100 Item Sewing Challenge

Last year I challenged myself to make 100 items to giveaway. These were items I was sewing and donating to various charity auction - and I did it! I actually made over my goal of 100! This year I'm going to take it a little slower and will still attempt to make 100 items this year, but I'm not setting a specific goal for how many I want to give away.

This year a new Facebook Group has formed that will help me meet this goal - and maybe win some prizes. It's the 2017 - 100 items sewing challenge!

First - take a look at all these sponsors!

And the list is growing! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor - message the admin - Aimee Swan.

Here are the details of the challenge...

• You must create 8 items per month to be entered into the monthly prize drawings
• You must make the goal of 100 for the year - for a chance at the grand prize in December
• You can join in at any time - eligible for each month you participate
• To help you reach your goal, there will be 6 sew-alongs and discount codes for patterns]

Here are the rules...

• Upload photos of your finished items to your album as you complete them 
• Items must not be sold as part of a business - they can be for friends, family, gifts, personal etc. 
• A machine embroidery item with at least 10k stitches can count as an item. An item embroidered then sewn into another item can count as two.
• Small items can be grouped to count as one - this is based on the individual and their discretion - ie. Headbands, socks, small embroidered items etc. 
• Large items, like quilts, can be broken up at the makers discretion. 
• Heat Vinyl Transfer (HTV) or hand embroidery - makers discretion of how to group and count these.
• Sewing for charity or strike offs count towards your 100 - remember to number your items and upload the monthly placeholder photo!
