2012 After Christmas Sew Along

Well here we go!

I'm so excited about all the generous people who are

supplying us with discount codes and fabulous prizes

to make this a really fun month of sewing!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

The Details:

The fun starts Monday January 2nd.

#1. Sew anything you like.

It can be Christmas themed or not.

I'll be sewing Christmas decor for my home

since I never have the time to do that.

Most of us are constantly sewing for others

 and seldom get the chance to sew for ourselves.

You can even get a jump start on gifts

for next Christmas if you want to.

It's totally up to you.

#2. Every Monday, begining January 2nd for 4 weeks,

 I will post a link to a  flicker group

for you to share photos of your creations.

Each Monday there will be a completely new group

for that week only.

A winner will be chosen at random every Friday evening

and I will post the winner on

this blog on Saturday.

You can join in at any time!

That's it....easy peasy!

Just have fun!!!
