I was so pleased to see so many lovely Designer me-made Copies entered this year! 22 sewists posted on their blogs, 35 on their Instagram accounts, and of those 18 posted on both to increase their chances! I thank you all for planning and sewing and joining in, and thank you to those who followed along and voted! A special thank you to our PRIZE SPONSORS! Didn’t we have fun! 🎉🕺💃🎊
Everyone had the chance for two entries if they followed my blog and my Instagram. The IG “likes’ were easy to see, but the blog votes were hidden from everyone. I only just looked myself tonight! If someone won on both my blog and my Instagram, I gave them the win where they had more votes and then was able to add on another winner – one prize per sewist!
Our PRIZE SPONSORS generously donated ten prizes, which were chosen blindly and randomly, from:

You’re welcome! And I really did! It was so much fun, I hope to enter again this year! 🙂
Looking forward to seeing you again! 😁👍
Aww, thanks Linda!! 😀 <3
Such a nice job hosting this Linda! I spent a bit of time looking through the entries and how this works, so I may have a go at this in 2018 if you do it again. I am a fairly slow seamstress when sewing for myself, so my project would be in the several month category, I am sure! I have some lovely wool in my stash, so will keep this in mind as I try to decide what to do with it.😄 So many inspiring outfits here!
Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you next Designin’ December! I always try to get an early start with my planning! 🤪
Congratulations to all!! Thank you so much for hosting this fun challenge Linda!! It’s been inspiring to see everyone’s makes and their level of achievements. We are part of a most talented international sewing community! I’ll definitely be participating again next year. Now off to check out Sense & Sensibility Patterns! A new to me pattern company. Thank you again! 🙂
Thank you for the kind, well spoken words! I couldn’t have said it better! Looking forward to seeing your Designer me-made Copy next time!
Congratulations to all the winners and to you Linda for hosting such a fab competition!
Thank you! I hope it was fun for everyone!
Congratulations to all the winners!! 🙂 Congrats on pulling off another amazing event bringing the sewing community together! 🙂 I trust this year I will plan wayyyy ahead and be able to enter! 🙂 Happy New year!! 🙂
