Time for another MPB Sew-Along!

Posted on 5:14 AM by dvdsvdsdv

Friends, I've been thinking: now that our Men's Shirt Sew-Along is coming to a close, what might we sew together next?

I'd like it to be something practical...


But sexy.


Something I have experience sewing...



And that can work in multiple fabrics (given the non-conformist bent of my readers).



And that's suitable for both men and women.


 Something that can be worn loose...


 Or snug.


Multiple pockets and topstitching - A+!



Finally, it has to be something we can find an in-print pattern for.

Can you think of anything that fits these criteria?

Friends, please take some time this week and think about what our next MPB Sew-Along should be.  We wouldn't start till Spring (which is only three weeks away), and certainly not for another month or even two.  I think most of you need that much time to finish your shirts.

Nothing is set in stone of course, so if there is something please let me know.  Nothing with tulle, please!

Are you in?

Happy Tuesday, everybody!
