Welcome to the House Beautiful Contest, as the name says, this all about sewing for the home – upholstery, slip covers, curtains, blinds, cushion covers…
Here are a few rules:
1. Sew something beautiful or useful (or both) for a home (yours or someone else's).
2. Home Decor is defined as anything used to decorate a home, indoor or out (e.g., curtains, cushions, quilts, tablecloths, bed linens, slipcovers, rag/patchwork/pom pom rugs, blinds, upholstery.....).
3. The items entered must include a significant sewn component. Remember this is a sewing competition, not a craft contest. (Eg: a sewn slipcover would qualify, but reupholstering a chair using only a staple gun would not qualify.)
4. You can enter multiple coordinating items as part of a single entry in the contest. (eg: a tablecloth and napkins, a duvet and pillow covers, etc).
5. You may enter multiple entries in the contest (but keep in mind you will be competing against yourself.)
6. Sewing starts on August 1st and finishes on August 31st - please submit pictures and a quick write up of your entries in this thread by September 7th.
7. Any Pattern can be used (commercial, self-drafted, combinations, downloaded , magazine patterns) or no pattern.
As usual, please use the template below to submit your entry:
