Amy Lou Who’s Amy Butler Sew and Tell Challenge

My sewing pattern finally came in the mail last night. I’m talking about the pattern for the Amy Butler Lotus Tunic and Cami. I was awaiting this because I am going to enter this project in Amy Lou Who’s Amy Butler Sew and Tell Challenge. The project needs to be completed by September 24th, and must have an element in it…either using an Amy Butler sewing pattern, Amy Butler fabric, or both. There are a bunch of prizes, including sewing patterns, fabric, and a gift certificate to fabricworm.com!

For my main fabric, I decided to use some beautiful Alexander Henry cotton lawn fabric  (Como multi, it’s the fabric on the left) that I got a couple months ago. I’m using an Anna Maria Horner fabric, Fortune from the Good Folks line, for the detail at the top of the sleeves. I was debating whether the Alexander Henry would be too busy; maybe I should buy another fabric? But you know what, I’m going to have to learn to sew with what I already have in my stash, so I’m going to go for it! I’m going to a Jimmy Eat World concert in a couple weeks and I think I would like to wear this tunic with a pair of cowboy boots. I cut all the fabric out last night, so I’m ready to start tonight when the kids are in bed.
