Welcome Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

Hello!
Happy August!!!

And with the coming of August we will return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Skirting the Issue doesn't officially end until August 15th so if you wanted to sew along with us there is still time!  If you aren't sure about what Skirting the Issue is you can read more about it here:  Skirting the Issue.

And if you want to see how you can win a brand new BABY LOCK SEWING MACHINE or bundles of fabric, gift cards, and loads of thread just by sewing up a skirt you can check out this post:  Skirting the Issue Prizes.

Or if you would just like to see a ginormica round up of our favorite skirt tutorials from the first 3 years of Skirting the Issue you can check out this post:  86 Free Skirt Tutorials

But for now....it's time for us to get back to business over here on Project Run and Play and this month we have a dynamic duo that you all know and love...Ashley and Emily from Frances Suzanne.

We love these ladies and hope that one day we will get the opportunity to meet in person but, for now, we enjoy their company over the internet.....and hope that one day we will get to have a personal smocking lesson from them.

So, check back in with tomorrow where we will get to here from Ashley and Emily and get back to business and usual!

Project Run and Play 2015 is Here!!!!

Project Run and Play 2015 is here!!!

Hooray!!!

We are so excited to get started.

(Remember we are doing something a little different this year...for more details about what and why you can read all about it HERE.)

And we couldn't think of a better way to kick off the new year than with one of our very favorite ladies: Alida from Alida Makes.

We first met Alida when we competed with her more than 3 years ago during Season 2.

We instantly loved her fun, edgy, style.

We also loved that she made clothing for her children that matched their different personalities and made them happy.  (She really is a master at this.)

After our season ended we kept in touch with her and enjoyed watching her continue to create fabulous work.  (The woman can sew!)

After acquiring Project Run and Play we asked her to be one of our weekly sew along judges and were ecstatic when she agreed.  We love this lady!  And we are so happy to be featuring her this month.

Join us again tomorrow to find out what she is up to now!
