GINGER JEANS SEWALONG SCHEDULE
So, this week we discussed sourcing denim and any tools or supplies you may want to acquire to make your Ginger Jeans. Next week we are jumping into the thick of it and actually getting our hands dirty – are you pumped?? I have some fun posts planned and I’m hoping that I can break down the process for anyone who’s a little nervous about making jeans. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.
I also rounded up some prizes for the end of the sewalong and may be adding more over the next few weeks. I will be offering two prize packs; one offered randomly (I’m thinking names in a hat), and one for the most creative Gingers. I’ll be looking for pretty guts, creative hacks, interesting details or fabric choices – you catch my my drift. You can enter to win by adding photos to the Ginger Sewalong Flickr Group, or by emailing me links to your blog posts. Also, I’d love to keep up with your progress so use the #gingerjeans hashtag on Instagram so I can creep on you.
GINGER GRAND PRIZE
- The Craftsy Pants Fitting Class (super excited about this one!)
- $25 Gift Certificate to Pattern Review
- $50 Gift certificate to Grey’s Fabric
MOST CREATIVE GINGERS PRIZE
- $40 Gift Certificate to Girl Charlee
- Your choice of the True Bias Sutton Blouse or Hudson Pants pattern
- a copy of The Magic Pattern Book
I am going to break down the tentative schedule below – I’m hoping we can wrap everything up in 3 weeks, so I’ll be trying to post on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If you’d like to add a sewalong button to your sidebar, I have a few different sizes for you:
125 x 125 pixels:
175 x 175 pixels:
250 x 250 pixels:
300 x 300 pixels:
