**NOW CLOSED**I'm so excited about the 'Around the world in 80 dresses' challenge. I have my dress all ready to show you all and I have been thinking hard about what to giveaway as a prize for the draw.
If you want to know more about the challenge visit the 'Around the World in 80 Dresses' challenge page!
So far we have some wonderful prizes ready for you. The main one is the new ReSew book generously pledged by author Jenny Wilding Cardon.
The book has a wonderful collection of project ideas to make from thrift store find and I thought it would be perfect for all you refashionistas out there. I will shortly do a song and a dance about it (just to make Jenny giggle) and show you pictures of a couple of the dress related projects.
Here are some of the other giveaway prizes pledged so far by the Editors:
- Deborah will put together a little stash package for one lucky person.
- Erica is giving away a couple of lovely vintage sewing patterns.
- I will be adding some lace edging/trimming and embellishments.
At this point I would like to ask all of you if you are interested in adding a little giveaway to the prize draw. Do you have a couple of patterns you know you will never use. A scrap of fabric that is just not your colour. Embellishments that just don't suit your style. Or maybe something you make and would like to share around. Why not pledge it as a prize and I will sing and dance (I'm gonna be hoarse and dizzy at the end of this) about you, your blog and your generous pledged prize.
So what, you might want to know, do I do if I want to win one of these prizes?
It will be like a raffle where you can get 1-3 tickets for each thing you do.
1 Ticket: Spreading the word - mention the challenge on twitter, facebook or your blog (adding a link to the challenge: http://refashionco-op.blogspot.com/p/around-world-in-80-dresses-challenge.html) - just add a comment to the challenge page. 1 comment about how you spread the word = 1 ticket.
2 Tickets: Posting a dress refashion on the Refashion Co-op. Use the 'dresses' and the 'challenge' labels to enter the refashion. You can do as many refashions as you want but the final item must be a dress - how you get there is up to you.
3 Tickets: Post a dress tutorial and use the 'dresses' and 'tutorials' labels to enter.
Take care,
Eddie

Ooh I really want that book. So if you were to pleadge a prize does that disqualify you from winning any of the other ones?
We would love to donate a prize! iMade will donate a felted flower kit of the winner's choice. These flowers are perfect for attaching to purses, dresses, hats, cardigans, diaper bags, etc. and liven up any outfit. The winner can choose Teal Lotus (http://bit.ly/iQuxE5), Pretty in Pink (http://bit.ly/ko7BHV), or Purple Daisy (http://bit.ly/mdkKDM).
Would we be allowed to donate a piece of clothing as a prize? I picked up a skirt suit while making a quick stop at the thrift store for the sole purpose of getting the jacket. I'm not really feeling the skirt, though, and it's a bit too matchy-matchy for my taste. So I'd love to see if one of the refashionistas can use it for a project! (Or keep it as is, lol! It's a cute skirt, just not on me.)
No Reverse Clothing, If you pledge a prize you can still enter the draw. let me know,
Eddie
iMade and Becky,
Thank you for your generosity. A felted flower kit sounds wonderful and Becky I agree it will be very fun to see how someone else can transform that skirt suit that it just not for you.
Send me an email maybe with a picture and I will add you to the pledge list (eddie at roued dot com).
take care,
Eddie
I was also wondering, do little girl's dresses count?
I think little girls dresses definitely count. A dress is a dress after all.
