I am issuing a challenge....

...to all of my readers- Here are the details: 1) Leave a comment here & if you are not a blogger customer, email me (jen@fabricbliss.com) your contact info as well. This is how you'll enter PART I. 2) I will randomly pick 5 comments on Monday, November 10th. 3)Said commenters will receive a grab bag of various fabric and notions from me next week. 4)These commenters will have until the end of November to create something using at least 4 inches of each piece of fabric or notions from said grab bag to create something apparel -ish- including a bag or a shirt or a dress or an apron. You can add some of your own fabric as well, but the majority needs to be mostly stuff I sent you. 5) Creaters will then email me pics of said creations and I will post them on my blog, along with a link to your webstore. You all will then be able to vote on said creations. The winning creation will win a $100 gift certificate to FabricBliss.com You can receive an additional 10 entries to the initial part of the challenge by reposting this on your blog. Just email me the link after you post it. And yes. The grab bag will include some CRAZY fabric combinations. But I just know you'll make it work :) Just call me Tim.

Pick me, pick me (raising hand really high)! LOL! I love these types of challenges. I love getting fabric that others have picked out to create with. It helps me think outside of the box and work with fabrics/supplies that I might not have picked on my own.

I also blogged about it!! :)

This sounds so fun!! Just the type of thing I need to get those creative juices flowing...Count me in and ready to sew, sew, sew!!! (deadlines are good as they force me to spend a little qualit me time in my crating room)

Nicole said...

Okay, so I blogged it. It said to email you, but I wasn't sure what email....I hope this counts too! :)

Fledgling said...

Jen, what a fun idea! But don't pick me. Because I WILL appliqué a t-shirt for you out of the PINK cowboy fabric that says "Come back, Squiggy! Come back!". Or that anime cow fabric (those are cows, aren't they?).

Good luck. Really, don't pick me. Count this as another entry for Toni. Or Lisa. Or Wendy. Make Wendy do this. This is an official entry for Wendy. W-E-N-D-Y. Wen. Dy.

;-) -N.

Well, the Halloween decorations have been replaced by Thanksgiving decorations (aren't turkeys just adorable!). The house has had its weekly deep cleaning. The Christmas portrait of the children is being developed, and I've finished wrapping the holiday presents. Since I have some extra time on my hands, I'd love to participate in your quaint little challenge. It sounds entertaining!

Hoss said...

One of my close friends tells me that my dress creations give her vertigo because of the color/pattern mixes. With a challenge like this, I could REALLY make her head spin... And I wouldn't even have to make up the fabric combos myself!

webhex said...

The fabricbliss shop makes my mouth water every time I see it (which is why I avoid it most of the time....)
The fabric is inspirational, I'd love to see where it would take me
