.
It's a bit addictive. An addiction that I don't want to break. I DO want a bit of a break from the stress of sewing something every single week with a deadline, but I have some other things that I'd like so help see to fruition in this space, but I think Sew All 26 will always be in the back (or middle, or front!) of my mind.
I've loved all those who participated, both the guest bloggers and those of you who have linked to your projects.
I feel like I need to have virtual fireworks to end this! Kaboom! Pow!
You are so dedicated! I probably would've called it a day after F or G. Way to stick it out! Those are some really impressive pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love them all. My favorite is L. I adore this little dress with the secret book. Looking forward to more of your projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series this was! I love every single garment you made!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for inviting me to take part of the fun. I loved sewing letter T!
You are one amazing seamstress! I have six boys and would love to sew for them, but have a hard time thinking of projects that they wouldn't totally ruin (they are all very active). Do you have any suggestions or ideas of things that you like to sew for Drummer? Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool!!! I like Q, Y, A, W and C :)
ReplyDeleteyou killed this project!! loved keeping up with it, and always love your instagram posts and just following your life in general, katy! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is so much greatness in this post, it is hard to take in!!! Love, love, love this concept and series!! *I can only imagine the break you need after completing these gorgeous pieces :)....
ReplyDeleteEach and every one is spectacular! What a delightful series. Thanks for inviting me to be a part of it! Fun, fun, fun.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Beautiful Collection!
ReplyDeleteI thought of another one... you had me at 'A'
DeleteI totally loved this series! You have such a great imagination that translates beautifully to clothing. I loved seeing what you'd come up with for each letter. And meeting you at SNAP just made it more fun!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing what you came up with for this series. Great job for completing it!
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see them all on one page. I think they need to be in a coffee table book. They are pretty cool.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely an accomplishment worthy of virtual fireworks. The projects you sew have incredible detail. I am amazed you "whip these out." That's in quotations, because no matter how amazing you are at sewing, I'm sure none of these was exactly easy in any way. I'm sure your kids love the attention of having something special made for them as well. Take a break and work on R. I actually miss seeing your bracelets you used to make pool side and your other house/art projects. Sewing is for sure your forte, but share your other talents too. Tutorials would be nice too for us with less talent. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Unbelievably beautiful. It was fun to link with you!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING Katy!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about doing my own Sew All 26 challenge and just pulled up your blog and was going to go through it page after page to find all 26 posts. And ta da! Here's everything! This is awesome - my copycat won't be half as good, I can tell you that right now.
ReplyDeleteSo when are these going to be shown in a gallery or coffee table book? I'm waiting......
ReplyDeleteWow, just stumbled on your blog and I'm in love with every one of these.
ReplyDeleteKaty! This is incredible. I like the idea of turning these into a book. So fun to see them all together.
