Are you a crafter? Then you’ve probably heard of Sublime Stitching. Jenny Hart designs some of the hippest, cutest embroidery patterns you could ever hope to get your paws on. Embroidery is a versatile and easy way to spiff up boring clothing, and personalize everything from pillows to window screens, and that’s why it shouldn’t be too hard for you to come up with a creative way to incorporate it in your next upcycling project.
With that in mind, Sublime Stitching has announced an upcycling contest, and guess who’s judging it? None other than Upcycling Exchange founder, Autumn Wiggins. So, show us your stuff, and win some awesome prizes!
How to Enter:
- Create something made of items that would have otherwise been thrown away or recycled (stained shirt, chipped glass). While we admit to being partial to embroidery, we will accept entries of any kind!
- Submit a photo of your entry by April 27, 2009 to the Sublime Stitching Customer Gallery. When you create the name for your project be sure to begin with the word “Upcycled”. (For example “Upcycled Book Mark”) This is important because otherwise we may not see your submission. That would be a bummer.
Prizes:
- First Prize: $50 gift certificate to Sublime Stitching, $50 gift certificate to Fred Flare, and a copy of Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things.
- Second Prize: Sublime Stitching Craft Pad and Sublime Stitching Lotus Flower Journal, and a copy of Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern.
- Third prize: Sublime Stitching Lotus Flower Journal and Issue 8 of Mixtape Zine.
Get crackin’ crafties!
