A song and a dance - prizes for the challenge

So here is the promised song and dance about our wonderful prizes for the 'Around the World in 80 Dresses' Challenge. If you would like to be in the running to win one of them visit the challenge page and check out how you do this.



Our main prize is the new ReSew book generously pledged by author Jenny Wilding Cardon.The book contains a couple of ideas for dresses like the very summery dress below made from sheets. The book included not only fashion but also stylish stuff for the home like the rug made from old jeans and other great ideas. Loads of inspiration there. Jenny blogs on the Wildcards about her refashions/restylings, her family and life.

Let's have a look at the other prizes pledged so far:

• Editor Debbie has promised put together a little stash package for one lucky person. We don't have a picture of this yet but hopefully we will soon. Debbie blog at Minnado’s house about sewing, other making, consumption and life in general.
• Editor Erica is giving away a couple of lovely vintage sewing patterns (see photo). Erica blogs on Recycled Fashion and Recycled Sewing and if you need any advice on op-shopping/thrift shopping she even does tours in Melbourne.
  

• Then there is me, Eddie. I am giving away a piece of trim/tape with a handspun, crochet edge on linen and a bobbin lace flower brooch for you to use in your refashions if you wish. I have been making these for my Grey Duckling shop which will open hopefully this year. I blog on "Eddie's", where I am still looking to find a better name.
  

• As of yesterday we have a new pledge. Jamie from iMade is giving away 1 felted flower kit. If you win this you can choose between Teal Lotus, Pretty in Pink and Purple Daisy. Jamie has been crafting since she was a child and teaching others for nearly as long. Her website is www.iMadeCo.com and her blog is http://blog.iMadeCo.com.

I hope this all makes you want to join in the fun.

take care and happy refashioning,
Eddie
