Well…..I promised prizes for the community challenge element of The Refashioners 2015….and BOY do we have some prizes for you! This is ONE prize package that will be awarded to ONE lucky winner . Details on how to enter can be found here. But suffice to say, get a shirt, refashion it, SHARE it, and you will automatically be in with a chance of winning this PHENOMENAL prize package. It’s actually now worth over £600! The challenge is open internationally and the deadline for entry is being extended to Sunday 27th September. Because lets face it. Not a great deal of sewing gets done until the kids go back to school!! So without further ado…here’s the lowdown on what you could win…just for refashioning a shirt! I know!! Right?!
Megan Nielsen is adding print copies of her Darling Ranges, Brumby and Tania patterns into the mix…
Sally is taking part in this years Blogger Challenge but also has her own pattern line over at Capital Chic Patterns; and is gifting a PDF copy of her super cute Bellini shirt pattern. Gotta be a perfect partner for a shirt refashion, right?!
Dixie is also one of the awesome line up of bloggers taking part in The Refashioners 2015. (She’s a veteran you know! Having taken part in the first two series as well!) She’s donating a PDF copy of the gorgeous Bonnell Dress from her pattern line at Dixie DIY…
Lisa and the team at Sew Over It are giving away a PDF copy of their gorgeous Vintage Shirt Dress pattern and taking part in the blogger challenge to boot…
By Hand London will let the lucky winner select any 3 PDF patterns of their choice from their fantastic pattern line. Here’s just a selection….but head over and have a browse and start planning what you would choose! Their very own Elisalex is part of this years blogger line up too!
Tessuti Fabrics are offering the lucky winner two of their printed patterns. I’m currently crushing on their Sydney Jacket and have just completed my first (yet to be blogged) Suzy Pants; but head over and check out the rest of their line to see what else you could choose…
Closet Case Files are adding your choice of PDF pattern to this fantastic package. I keep thinking a shorty version of the Carolyn Pajamas would be an awesome shirt refashion! But there are so many gems to choose from! Take a look! Heather Lou is another of this years participants…
Grainline Studio are also adding in a PDF pattern of your choice! I want ALL the patterns! Jen Beeman is one of my style and sewing crushes. Love the simplicity of her designs. I have the Alder Shirtdress and keep meaning to try out a shirt refashion with that too…
Zoe, another veteran who’s been a part of The Refashioners journey right from the outset is throwing in a copy of her Dolores Batwing Pattern. This is one of those patterns I suspect you will end up making over and over again. I really must get round to making this!
Burdastyle UK are donating a FIVE pattern bundle from their huge range of digital patterns. (over 2500!) You could seriously lose half a day just browsing and picking the ones you want!!
Marilla Walker is also taking part in this years challenge and offering up a PDF copy of her Maya Pattern (one of my TNT patterns. I have six to date!) from her pattern line PLUS 1m of hand painted fabric to the lucky winner…
DIY Couture – A signed copy of this fantastic book from the author herself Rosie Martin. Rosie couldn’t take part in this years challenge because she is busy writing her next book! If it’s anything like as good as this one…I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for that one!!
Wendy Ward is not only part of this year’s line up, but she is also throwing in a signed copy of her brilliant book The Beginners Guide to Dressmaking…
Simply Sewing Magazine are gifting a 1 year subscription to the magazine!! (Print if you are UK based and digital if not). I write a refashioning piece for the magazine every month; and guess who’s shirt refashion is gracing the front cover there? 😉 Just another possible way to go about your shirt refashion…
Craftsy are giving one lucky winner their choice of online class from their huge range. I’m intrigued by this pattern drafting one, but you could pick ANY class you like. Go browse!
Tilly is offering a place on her new online workshop. So if jersey is your nemesis…that’s you sorted! (Did you know Tilly took part in the very first series of The Refashioners back in 2011?) Taught through videos, the workshop shows you stress-free tips and techniques for sewing stretchy jersey on a regular sewing machine – no overlocker or serger required! AND it includes a free digital copy of the new Agnes pattern 😉
Sew Crafty are donating this sewing essentials toolkit plus a bonus suprise gift…(a yet to be released new product 😉 Keep an eye on their IG feed for deets!)

Greys Fabric…as well as lending us Sarah to participate in the blogger challenge…are giving the winner $25 to spend in store or online…if the amount of underwear popping up on my IG feed is anything to go by, then these Watson Kits are worth a look!
The Village Haberdashery is gifting a £25 gift voucher to spend in store or online too, courtesy of the lovely Annie..
Cashmerette (Jenny is among the line up too!) is offering the winner a copy of her newly released Curvy Sketchbook.

Wanting to add a little gift of their own, a number of this year’s line up have delved into their own stashes or made something with their own hands to add to the prize pool…
Tasha is gifting a vintage pattern and notions from her personal collection…
Marie is adding these beautiful reproduction patterns from her personal stash of vintage and vintage inspired patterns (which I’m reliably informed is somewhat impressive!)
Jenna is another vintage devotee and is adding these two vintage patterns into the mix…
Ingrid sells her handmade accessorieson Etsy; and she’s used the leftover scraps from her shirt refashion to make these zippered pouches to add to the prize package!
and finally…Erin made these indigo shibori bandanas!
