Sew Sweetness+Sizzix Maker’s Challenge

I’m very excited to announce my partnership with Sizzix+Free Spirit Fabrics to bring you the Sew Sweetness Maker’s Challenge!

The winner will be randomly drawn from all entries received, and the prize is a bundle of Free Spirit fabric, Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine, and the NEW FALL Sew Sweetness dies to be launched in October 2017 (retail value approximately $350).

The challenge is open from August 20-September 30. The only requirement is that you need to use one of my Sizzix dies for your project (dies are available at your local quilt shop or here) and any Free Spirit fabric.

 

To help you get started, here are my Sizzix dies and the companion videos on how to make the projects:

The Box Pouch die will cut out all of the fabric and interfacing needed to make the entire project, which makes it fast and easy to make lots of box pouches as gifts! These would be great for your favorite student or teacher well!

 

The Purse Tab die will cut out 2 different styles of purse tab in 2 different sizes (this is also great for leather or cork fabric as well!). For the bag shown on the packaging, I had to cut out 8 purse tabs to make the bag; normally, this took me well over 30 minutes to trace and cut out all of those tabs. With the Sizzix die, it takes just minutes, and all of the tabs match perfectly!

 

The Coin Purse die makes 2 different sizes of Coin Purse, and aren’t they adorable? You can find the metal frame hardware at your favorite quilt shop or here. This project only takes minutes to make, with minimal sewing. The metal frame glues into the top of the fabric with fabric glue (I like Beacon Fabric Tac or Beacon 3-in-1 glue).

 

I hope you’re excited about this challenge, I know I sure am! Enter as many times as you’d like, and all sewing skill levels are invited to enter! I can’t wait to see your finished projects!

      Hi Hannah! Thank you so much! Can you trying adding a jpg instead and see if that makes a difference? I suspect that is why. Thank you!

    Just entered my small coin pouch & also ordered the box pouch die, so excited to make some box pouches for holiday gifts! Would love to win the Big Shot Pro, so I don’t have to keep borrowing my friend’s Big Shot, lol.
