Sewing Contests and Sew-a-longs

Sewing contests and sew-a-longs are fun and a great way to challenge your own sewing skills.  Okay, winning is great also, but the experience makes it worth it, win or lose. The following Contests are found on Pattern Review, and Swoodsonsays. I always plan to enter, or actually enter, buy all the stuff, and forget to do it.  I hope you have better luck than I do. The first two Sewing Contests and Sew-a-longs listed are from pattern review.

All of the contests at Pattern Review have specific guidelines, be sure to read and follow the guidelines prior to beginning work and submission. For the month of October they are running the Sweater Knit Contest  and the Sew Small Contests. The following links will be helpful in the Pattern Review Contests, *General Rules for all Contests *Contest Eligibility*Voting Guidelines

The following lists of  Sewing Contests and Sew-a-longs are fairly comprehensive and compiled by Swoodsonsays. Thank you so much for this list!  I appreciated it so much I couldn’t help but share with my readers too. She maintains these monthly lists of Sewing Contests and Sew-a-longs and requests anyone hosting wishing to be added to her list shoot her an email  or use the contact form! Swoodsonsays updates as needed and includes weekly additions in her newsletter, subscribeI know I did, I sure don’t want to miss out on all this fun.
