In previous years, I've done a mixture of discounts and giveaways but this year I have a pretty busy month. So while I still want to celebrate the month, I don't have as much time for the blog posts and follow up.
To that end I will share an abbreviated celebration and I've concentrated on online fabric store giveaways...not discounts but actual gift card giveaways. Cause y'all know I love fabric more than ANYTHING! That's why the previous post was about how to buy fabric online. My favorite fabric stores are offering gift card denominations from $50 - $100.
Each Monday, I will announce a new fabric store and you will have until Friday at midnight EST of that week to enter. Entries left after midnight, will not be considered for the giveaway. Winners will be announced on Saturdays. Listed below are the rules to enter each giveaway. If any of the rules are violated, your entry will be ineligible for the giveaway.
This give away is open to everyone, as long as the online fabric retailer ships to you. If you're not in the US, I would check that information on their websites before entering the giveaway...most have it in their Q&A sections.
Rules for Giveaway:
1. You MUST leave a comment on my original post on Blogger ONLY. Any entries left ANYWHERE else and this includes bloglovin' or another reader, are ineligible.
2. If you use "Unknown" as a way to enter the giveaway, and your name and/or email address is not included in the comment, your entry is ineligible.
3. If you win a giveaway, please do not enter any of the following giveaways. IF you leave a comment on subsequent posts, I will delete it.
4. All winners have until 7 days after the announcement to send their name to me at cnorman underscore 98 at yahoo dot com. If you DO NOT do so in that amount of time, a new winner will be picked and announced...no exceptions.
5. Winners will be chosen by the Random Generator and I will list the number picked out of the number of entries, along with the winners name.
6. Once the winner's name is given to the online fabric store proprietor, all subsequent interactions are between you and the owner. I'm not responsible for shipping problems, fabric quality, etc. But may I say right here that I've only chosen to work with online retailers that I trust and know the quality of their goods as well as their shipping methods. They are ALL reputable small business owners!!!
These are not all of my favorite online fabric stores. I could have easily held 10 giveaways instead of the six that will be shared. However, as I stated above I have a busy month so this is what I can handle.
Now to the good stuff...these are the six online fabric stores that have chosen to participate and the dates the giveaways will start. Mark your calendar so you don't miss any of them!
September 3rd - Elliott Berman
September 8th - Winner of Elliott Berman gift card will be announced
September 10th - Blackbird Fabrics
September 15th - Winner of Blackbird Fabrics gift card will be announced

September 29th - Winner of Smugglers Daughter gift card will be announced

Happy National Sewing Month!

ReplyDeleteI've never purchased fabric online, but willing to start looking at it seriously now, with your post of how easy it is to do! I have always liked "handling" the fabric before purchasing and suppose I could order swatches so that I can pre-determine whether or not I want more. . . Thanks for always posting informative sewing info.!
