Meet the Mods!

With 315 sewists signed up for the Butterick 5824 sew-along, you may wonder how I keep track of it all. The truth is, I have the help of fabulous little elves--the sew-along moderators! This team of volunteers is helping out in the Flickr group, commenting on photos and answering questions in the discussion boards. They're cooler than any Bond girl, and deadly with a needle and thread. Here's a little bit about them.

    To all the mod girls and sewalongers, big thanks. I have learned so much in this process mainly from looking at the pics and reading around the internet and all the comments. It can take a while for us less experienced sewers to get the confidence for bigger project like this, but if someone is thinking of doing their first coat, I would really recommend going it this way. The pattern is so much simpler than a lot of other coat patterns and there is lots of information both here and on flikr to help. Thank again all.
