September “Flip this Pattern”: Sew-Along and Prizes


Who’s up for another “Flip this Pattern” sew-along PAR-TAY!?!?! Let’s do it: using Pattern Anthology’s Alphabet Collection as our springboard for inspiration!

It is all about you!!!  
Inspiration! Creativity! Design! Camaraderie! Sewing enthusiasm!


Sew-alongs will always hold a special place in our hearts! These venues are where strong, blogging friendships form and are maintained. 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.

Today, we would love to share with you the September “Flip this Pattern” sew-along sponsors, and what they will be offering as a prize package for this month of the series!!

SEW-ALONG SPONSORS:
SPONSOR #1: 

Pink Chalk Fabrics features quality natural fibers for quilting, sewing, craft projects, handbags, aprons and more! You’ll find colorful fabrics from the big names, Japanese imports, and small, boutique finds. Not only can you find topnotch fabric here, you can also find over 1,400 pattern titles, including 800 downloadable patterns for instant sewing satisfaction.
Pink Chalk Fabrics is contributing a $25 gift certificate to the winning sew-along contribution for this month! Who wouldn’t like a one-stop shopping adventure?!?!
SPONSOR #2:
Let’s hear it for Birch fabrics: one of our YEAR-LONG SPONSORS!!   The texture alone in these fabrics might cause one to swoon, but throw in the design component of each fabric line and …..insert audible gasp….. it is almost too much for the fabric lover to take! Birch Fabrics, mixes retro style with whimsical juvenile accents that lend themselves perfectly to nursery bedding, while still being sophisticated enough for pillows on your sofa, or curtains in your craft room. In addition, their fabric is produced from 100% organic cotton, and printed with low impact dyes.
 
Birch fabrics will be giving the winner 2 yards of fabric within a specified fabric line – winner’s choice of the fabric within the line!

So, in summary {and to alleviate any confusion on what prizes are up for grabs},
the September Prize Packages are as follows:


**September Sew-Along Judges Include**
Hayley {welcome to the mouse house}
Ana Sofia {s is for sewing}
Mie {sewing like mad}
Heidi {elegance and elephants}

And, if the judges look familiar….well, they should! These ladies were the previous month’s competitors, and have shown us all that they truly know how to “FLIP a PATTERN!”

What criteria will each consider when scoring your creations?
1. Creativity / Originality of Design. *How did the participant flip the outfit? Was it original? Was it creative? Did it make the judge say, “Aaaahhhhh, that’s a pretty neat concept!”
2. Quality of the garment sewn. *Of course the judges can’t touch it, critique it, etc. BUT hopefully they can get a feel for the garment construction through the photos.
3. Wearability. *This doesn’t need to be mistaken that the garment must be modeled {We did NOT make that a rule in the sew-along competition, so participants shouldn’t be penalized if there isn’t a modeled shot. While it is nice and helpful for judging, it isn’t a necessity}…..Instead think of it as a ‘functional wardrobe piece.’
4. Overall appeal of the outfit. *Completely subjective….and will be based on the judges’ taste and preferences.
**And, finally, don’t get caught up in the ‘rules/stipulations’ for playing along. It is extremely subjective, and not meant for increased stress. Instead: have fun, make some sewing friends, be inspired, and create something you love!! That’s really all that matters in the long run….

So, now is your chance to inspire the rest of the blogging world! Link up any garments created using the Pattern Anthology, Alphabet Collection patterns as a starting point. These may be sewn anytime 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.

If you haven’t bought your Pattern Anthology, Alphabet Collection Patterns yet, buy it from one of these links {particular patterns are linked within this post} to join in the fun! 

*The sew-along linky party will remain open until September 19 at 11:00 PM CST.

Other areas you can share your creations include: 
Pinterest: 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.

Flickr Group {Flip this Pattern}: Share creations you’ve sewn on this board. But, remember, only linked entries to this post will be eligible for the sew-along prize.

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!

*New to linky parties? That’s totally fine…here’s what you have to do: 
Find a “Flip this Pattern” entry on your blog that you want to link up.
The link should look something like this:
http://(your blog adress/website)/(the post you want to link).html
Linking to the post is the easiest way for people to get back to that post.
Then click where it says “click here to enter.” 

Follow the steps to link your post and create a title, and select your picture.
Keep in mind the picture will be small thumbnail, so pick a picture that shows it off the best. 


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!?!?!?
