Pick SIX hmmm? Now that was tough!
How does this work? Everyone had the chance to Vote for their favourites on my blog and on my Instagram feed, @nicedressthanksimadeit, here! hashtag #voteforDD2022. The Votes on my blog were counted by Crowdsignal, then I added them to the “Likes” on my IG for each entry.
Now it appears I have more Prizes than entries! Everyone gets a prize!!
Our talented 19 sewists have been listed below in order of highest total number of votes then descending. I will be contacting each of them, in order, to pick a prize. If someone doesn’t get back to me quickly I will move on to the next and the next until they do contact me. Many entries either tied for Votes or were very, very close. It’s funny how that works!
