National Sewing Month

To celebrate National Sewing Month which is focusing on sustainability how about making some bowl covers? Shana will be doing a demo on these on Comment Sold.

REVERSIBLE BOWL COVERS (CLPLDB026) Providing beauty with function is always a good thing! The pattern provides instructions for you to customize the covers to your bowls so the fit is perfect every time. The covers also work well for other uses. Why not make them to fit mason jars? Add a buttonhole on top for a straw and you have a great drink cover! Or use one to cover and store your sourdough starter while it is being fed.

INSTRUCTIONS & RULES:

• No purchase is necessary, but I know it’s tough to control yourself. 
• The contest: Visit the most quilt shops across the globe during September, October and November of 2024. When you visit each shop, please make sure to tell them that, “Scott Fortunoff from the Jaftex Corporation sent me.”
• Duration: Sunday, September 1st, 2024 to Saturday, November 30th, 2024. 
• On Saturday, November 30th, 2024, post your shop total visits on my @JaftexPresident Facebook page when queried. Each shop can only be counted once.
• To play along with the #ScottSentMe2024 Challenge, you must have a Facebook account and make it public for the duration of the challenge. In order to win, you must follow my @jaftexpresident Facebook account.
• On Friday, December 6, 2024, I will ask the top consumers who visited the most shops for undeniable proof of all the shops they visited.

PROOF OF VISITS: 

• To prove that a certain shop was visited, here are ideas of things to include in the photos (one or more forms of incontrovertible proof is ideal):
• You must be in at least one of the proof photos for every single shop visited.
• A picture in front of the shop’s signage. If the signage is outside, you will also need proof you went inside the shop.
• A picture with the owner or a shop employee if that is not too disruptive to the business and they are willing to pose.
• A picture of you in the shop, as long as there is something that makes it clear what shop you were in i.e. a sign, a banner or a flyer, etc.
• A picture of the shop’s business card.
• A photo of a shopping bag from the store.
• A credit card statement with a purchase from the store.
