When Missy contacted me two months ago (right as we were loading our moving truck) with her idea for a Crafter/Sewer online competition I wanted to drop everything right then and get sewing. Since becoming an avid Project Runway watcher I've always thought it would be fun to post some weekly challenge ideas on the blog and have everyone participate with their interpretation of it. But that was the extent of it. It was just a thought.
Enter: Missy with her fabulous blog, her fabulous competition idea, and a group of very fun crafters to get it all going. Missy, you're genius! Thank you for making it happen.
Basically:10 crafters
10 weeks
10 weekly challenges
* A Theme will be posted at the beginning of the week.
* Crafters create their interpretation of that theme (we already have this week's theme in the works).
* Projects will be posted on SoYouThinkYou'reCrafty and YOU and ANYONE can go online and vote for your favorite! (all projects will be anonymous).
* The Winner will be announced on Monday and their project's tutorial will be on the SYTYC website. (and the losing project crafter will be eliminated).
And that's how it works! Sounds fun right? I agree. And look at this great group of ladies we're talking about:
A talented bunch! I just pray I can keep up with it all. A challenge each week? Okay. Baby steps to the next week. Baby steps. And in the middle of that week...try to throw in a bunch of handmade Christmas gifts and upcoming craft boutique inventory. 'Tis the season to be busy!The first challenge will be posted THIS Monday, 11/2 on the SYTYC website. I'll have a reminder here on MADE and I always have the SYTYC button on my sidebar.

What a cool idea! :) I'll admit, I was a little bit excited what I saw the "SYTYC" craft part but was puzzled as to why the "D" was missing. This will be a great competition!
Ooooh! I love it! I am so excited to see what everyone makes. I will be following for sure! And probably even making some of the crafts when the tutorials are published!
yay! Can't wait to see what you all create. Off to follow the SYTYC blog!
I look forward to this competition. I love Project Runway,and I love to craft.Putting the idea together is fantastic! I look forward to each crafter and their great ideas!
Wow -- can't wait to see you in action! I don't know how you do it all...
Oh my goodness, I'm so nervous! I'm not pleased with my project that I submitted, but I think it will just be fun to see what others craft up.
How neat! I can't wait to see what you do!
Am totally looking forward to watching this all unfold! And, like you, am truly on-my-knees praying I'm up to the challenge of the coming months....
Break a leg! Or a needle??
How awesome! So exciting! I'm going to try to guess which ones are yours. But you're always surprising me with your creativity, so I don't know...
Very cute costumes, and cute entry for the SYTYCC ;-) My question though is where do have you custom tags made at? I love your side tags and clothing tags, I would like to have some made, but dont know where to find them.
This is how I found you! It is SUCH a fun idea. I can't wait to see what else you come up with!
