Hello makers!
I thought it was high time that I told to you all about the AMAZING prizes for my creative challenge ‘From Stitch To Stage‘ because there are many and they are INCREDIBLE!
Firstly the ones from me and my music team…
THE RUNNERS UP:
-
Will be featured in a photoshoot
This will be wearing your costume for a fully fledged photoshoot by the amazing Rachel Sherlock – who did these photos…
Also… if you happen to live nearby and want to come and join us for the day that would be lovely or maybe even a live skype session if you live on the other side of the world!
-
Worn on stage
Well this is the whole reason for this competition and the bit I am most excited about – I get to wear your amazing creations on stage!! Not only that but there will also be photos galore and probably videos of that too and hundreds of people will see your amazing creation in the flesh. I will probably get all emotional about that!! 😉
Again… if you happen to be near a concert of mine then you will be invited to come to the show plus a guest, as my guest!
THE WINNER:
Will get ALL of the above as well as having their outfit featured in a MUSIC VIDEO!
We put a lot of time and effort into our videos and it would mean the world to me to wear the winning design for one and get your work out to thousands of people!
Again – if you are free to join us for the video shoot I would LOVE that!
OK now let’s talk about the CRAFTY PRIZES!
I am completely blown away by the kindness and generosity of so many amazing crafty brands supporting and sponsoring From Stitch To Stage – and so so happy to be able to offer all of these to our winner and runners up!
Firstly THE GRAND PRIZE to our WINNER is:
AN ADJUSTOFORM DRESSMAKERS DUMMY
(SPECIFIED TO YOUR OWN SIZE!) FROM:
Worth £199, This Dressmakers dummy is an amazing tool for any dressmaker. You can draft and drape your own patterns, work out fitting issues and best thing of all adjust it to exactly your size!
Here is the description from Minerva:
The 4 part My Double form, has been developed to give the sewer the benefit of an updated and more natural female body shape and full shoulders for an improved hang to sleeves. Features: Adjustable 4 section body. Natural Female Shape. Long body allows garments to hang better. 10 automatic adjusting wheels simply turn to alter measurements. Support stand in one piece for ease of assembly and greater stability. Pin grip hem marker with basting attachment. Full shoulders.
I am over the moon to be able to offer this to my winner as it is so fitting to the competition and I hope you agree that it’s the perfect grand prize!
