Hello there!
We are Debi, Adey, Sarah and Veronica, the first batch of Sew Weekly contributors in 2011. Together with Mena Trott of The Sew Weekly (TSW), we sewed for 52 weeks based on a particular weekly theme. You might have sewn with us too, as we met many amazing sewists who encouraged us and kept us going throughout our year-long journey with TSW! We loved the experience so much that we didn’t hesitate coming together again in 2012 for the Mad Men themed challenge.
Or you might be one of the over 130 contributors sewing along each week in 2012. You were absolutely amazing and we loved how involved everyone was!
While, we wished we could, we are not able to bring TSW back.
Short on sewing time, missing The Sew Weekly and the joy of sewing together, we have decided to do a reunion yearly just to sew a common theme together.
And, we’ll love it if you could join us!
The Reunion
Debi, Adey, Sarah and Veronica are hosting a reunion.
The timeline:
1) Announcement of sewing theme- 1 August 2013
2) Deadline
Email us by 1 September:
a) A photo of you wearing the garment that you made for the theme challenge
b) A link to your blog post (preferably done in traditional TSW style) or a link to your flickr upload (see flickr group link below)
c) Email thesewweeklyreunion@gmail.com and we will respond with a confirmation within three days if we have received your email.
d) The Big Reveal will take place first week of September.
Join us, if you simply love to sew, love a good challenge, loved The Sew Weekly or if you missed it too! Anyone and everyone are welcomed to join!
Do you miss the Sew Weekly?
We certainly do!
Please leave us a comment if you are keen to join us, we’d love to hear from you! Or you can subscribe to the blog for updates. We’ll be adding a link to every participant’s blog so please leave your blog address with your comment:) There is also a flickr group for everyone to share photos of their creations and discuss issues for The Sew Weekly Reunion. Grab a button for your sidebar, and invite your friends to sew along!
Love,
Debi, Adey, Sarah & Veronica
I enjoyed following TSW last year and I’m looking forward to joining the reunion next month.

I would love to join you! I only started sewing last March and didn’t feel my skills were good enough to join you last year.
I would love to join in please!

I’m so in! I never got to participate in the Sew Weekly, so this is really exciting. 🙂
Yea! I am game. 🙂
I’m game. Count me in… 🙂
Count me in! TSW was the first sewing blog I read and watching you ladies come up with great ideas every week was always so interesting. Can’t wait to be part of the reunion.

So excited everyone! xoxo to you all!
I’ m in! I was a contributor in 2012, aka Rogue and loved every week. I miss it terribly.
I found the Sew Weekly just before it ended and never got a chance to sew along! I’d love to sew with you all, if you’d have me 🙂
Definitely! Love to have you!
I’m in! I’ve never participated in the Sew Weekly, so this is very interesting for me
School starts in August so who knows how crazy my schedule will be, but I would be happy to join!
Wonderful! From all the responses, we have all missed it 🙂 It will be terrific to sew along with all of you… count me in please!!!! m.
I’ve started sewing very recently, but I’m definitely in!
Can I join in too please?

Hi Sew Weekly ladies! A wonderful idea, please count me in. 🙂 http://www.imsewinintherain.wordpress.com
Can’t find my comment, so to reiterate – I’m in. I have missed the weekly deadlines (not that I always got done in time anyroad). Cheers to all and lovely to see familiar faces who have also missed Sew Weekly.
I loved both TSW 2011 and 2012, but never played along. This, this I think I can do. I sure hope so anyway. So sign me up!
I was a silent follower of TSW and I guess now is the time to sew along! I’m so excited to be a part of this 🙂
Looking forward to it. Shame you couldn’t do twice a year. https://www.facebook.com/SassySewingBees
I’m in!
I would love to join!

Count me in! And thank you, ladies, for putting this together!
Oh, this is great fun! I am SO in for this reunion, count me as a participant! I’m still sewing on the SW community circle, and can’t wait to make something for another challenge.
Not sure if I’ll have the time but I’d love to sew along! So I guess you can count me in.
I would love to join the reunion with you!

Yay!
Yay for colours! Being relatively new to sewing, I hesitated for quite a while to join the challenge as the ladies hosting it might have gone for something complicated. But coloura – even I could do that! I’m hereby in!
Please don’t tell me I am too late… I would love to join you!
You’re more than welcome to join us Julia.
This will be my first sewing challenge. Looking forward to it! -Christina

I am going to jump in for this one. I only just started my blog but I followed the sew weekly all throughout 2011 and 2012 so it’s exciting to get involved 🙂
Hmmm. One day to! I only found out about this last week – I hope I scrape in! Fingers crossed!
