DESIGNIN' DECEMBER / Sewing / Sewing Challenges

The DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER 2017 WINNERS!

Posted by

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:

Itch to Stitch – two PDF patterns of the winner’s choice
Vintage Pattern Lending Library (Etsy) – gift certificate worth USD $25
Skinny Bitch Curvy Chick Patterns – one PDF pattern of the winner’s choice
Paprika Patterns
Sense & Sensibiliity – one PDF pattern of the winner’s choice and one Vintage ebook
Named Patterns – one PDF pattern of the winner’s choice
JCVArtStudio
Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!! – a mystery sewing grab bag

 

Well you have had plenty of time to look over the Designer Originals and Designer me-made Copies so let’s just get right to it!  

So who did you think was most successful in making a COPY of their DESIGNER ORIGINAL?

With the most votes on my Instagram, the answer is:  

@suestoney wins one $25 Gift Certificate from the Vintage Pattern Lending Library

@lisascarolina wins one ePattern from Sense & Sensibility Patterns

@thimble.pleasures wins one Pattern from the Itch to Stitch Shop

@sewing_in_spain wins one $25 Gift Certificate from the Vintage Pattern Lending Library

  5. Thank you so much for organizing this, Linda! I am really excited winning a prize, thank you who have voted for my dress! Participating was fun and the Moto Chic Jacket was on my wish list since I had seen Heather Lou’s version, so this will be my choice. Thank you, Skinny Bitch Curvy Chic Patterns!

  7. 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!
