Are you ready to embark on a sewing journey through time? The Sew Your Decade Sewing Challenge is here, and it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase your creativity while paying homage to your favorite era in fashion history!
What is the Sew Your Decade Challenge?
Organized by Simplicity Creative Group as part of National Sewing Month, this exciting challenge invites sewists of all skill levels to create a garment inspired by their favorite decade. Whether you’re drawn to the flapper dresses of the 1920s, the poodle skirts of the 1950s, or the bell-bottoms of the 1970s, there’s a decade for everyone!

If you’re like me, you may have several decades you call your own. I was born in the ’60s, grew up in the ’70s, endured the ’80s, and managed to get through the ’90s. But I love the styles of the ’40s and ’50s! So which decade will I pick? Since there’s nothing that says you can only submit one outfit…
