    Love the new raindrops fabric. Bright and fun. Certain to be cute not matter what you’re making with it.

    Ok, THIS I’m really interested to see. I have this book and I’ve looked at these projects thinking they’d be MUCH too skimpy for the average woman to wear them in public, so I’m really curious to see what you ladies think after sewing them up!

    These fabric pair-ups are great!

    Great fabric choices! I also think any of the violes you have would look great for those halters!

    Love the raindrop fabric! Actually raindrops seem to be everywhere lately, a bit like birds a few years ago…

    great idea to add some more fabric choices! Thanks for doing the hard part for us.

    I’m curious how an adult size sundress works with one yard! I would be looking for some leggings to go with it I think! Great fabric choices and inspiration, thanks!

    Wow, this looks like tremendous fun. I just connected with your blog today and feel like I’ve missed out! I think I’ll sit down and read through the past few months for some inspiration! Thanks for a fun blog!

    The fuchsia dots and floral gives me courage to go put something wild together!!

    The fabric recommendation is an excellent, yet wallet-unfriendly idea! ;D I’m anxious to see if the halter top is easy to put together. That dress is going to be cute. Does anyone want to lend me their body so I could make one for myself? :D lol

    I’m pretty sure I couldn’t wear anything in public made from just one yard of fabric! I can dream though :) I love the raindrop fabric too.

    Love the fabric and looking forward to seeing the Mother/Daughter and sun dress finished! I’m inspired to do some clothes sewing for my d-i-l and her little sister!

    Adding extra fabric choices is a great idea – I particularly like the first one!

    I like the new feature! The MoMo print would look awesome for the halter tops. :)

    I’m excited to see the results of these two projects. I love that you gave an alternative fabric option too.

    Seeing all the beautiful clothing that is being made, really is tempting me to try some. It has been a long time since I sewed clothes and I wasn’t that great at it, lol. I think I have more patience now, then I did then.

    Just when I thought I couldn’t love the Sew Along more than I already do, you add a new, fabulous feature: more fabric options! Thank you!

    Oh, I love those mother/daughter shirts!! I always think I’ll make them for my sister-in-law and her two young daughters! Can’t wait to see what you do with them!

    I love the fabric colors! I need to take my diet more seriously if I’m going to get into a sundress with only one yard of material.

    I love that you are showing alternate fabric choices! It really is amazing to see the same design made in different fabrics (or even to see options).

    Seeing these match-ups is very helpful to me……I am quite fascinated by the contemporary fabrics but don’t feel comfortable yet combining etc…..seeing these helps and is buidling my confidence……

    oooo I would love a Sundress with the Flower Garden and Dots combo!! I have to say one of my favorite things about the sew along is seeing the fabrics you put together.
