🎊#SewAprilBlouse26 is wrapping up for another year!🎊  What a month it's been.  Thank you to all the entrants, the sponsors, the wonderful vloggers, and the lovely insta sewing community for cheering each other on.🙏  A special thank you to Tamlyn for co-hosting and organising the vlogger tour. 👏🙏👏 This is a huge challenge and I couldn't do it without Tamlyn's support.  😘 We are both full of blouse inspiration, and I know you are too.  🚨Tagging Your Image🚨 For those who haven't tagged the actual image in your post with @Cloth_Edit and @Sewn_On_The_Tyne could you please help us out and tag your blouse image?🙏  It's hard managing things in the hashtag because it's unreliable, not chronological, and constantly changes order.  😜 I still have about 200-300 entries to comment on and share on the Runway (Stories). Tamlyn and I will then spend a few days compiling our respective lists of favourites before making decisions.  It's going to be soooo difficult.  Expect the Winners to be announced mid-next week.  🏆 Have a wonderful weekend.  You are THE BEST.💃🎊🏆👏 Gabrielle #cloth_Edit #clothedit #sewingchallenge #sewingchallenge2026

#SewAprilBlouse26 Are you inspired too?  🤩🤗💖   Tamlyn and I are overwhelmed by all the gorgeous, blousy makes!  😍🚨📷❣️You love this challenge, and so do we!  My list of new patterns to try is extensive, and I'm sure Tamlyn has the same sort of lengthy list 😉.   ✂️How many new-to-you-patterns have you come across? I'll continue the daily runways in Stories, which may extend into the first couple of days of May.  I found many entries that haven't tagged the photo with @Cloth_Edit and @Sewn_on_the_Tyne .  As I comment on all those lovely makes, I will ask the entrants to tag the image so we can see all entries in one spot.  Hashtag searches are unreliable, and our notifications fill up very quickly.  I hope the instructions in the carousel help you tag your post image.    👀A Look Ahead 👀 Tamlyn and I will need several days to collaborate and select the many winners, so expect winner announcements mid next week.  I will post a Story next week with a more accurate date.   ✂️Still Planning or Sewing? If you are still cutting out, hemming, or wrangling buttonholes, you still have plenty of time!   Have fun!  This month has been wild!  🥳🎉🎊 Gabrielle and Tamlyn ✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️ #Cloth_Edit #ClothEdit #SewingChallenge #SewingChallenges26
