Hello fine people! I've been missing that last few days because I've been working with some ace sponsors organizing some collaborations with them for a competition giveaway prizes for the upcoming Winifred sew-along and today i can announce it all, woo!
But first i have another announcement to make.
Due to a lot of questions and a tad bit of worry amongst y'all whether or not your patterns will be arriving in time to join in the sew-along and there are a lot of you wanting to join in ( ace!) I have decided to push back the start date of the sew-along until the 24th of March. Now all your patterns are on their way, but as we all know Mister post man doesn't always play nice and some of your patterns have LONG way to go from me here in Oz. So to allow for your paper patterns to arrive and give you enough time to find the perfect fabric and get sorted we will start the Winifred sew-along on the 24th of March. I hope this eases everyone's minds a little, because i won't you all to join in!
Now let's get to the good part.. prizes and how to go about getting your mitts on them!
Below are the prizes up for grabs to be given away to 3 lucky winners:
INDIE STITCHES - $50 online shop voucher
This indie pattern shop caters for you, the lovers of Indie patterns as well as supports all of us indie pattern designers!
SEWBOX - £40 pound online shop voucher
Check out the beautiful range of fabrics they have in stock, this voucher will get you some pretty cool fabric for your stash.
A FASHIONABLE STITCH - PRIZE PACK

OK now the nitty gritty of it all. Don't worry its easy peasy :)
Can i enter?
Of course you can silly! Everyone can! This sew-along & contest is open to all everyone who lives in this damn fine world, oh and that sews.
What must one do to enter?
You must upload your completed Winifred dress photos onto the Bluegingerdoll Flickr group and also use the tag Winifred on your photos to officially enter into the contest and go in the running to win the prizes. Don't tag, not entered - Easy. You can join up now to make it easier later on to enter.The sew-along finishing date will be announced in due course as well the final date you can upload your Winifred photos. So stay tuned for that. And don't worry you'll have plenty of time to finish up and upload your photos.
How does the voting work?
Myself and some other very helpful elves will be choosing several favorites ( depending on how many entries roughly between 5-10) from the Flickr group that will then be voted on by the sewing public, that means you fine folk out there, for the chance to win the cool prizes.
Again voting times etc will be announced in due course.
Then after all the votes are tallied up, the winners will then be announced in the following days thereafter, here on the blog :)
