Phew! That was a lot of work! Please excuse me while i go pass out from exhaustion hehehe
Seriously though, I really really hope you all enjoyed the sewalong!! I hope it’s helped you take on things you found a little challenging, and given you ideas for how you can vary the pattern. I’m loving seeing all the Banksia’s you have made! A couple of people have asked me where they can share their finished Banksia’s – if you’d like to add them to the Megan Nielsen Patterns Flickr pool, i think that would be a great place to see what everyone has made!
Since we’re almost done – there’s only a short while longer that you can get 10% off the pattern in store – enter BANSKIA at checkout!
And just for fun, here are a few ways I’ve worn my Banksia’s in the past:
Obviously, I really freaking love this top :)
