Today is the day we’ve been thrilled to share with you for quite some time….Okay, seriously…..like waiting on the edge of our seats excited!! It’s our first sewing series to host, and we think it is going to be fantastic!!
The “Flip This Pattern” series is a YEAR-LONG SEWING EVENT, running from June 2013 – May 2014! It consists of twelve “flipped patterns,” sew-along linky parties for each one, and some fun prizes along the way….
Why “Flip This Pattern?” It is a loose spin-off on the television series, Flip this House (although unlike the show, each of the chosen patterns is a WONDERFUL, stand-alone pattern). We are dependent on patterns, and love to add details / special features to make outfits more ‘ours’ along the way. We are always intrigued by the way others use a given pattern and create their own ‘take’ to it! “Flipping” can be as simple as fabric selection/s, or as complex as adding various ‘details’ to an outfit. Think of it as “icing on the cake” – making something good, even better!
Three to four guest bloggers will ‘flip’ the chosen pattern as the month progresses. Everyone is invited to participate in a monthly sew-along linky party….specifically set up for the ‘flipped’ pattern of that month.
What will the run-down of a given month look like? Here is a generic ‘flow of events….’
MYSTERY PATTERN ONE: ?????? {is the suspense killing you???}
Final week of the preceding month: discount codes available for the flipped pattern, giveaways of the pattern, and prizes announced for the guest contributor and sew-along winner
{*offers and prizes will vary each month….}
First Wednesday of the month: sew-along linky party opens
Following 3-4 Thursdays (depending on the calendar): guest contributors share a ‘flipped version’ of the given pattern
Friday (following the final guest contributor’s flipped version): public voting of the guest contributors’ creations; sew-along linky party closes
Sunday: public voting ends
Final Tuesday of the month: Winners announced
**And the cycle continues with the next month’s pattern!
And, since we are such the tease, come back tomorrow to see both the patterns revealed, as well as the phenomenal line-up of “Guest Contributors / Competitors / Flippers” waiting in the wings. And, yes, for the record: there may or may not have already been a little smack-talking going on behind the scenes with some of these ladies…..
Grab a button….and let the countdown to the showdown begin!
