So Much More Celebrity Sewing Talent to View and Share

More, More, More Celebrity Sewing Talent

This is the best Get Social Task we've done so far. The list of Sewing Celebrities is very impressive, and still growing. To keep everything nice and neat, all new submissions will be added to this ONE POST. Newest ones on top. It may be massive before we are finished, but it will all be together and easy to access.


From this point forward, the name of each educator that sends in submissions will be removed because some of you like to keep your Education Challenge Points a secret until summer conference. The first posts already had names, so I'm not going to change them. The bell can not be unrung. There are also some super cute add-on comments that have been emailed with the submissions. I'll leave some (in italics) and remove others. (blogger's discretion.)


So...are your favorite celebrities amongst our newest faves? Glance thru a couple of their quick stories and share your impressions. There is a COMMENT function on this blog and it is OK to use it.
