A Modern Thread || Huge Sewing Giveaway

Are you a fan of Pinterest? Personally I have a love it. I LOVE all the eye candy and inspiration you can find, it’s my go-to place when searching for something crafty. I am however not a very good pinner, or at least I haven’t been so far.  In an effort to embrace social media and foster my creative side this year I am branching out a bit. One of the new exciting things this year is joining a Pinterest Board. 20 bloggers (myself included) have joined forces to create a fantastic group board. Why is this exciting? Because now tons of fantastic sewing tutorials and projects are all in one place. Also to get the excitement started we have put together an AMAZING giveaway with prizes worth $600! All you have to do is follow the group board to enter. (simple)

And if you’d like to get to know the bloggers involved a little better, have fun checking out their individual blogs:

One lucky winner will receive a $200 gift card to Amazon.com, which is enough to purchase a brand new SEWING MACHINE or even a SERGER! A new machine can make sewing so much more enjoyable – no more pulling your hair out when you can’t get the tension right or the bobbin thread keeps bunching up.
