I can hardly believe that this is the 4th year of Purse Palooza! This is my most favorite event on my blog, and anywhere I go, people seem to be asking about it, so your wait is over! It’s Purse Palooza time! Here are the details, whether you’re new here or to refresh your memory from last year!
- Every weekday from October 2nd – October 29th, I have 2 amazing guest bloggers scheduled to share with you a purse sewing pattern review. The review will contain detailed information about what they thought about the sewing pattern, modifications they made, what kind of interfacing they used, and more! Get inspired!
- Even more exciting…THERE WILL BE A GIVEAWAY EVERY WEEKDAY DURING THE EVENT! That’s right, 20 GIVEAWAYS! Tiffany of This Crafty Fox, Emma of For My Little Monster, and Kylie of My Lil Moo Designs are helping with the giveaway postings this year.
- At the end of the event, you will get a chance to show me a purse(s) you’ve made in order to win some amazing prizes! Of course, international entries are welcome too!
SCHEDULE
Contest Rules
1. Check out all the purse pattern reviews throughout the month and get inspired to sew up a purse of your own!
2. Link up your completed purse right at the bottom of this post BETWEEN OCTOBER 5th AND NOVEMBER 14th. Your purse must be created and photographed between those dates; purses made prior to October 5, 2015 will be disqualified. The purse may be of your own design, or made from a sewing pattern. You can link from Flickr, your blog post, Instagram, or wherever else you host your photos.
3. There is no limit to how many purses you may enter, as long as they were made between October 5th and November 14th. Only one link-up per purse please, but you may make multiple purses, as long as each is linked up once.
*Note: Besides bags and purses, for this event I will also accept clutches, backpacks, wallets, etc.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to comment on this post and I will get back to you!
