"After Christmas"??????
It's not even Christmas yet!
You're probably thinking that I'm crazy right about now,
but there is a method to my madness.
If you are anything like me,
you are WAY behind
on your Christmas crafting and sewing again this year.
And all those really fun projects
that you wanted to make for yourself and your own home
got pushed to the backburner
while you try to crank out those Christmas gifts for everyone else.
I've been ooohing and ahhhing over all the cute table runners
and Christmas quilts I've seen all over the sewing blogs
and wished in my heart
that I had the time to make one or two of them for me :)
Well....here's your chance!!!
Instead of an After Christmas Sale......
why not have an After Christmas Sew Along!
It's the perfect time of year to pick up holiday fabrics and notions
at rock bottom prices
and after Christmas you don't have the stress
of getting things made by a certain deadline!
So here's the plan:
The fun starts Monday January 6th
and runs through Friday the 31st.
I will set up a flicker group for you each week
to show off your fabulousness :)
This is NOT a talent contest!
Sewistas of ALL skill levels are welcome!
And YES...there will be awesome prizes!!!!
And NO....you don't have to sew Christmas items.
For 4 Fridays in January I will pick a winner at random
from the flicker group and I'll post the winners the next day.
Even if you don't win a prize,
you'll finally have some new Christmas goodness for yourself!!!
So who's ready????
Tell all your friends!
The more the merrier!!!
I'm having trouble with my blog button,
but check back later and I should
have it all worked out :)
Oh...and please leave a comment
and let me know if you are planning
on joining :)
Count me in too! :)

Count me in..I have that whole month off to sew before I begin packing Easter Baskets for six weeks ..a temp job that starts Feb 4 this year.
ReplyDeleteCount me in - sounds like a bright start to 2014.
ReplyDeleteoh, I'm in baby! I'm in.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun even if it is later than the first posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure what you mean by it's later than the earlier posts...?
Deleteokay I have never joined in on one of these sew longs but I am going to join yours Obi Wan :-)! I cannot wait for the fun to begin :-)!
ReplyDeleteI am a newbie to sewing and sew a-longs. First time for everything right-RIGHT! I'm going to do it. Kaffy
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I'm still doing Christmas sewing but as I cut out my projects, I cut out and kitted extras (usually to finish off the fabrics I chose). Now have a nice stack of goodies prepared and ready to sew in the new year!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing this!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously thinking about doing this. It might JUST be the push I need. :) sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Sounds like a plan. Need to get a kick start into 2014.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I need! I really want to do a tree skirt, stockings, bunting, etc. but I'm already stressed about the presents I still have to make (3 of which are quilts)! Sign me up!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I'm doing holiday sewing all thru the year.
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea.....I am behind, just like you. I was just thinking that I wish I was disciplined enough to sew for Christmas year round.
ReplyDeletesounds like fun !!
ReplyDeleteCount me in..Just luv your pattern for the tissue holder..going to make it for a friend out of aida cloth and cross stitch a design:)
ReplyDeleteI have never done one of these before but I am very tempted! I have been dissapointed I haven't been able to use some of the great fabric I have from last year!
ReplyDeleteHa! I am so in since I begged for you do this again :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to join in!!
