Express Yourself in Linen
To enter, submit photographs of your garment into our Challenge Gallery by 11:59pm, August 17th, 2009, and you could win the new 1100D serger from Janome.
Be sure to include a brief description of your garment highlighting any special techniques you used to create the garment, what pattern you used, any modifications you made, or if you designed it yourself. In addition to an image of the full garment, please also include some details shots of your garment so we can see your construction techniques up close.
Threads editors will choose the winner based on creativity, best use of technique, quality of construction and style. Keep in mind that we’ll be judging from a photograph only, so the determinations will be based on the clarity of these features as seen in the photograph.
See official rules for more information.

You can enter a garment you have already created and written about on your blog. You will still need to upload the photos of your garment to our contest gallery. Click the link to "Enter your project" at the top of the page and share your photos.
Thanks,
