November - Monthly Project Announcement!

This is going to be a very fun sewing month! My hope is that it can serve at least 2 purposes, that of supporting the outreach of Create H.O.P.E. Designs AND helping you finish some handmade Christmas gifts for your list. What do you think? Are you up for it?

 Here's how it will work...
I will introduce a different Create H.O.P.E. Designs pattern each week this month, and share my sewing experience and results using that pattern throughout the week. I invite you to sew along as often as you'd like!  
THE BONUS!!!
Each time you do, you can be entered in our Monthly Project Giveaway! That's right, I'm going to include prizes to make it even more fun! And you don't even have to sew the exact pattern I am, ANY Create H.O.P.E. Designs pattern that you use qualifies you to enter. Here's all you need to do...

•  Check out the Create H.O.P.E. Designs pattern shop
• Purchase & Sew your favorite $5 patterns
• Write a public blog post sharing pictures of your completed project (if you don't have a blog, it's free & easy to start one, and what better first post than this!?!)
• Add your link(s) here for everyone to check out.

Use your name & the name of the pattern you have sewn in your link. 

ex. Kristy - 30 Minute Shorts  

This way I will be able to easily announce the winners at the end of the month, plus, I will link to each entry on the Hopeful Threads facebook page, so I'll be able to give you a personal "shout out" and a little extra exposure for your blogs!

 MULTIPLE ENTRIES POSSIBLE!!!
**Every CHD pattern you sew and write a separate post about can be linked here as another entry!** There are currently 12 patterns available! :)

What do you have the chance of winning???
Two of you will win these lovely bundles of 5 Izzy & Ivy Patterns AND 5 Fat Quarters of designer fabrics!

The patterns include:

Addie Joe Skirts

Little Vicki

Messenger Bag

Princess Bella

AND

Sweet Polly's Play Clothes!

PLUS, a bundle of 5 Fat Quarters of the playful Bon Voyage fabric collection!

So come on! Help spread the word of the outreach of Create H.O.P.E. Designs, mark a few gifts off your list AND have a chance at some lovely prize bundles!

Giveaway open to US & Canadian residents, however, the $5 patterns are a steal of a deal no matter where you are, so really a prize in themselves! (**NOTE** Thanks to the idea of one of our international readers, if you are outside of the countries listed above and want to enter with the understanding that you would be responsible for postage, you are most welcome!!!) Winners will be selected from entries linked up as described above and announced here Wednesday, November 30th.
SUBMISSIONS CLOSED! THANKS FOR SEWING ALONG!

The first pattern I will be sewing is my own contribution to Create H.O.P.E. Designs, which was specially created for my daughter, the A+ Art Portfolio.

 I will actually be giving the one I make away over on the Create H.O.P.E. Designs website if you're interested! ;) If you're not following them yet, you've been missing out!

SEEEEWWWW....Let's have some fun sewing together this month! :)
