And the New To Me contest winners are….

Wow, what an absolutely fantastic response we had to the New To Me contest for Indie Pattern Month! 48 gorgeous, creative, impressive garments were stitched up and entered in the contest, from a wide variety of indie labels. We had so much fun reading all the posts, looking at all the images, and getting inspired by all of your creativity. And we had a heck of a hard job narrowing it down to the 14 finalists!

And now, the voting has finished. We’ve counted up the votes and it’s time to answer the big question – who won???

But sadly, much as we’d love to give a prize to everyone, there can be only eight winners. (Although you’re all winners, really, as you all have fabulous new garments to wear and new indie designers you’ve discovered!)

So, here goes……
