    The Hot In The City get up

    posted April 12, 2012 / 30 Comments

    This gorgeous fabric I picked up sometime ago on a trip to ikea, I had no idea at the time what I was going to use it for it just caught my eye so I handed over my dollars and tucked it away into my stash. When I read about this ‘city challenge’ this fabric and Melbourne’s Yarra River came to mind. It’s somewhat literal but I know you lovely ladies won’t mind.

About the Sew Weekly

The Sew Weekly began as Mena Trott's attempt to document the process of sewing all of her own clothes in 2010. In 2011, four other contributors (Debi Fry, Adey Lim, Veronica Darling & Sarah Gabbart) joined her and for 52 weeks, they sewed based on a particular weekly theme. In 2012, The Sew Weekly became a much larger group blog with over 130 contributors sewing along each week.
