Who is getting ready for the Mama Ella & Ella Sew-a-long?!  For all of you new to sew-a-longs I thought it would be good to give you the details before we start on Monday.  A sew-a-long is a great way to sew a new pattern as I will walk you through each step over  the course of a few days.  If your a busy mom like me it takes very little time as we will only complete a step or 2 a day.  First thing is to purchase your pattern, make sure that you use the code ELLASAL for your purchase to get $2 off of each pattern.  You can get your patterns here Mama Ella and Ella.  And because Megan is awesome she has updated the pattern to include the A4 and A0 version as well!  Just log in to your account and you will see the new versions there for you!

Take a look at all these gorgeous Mama Ella’s and Ella’s.

And if that isn’t enough we are adding a gorgeous flutter sleeve and also will show you how to add a sleeve as well.  I will be showing how to add the sleeve using the Mama Mya or Mya but you can use any knit pattern with a regular sleeve. If you have Mama Ava, Ava, Brooklyn, Mama Isabel or Isabel all of these will work along with many of our other patterns.  How pretty are those flutters!!

Here is our schedule of what we will complete each day.

And now for the exciting part, PRIZES!!  We will have 3 prizes at the end of the sew-a-long.  Make sure you have joined our facebook group and also follow us on instagram @madeformermaids and use the hashtags #m4mellasal #mamaellapattern #ellapattern when you post.  We will have an album in the facebook group for you to add your final photo’s to as well.
