Sew Small September

During the Month of September @neighborhoodpatterns and me @madswick_studio will be hosting a sewing challenge! As “small” shops ourselves we really wanted to think of a way we could all work together and help other small shops in our position create brand awareness and grow! Below is more info about the challenge as well as info about some small brands you might not know about.

Purpose

To encourage people to sew from small/growing designers and fabric shops. This will create brand awareness for small businesses and increase the sewing community's knowledge about up-and-coming designers.

What

Sew Small September is a sewing challenge hosted by Madeline (@madswick_studio) and Nat (@neighborhoodpatterns) to help sewists worldwide find small pattern designers and fabric stores. It will be a month of creating, sharing, and winning! We consider “small” to be under 15K followers on Instagram at the start of this challenge. 

Requirements/how to enter

Sew something from a pattern company or fabric store with less than 15k followers. Post about your make and use the #sewsmallseptember to enter the challenge. There is no post limit! 

Prizes

Check out this post to see the 9 prize bundles being offered by over 30 small shops! We will also be doing giveaways each week for those who are sharing our weekly story challenges. Be sure to follow @neighborhoodpatterns and @madswick_studio to find out how to enter.
