Hi, thanks to everyone who voted for me! I’m so happy to announce that I actually won a sewing contest! Woot!
How did this happen? Well, Mari of Seamster Patterns organized the second Sewing Indie Month this year, hosting it on Sew Independent. Last year I had entered the Dressed to the Nines contest and was a finalist with my first Anna Dress. This year I entered the Everyday Casual Sewalong Contest (you can see all the entries there). I needed more casual clothes in my wardrobe. To enter, you just had to make something from one of the participating indie designers in the month of September and post your photo by Oct. 11. I had already purchased the A-Frame skirt pattern by Blueprints for Sewing back in June so I made that skirt (pictured below). You can see more photos of my skirt on this post and read about construction details here.
Mary of Idle Fancy hosted the Everyday Casual Sewalong Contest. Thanks for hosting, Mary! And thanks so much to Mari for organizing Sewing Indie Month! You put together some excellent prize packages!
Here’s what I got:
Paprika Patterns Jade Skirt PDF pattern
Closet Case Patterns: your choice of PDF pattern
Skinny Bitch Curvy Chick: Mimosa blouse PDF pattern
Muse Patterns: your choice of PDF pattern
Conradulations! Your skirt was the best entry anyway 🙂 A well deserved win 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
Congrats on the win! Your skirt turned out great. Sorry to hear about your job. But look at it this way, you can get a lot of sewing and projects done. Being unemployed really sucks at the time, but having been in your position before, I now look back at that time as a really fruitful and productive time for me. I hope you find it the same.
Thank you! It’s quite thrilling to win! So glad you like the skirt, too. I’m enjoying going to yoga classes and working on other projects. 🙂
Well done, I love your skirt its stylish and casual, the fabric is perfect for Blueprints it looks architectural . I made the Saltbox top, it’s a great sew and a great way to use one metre impulse buys & precious scraps.
Thank you! I really like that fabric, too. I still have more yardage so I’ll be making something else with it. I love stashbusting patterns. 😉
Deserved winner enjoy your prizes. Sorry to hear about your work situation hope you find something that brings you happiness.
I’m sure I’ll have a lot of fun with the prizes. Thank you! I’m enjoying my time off.
