Blog Anniversary And Another Gabriola

Julia Bobbin - Gabriola Skirt by Sewaholic Patterns

Today is an extra special day for me as it's the 3rd year anniversary of my blog! For reals!

When I first start sewing I remember discovering the world of craft blogs online and my life changed! Suddenly there was this open, friendly community that was more than willing to share their knowledge and advice and it really fast-tracked my progress with sewing.

Three years ago I decided that I would start my own little sewing blog where I could document my own creations and interact with more likeminded people. I love this community and I've made many great friends through the blogosphere.

Emotional!

To celebrate my third year blogging I thought I'd share another project with you that I made a while ago. It's the Gabriola Skirt by Sewaholic Pattens and it's made using a ridiculously beautiful silk fabric that I bought from Tessuti Fabrics.

My full apologies for not ironing the skirt before I took the photos. I didn't notice until afterwards. My mother is going to KILL me.

For a full review of this skirt you can check out my other Gabriola skirt that I recently posted about. The only difference is that i fully lined this version.

    Love that fabric! I've been coveting the Gabriela pattern for a while now. I think I'm going to splurge and get it tomorrow. Congrats on 3 years. I'm just starting a blog of my own. Hope it makes it as far as yours. :)

    Sensational skirt! You're right, it is fantastic fabric and looks amazing on you. I will look up that pattern! The trick is picking the right fabric for the pattern, isn't it? You nailed it on this one! I've only recently discovered your blog and love it. I've only just discovered the whole sewing community actually! I'm where you were three years ago, just starting my blogging journey this past spring. I used to sew back when I was in my teens and 20s, and started back just for kicks after many years of buying off the rack. Reading blogs like yours has kept me inspired and encouraged… so thanks for being out there, and congratulations!!!
