Do you love to sew?
Okay so I saw on the knitty forums that some people wanted to know if there was a sewing site like knitty. Well right now there isn't, but I think I could make one!
Submit a Design
If you would like to submit a pattern/design for consideration you may submit it to me at pixie AT pixiepurls.com.
Examples patterns:
- Cute Pajama Bottoms (long pants)
- Unique Pillow Sham
- Cute Top
- Toy
- Skirt
Requirments
The patterns would need to include directions, as detailed as possible with all the yardage required etc.
Another requirment of the person submiting the pattern is that they have a digital camera and be able to submit photograph's of the item. It may require the person going out and getting a friend to do a "photo shoot" for example outside if possible if it is clothing, and a good "action shot" of the toy for example being used by a child, or the curtains in the room, and then maybe some detail shots (close up on hems or stiches).
You would also need to provide a small bio, and a "profile" photograph (doesn't have to be of you, but we prefer that).
Other Articles
You may also submit a tips/tricks article, or anything else you think would fit well into the idea of the site. Basically I hope to be atleats half as cool as knitty, which is simply the coolest thing on the web for knitters.
If you think you can do all this please send me the draft of your pattern, as well as one sample photo (doesn't need to be the final photo's).
Deadline
The deadline for pattern submissions is September 1st 2005. Please feel free to send this post to your friends who like to sew!
I promise to design a very cool, very hip website to house these patterns :)
We need a name!
We would also love any name suggestions for the site/mag emailed to me as well.
Prizes
Anyone whose design is picked for the magazine will be rewarded 2 yards of fabric! Details to come later. I promise it will be nice stuff!
Same goes for name submission, but in this case the reward will be reserved for the person who picks the name that is used. If I get enough good name submissions I might post a pole.

I love the idea! I wish I had the time to participate, back to school and due date are fast approaching. I should be able to participate in a month or sew. In the meantime, I'll keep checking back to see what's going on. There are a few websites and gazillions of email lists that participate in sew-alongs, stash reduction contest, and etc.
