Let the Dresses contest begin! (June 1st – 7th)

It’s the first day of June and that means it’s Indie Pattern Month, yeah! 😀

This week we kick off with the Dresses competition.

Curious about the pattern outlines we’ve used in the competition banner? Of course you are!

They are (L to R): Colette Patterns Ceylon, Jennifer Lauren Vintage Felicity, Kate and Rose Giselle, Papercut Patterns Midsummers Night’s Dream, Sew Chic Tia and Named Leotie.

How to enter:

Add your post, showing off your new dress you’ve made using an indie pattern between 1 May and now. Your post must go up on The Monthly Stitch between June 1st (00:00 UTC) until June 7th (24:00 UTC).

We’re looking forward to seeing all your fabulous Dresses. Remember to tag your posts ‘Indie Pattern Month 2015‘ and ‘Dresses (June 1st – 7th) 2015‘  and follow the contest rules to be eligible for some amazing prizes.

The winners:

At the end of the week the four judges will choose 15 entries to go into the final. Their choices are based on four key factors: garment quality, creativity, blog post quality, and photography.

Finalists for the Dresses competition will be posted here on the Monthly Stitch on June 10th and the TMS community will vote for their favourites. We’ll announce the winners on June 14th.

Don’t want to enter the competitions?

Don’t forget, if competitions aren’t your thing, you can still sew from any Indie pattern this month and post on the blog. Just tag your posts with ‘Indie Pattern Month 2015‘ and we’ll still get to see your great Indie pattern makes.
