Greetings!
I am inviting you to participate in the #Sewapril2017 on Instagram this coming April. Each day of the month will have a challenge for you to post a photo or video on Instagram to a daily theme. The goal is to network with those who love to sew and I want to give it an educational flavor. Every day a theme is sponsored, a gift will be sent to the winner from that sponsor. My goal is to have every day sponsored.
#sewapril2017 Photo Challenge is pulling in great sponsors like
Promenade Fine Fabrics, a small family business based in New Orleans, Louisiana. They provide their customers with the finest quality vintage and new fabrics from all over the world. They travel to Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, and Switzerland to search for and hand-select rare and exquisite materials.
Additionally, they offer a full array of basic fabrics and sewing supplies.
In addition to their selection of textiles, Promenade also carries vintage ribbons, appliqués, bridal fabrics and trims, buttons, notions, and millinery supplies. Check them out at Promenade Fine Fabrics
Another sponsor is Elliott Berman Textiles in New York. Check them out at ElliottBermanTextiles or at EBTfabrics on Instagram. Their photos are copyrighted so I cannot show you their wonderful fabrics.
