Welcome to my blog! I created ‘The Ravel Out’ to capture my makes while I unravel my sewing ideas, one stitch at a time.

Ravel (out)

verb

  1. unravel; untangle.

  2. undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads).

If you are a part of the Instagram sewing community, it is highly likely that you participated or saw others participate in the #sewhappycolor challenge hosted by @Katiekortmanart in March. You can search for the very vibrant #sewhappycolor hashtag on Instagram. I learned so much about color theory during this challenge. Today, I am rounding up all the me-mades I wore during this challenge!

Katie did an awesome job explaining color theory during this week and I think the information is still available in her highlights on IG. It gave me a chance to pair some garments I had never even thought of pairing together. I hope this challenge will happen again next year.


Happy Sewing!
