Now that May is here, that means the close of the Sophia Carry-All Sew Along Contest. I am completely blown away by all the bags made in this sew along! Be sure to check out all the photos listed in the Flickr group - you're sure to get some inspiration by looking at these gorgeous creations! We'll be announcing the winner on Monday.

May also means the start of a new sew along contest - the reversible, Emmeline Apron. We'll be using the same Flickr group for this one, so if you signed up for the Sophia Carry-All, you don't need to join again. If you're new to our sew alongs just add us to your group listing before uploading your final apron photos. Completed project images need to be posted by midnight May 31 - prizes have yet to be determined, but it may involve some of Amy Butler's yummy new Midwest Modern line and possibly a pattern or two!

As for my own version of the apron, I'll be finishing up purchasing my fabric this weekend and will put up my fabrics on the sidebar over the weekend.
