There is still time to enter the Threads Summer Sewing Challenge, but time is running out quickly. Photos of your garment must be uploaded to the contest gallery before 11:59 pm, August 17th. Simply share a photo of the full garment and some detail shots so we can see your construction techniques up close. Your entry can be a project you have just completed or something completed years ago. If your garment is made with linen then we would love to see it in the contest. You could be the lucky winner to take home the new Janome 1100D serger. Make sure to check out the competition in the gallery.

I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to enter - but I couldn't handle transferring my pictures from Picassa3 to the entry form. Tried for too many hours.
But, I wish everyone the best of luck. There are so many beautiful entries as well as a tremendous amount of talented sewers.

Best to all. Emmapaula

I am new to this and am trying to get my pictures posted for the linen contest. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
