While we’ve been giddy with excitement over the Flip this Pattern series, today is what it is all about….and we aren’t referencing the spectacular prizes up for grabs!!!

Sew-alongs will always hold a special place in our hearts! These venues are where strong, blogging friendships form and are maintained. We’ve discovered many kindred spirits in sew-along groups that have developed into an amazing, positive sewing community we are proud to be a part. That’s why THIS PART of the series holds utmost importance to us….We want our blog to be a gateway to bridging those friendships for many of you; a place that you discover sewing enthusiasts like yourself – those with similar tastes and interests.

When we first envisioned the Flip this Pattern series, it was unclear how the sewing community would respond. As the competitors quickly began claiming their challenge month, excitement escalated. And, then, when sponsors believed in the series and offered prizes….well, that was paramount!!!

Today, we would love to share with you the June “Flip this Pattern” sew-along sponsors {PLEASE NOTE: there are other sponsors in the works….these are merely the June ones}, and what they will be offering as prize packages for this month of the series!! *And, yes…we “flipped out” a bit when these commitments came through.

SPONSOR #1:

Fabricworm is no stranger to many of you. This company prides itself in carrying modern fabric for modern sewists. They feature a wonderful collection of children’s fabrics, featuring themes like animals, travel, flowers, transportation, and many many more. Many beautiful Japanese import fabrics from Kokka Japan, Naomi Ito for Nani Iro, and Echino by Etsuko Furuya can also be found and purchased at their online store. And, they have one of the largest selections of organic fabrics on the web. Fabricworm features an impressive selection of designers like Alexander Henry, Heather Ross, Denyse Schmidt, Etsuko Furuya, Joel Dewberry, Michael Miller, Jay-Cyn Designs, and Amy Butler…..just to name a few. It is a user-friendly site that is easy to navigate between pages. 

Fabricworm is graciously giving the winner a $20 gift certificate to use at their online store.

SPONSOR #2: Heidi, of Elegance and Elephants, is generously giving the sew-along winner a free copy of her yet to be released latest pattern (is the suspense killing you?), as well as a ‘Mystery Bundle’ of fabric/supplies! I mean….who doesn’t love a great mystery?!?!?

the June Prize Packages are as follows:

So, now is your chance to inspire the rest of the blogging world! Link up any Elegance and Elephants Bubble Pocket Shorts sewn within the past six months….that’s right: the past six months {entries do not have to be sewn during the month of the competition – another perk to the “Flip this Pattern” sew-along}. You may enter more than one item in the sew-along competition….the more the merrier! And, no, you do not have to have a blog to participate. Share your creation on your flickr photostream and link up from there.

There is also a pinterest board set up for “Flip this Pattern” sewn garments and/or inspirations, however, only entries linked to this blog post will be eligible for the Sew-Along Prize. This board is set up for YOU….to pin inspirations of the given patterns to flip OR to pin your own creations using those patterns. Simply ask to join, and pin away!

Also, if you are on instagram, use the hashtag #flipthispattern to share sneak peeks and/or creations you’ve been working on throughout this series…..yet another way for us to share in the fun all year long!

Lastly, if you would be so kind to add our “Flip this Pattern” button to your page or post {or wherever you store your linky party things}, that would be awesome!

Now, how about we get this party started!?!?!?
