SEWING MACHINE DOUBLE DOWN: Last Minute Inspiration!

Today is the last day to enter the SEWING MACHINE DOUBLE DOWN CONTEST! Entries close at 11:59 p.m. PST tonight, Wednesday, February 9th. Need some last minute inspiration? You're in luck!

Our friend Kathy from Merriment Design created this awesome apron pattern with built-in potholders and secret iPhone compartment (genius)! We thought this was super stunning; when we learned she had a free pattern for you we had to share. Get it here: Merriment Design Free Apron Pattern.

And I'll let you in on a little secret... Kathy is on our panel of contest judges! The rest of the esteemed panel will be revealed friday, you're going to freak when you see all the amazing ladies who'll be perusing your creations!

Tristin said...: There's a whole panel of judges? Whoa mama!

The fabric on this apron is gorgeous!; February 9, 2011 at 5:09 AM
Anonymous said...: That apron/potholder is FANTASTIC! I can't wait for the reveal...I'm totally potholder crazy!; February 9, 2011 at 5:21 AM
Catherine said...: Love it! {and the sweet little foot poking into the apron picture!}

Thanks so much for hosting this contest - - I feel like it really pushed me to think creatively...even though I still am having a bit of a war with bias tape. Grr.; February 9, 2011 at 5:37 AM
SewLindaAnn said...: Thank you for your Bias Binding tute. I went looking through all my books for clear instructions and a few pics to make it truly understandable and found none. I remembered seeing a link with your pot holder tute and waited patiently for my husband to re-connect the internet so I could try it. Perfect! Thank you, I'm on my 2nd one and I totally get it.; February 9, 2011 at 5:43 AM
Vanessa Hewell said...: off to finish my entry!; February 9, 2011 at 6:10 AM
Meansgirl said...: As if it wasn't intimidating enough to just have you two judging!! a whole panel... but I feel great about my entry even just for the fact that I actually turned something in. I love your site for the inspiration and challenge!; February 9, 2011 at 11:17 AM
Craft Snob said...: Oh geez! If Kathy were competing she'd win! So cool!; February 9, 2011 at 11:32 AM
Anonymous said...: Is there a particular timezone that corresponds with that midnight deadline? Thanks!; February 9, 2011 at 1:26 PM
Katie Lewis said...: This is so pretty. And useful! I think I'd wear it around all day.; February 9, 2011 at 2:27 PM
Sydney said...: Such a great idea! I'll be making one....; February 9, 2011 at 7:59 PM
