April “Flip this Pattern”: Competitors and Prizes


March’s “Flip this Pattern” inspiration was fun! April’s pattern has been introduced and an AMAZING discount code – FLIP35 – has been given {35% off all Heidi and Finn patterns, as long as the Color Block Dress is part of your purchase} that is good through April 3.
And, now it is time to “meet the competitors” for this month!
The April “Flip this Pattern” competitors have been chomping at the bit to show you their “Flipped Creations”….and they are ready to knock your sewing socks off…..trust us! But first, a little introduction of each is in order {introduced in the order of their upcoming “Flipped Appearance”}!
Courtney {Sweeter than Cupcakes}

Little did I know how well my strengths as a structural engineer would lend themselves to an even greater joy found in the technical, mathematical, and artistic demands of sewing! A six month old daughter, an encouraging Mom, and a very old hand-me-down sewing machine came together at the perfect time providing inspiration for what is now a passionate hobby. I’ve added tools, upgraded machines, and continually push myself to tackle sewing projects which take me far beyond my initial expectations. I’m thankful to have found a pastime that not only fits my heart and mind, but blends well with my family too! Sewing for two daughters, planning their parties, and baking keep me happily at home and a stranger to boredom!

Rachel and Donna {Once Upon a Sewing Machine}

Hi! We’re Donna and Rachel of Once Upon a Sewing Machine. We hail from the Midwest, and primarily sew for Rachel’s two children, 4 and 2.

The sewing machine has always been a place for us to come together as mother and daughter. It is a place where we can brainstorm, laugh, and sometimes cry. Any catching up after being apart means a trip to the sewing room or craft table to share new projects and check out the latest fabric purchase or crafty little item.

Our blog is a labor of love—a collaboration, something for us to work on together even though we live six hours apart. We share tutorials, patterns and even finished projects. We’d love for you to visit us!

Melanie {The Crafty Cupboard}

Hi everyone, I’m Melanie! While I am a wife of a hard-working MBA student and mother of 3 (almost 4!) girls first and foremost, I am also a blogger at The Crafty Cupboard where I share my latest projects. I’ve been sewing since I was 8 when my mom taught a whole slew of neighborhood children sewing classes one summer, and I kept right on sewing. Once I was grown and off on my own in college, my meager sewing skills began to really blossom, and now I sew regularly for my girls, my home, and frankly- for my sanity! I also love to quilt; it is perfect for wrapping your favorite fabrics around you! While my sewing machine and I get along really well, I can’t say the same about my kitchen. 😉 I love being part of a big online sewing and crafting community, and I am so glad to be part of this series where there is inspiration at every turn.

And, what competitor prizes are up for grabs this month?? Aside from the thrill of victory, the “viewers’ choice winner” will receive the following from our fabulous sponsors:
SPONSOR #1:
Who doesn’t love Birch fabrics???  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!

SPONSOR #2:

Heidi and Finn is one of those pattern companies that is “all about comfort, style, and fashion”! And since we all LOVE the above-mentioned items, it may be quite difficult to decide on which comfort, style, or fashionable pattern one might want to purchase. So, Heidi & Finn will be giving the winner a 3 pack of Heidi and Finn patterns…winner’s choice!


SPONSOR #3:

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.

And for the rest of you??? Well….the April Sew-Along Linky Party opens tomorrow….and an awesome prize for the winner will be announced at that time! You don’t want to miss the scoop….
