It was our biggest series ever and certainly one of our biggest Great Giveaways ever. Just after Christmas, we drew one winner at random from the nearly 500 comments posted to the site.

2013 here we come... we're ready for another great year! 2012 was very successful for Sew4home.

Our Gift 2 You - Part 2: S4H Wearables
THIS GREAT GIVEAWAY ENDED 01/11/13. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.
As we mentioned in our Christmas Eve post last week, it's time for us to find new homes for some of our beautiful S4H samples. Our first Gift 2 You Giveaway was a set of three pretty pillows. Today, we've selected three wonderful wearables that just might come to live at your house.
Happy New Year!
Proving anyone can (and should) make their own home décor (and lots of other cool stuff) is our goal here at Sew4Home. If we've helped you catch the sewing bug - or inspired you with our projects and articles, then your New Year's task is simple: pass on your skill. Find two or three friends or relations who would benefit from knowing how to sew. If you're reading this, and you've never even sat down to turn on a sewing machine.... guess what? Every single one of us who sews – even the most expert seamstress – was once where you are today. Nobody is born knowing how to sew. (If you hear about a newborn making his or her own receiving blanket, please let us know.) Fortunately, there are really only two steps: 1) a desire to do it, and 2) doing it.
2013 Sewing Resolutions
2013 is a great year to expand your creative horizons and explore new sewing projects and techniques. Here at Sew4Home, we've come up with our own New Year's Resolutions list, and we've been working with our fabulous sponsoring partners to plan a full year of fun. We hope you come back often to see, learn and do; and of course, when you come... bring all your friends! There will be plenty of inspiration to go around.

Happy Holidays From All Of Us At Sew4Home
We're so glad you choose to spend a little of your precious time with us every day, and we hope the inspiration you find bolsters your creative spirit.

And... we trust you remembered to put a little something under the tree for your loyal sewing machine - perhaps a new spool of thread or a fresh pack of needles.
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Our Gift 2 You - Part 1: S4H Pillow Trio
THIS GREAT GIVEAWAY CLOSED 12/31/12. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.
Visitors often wonder what happens to all our samples. We've even had a number of people ask if they can buy them or just have them! We use our pretty finished projects to decorate booths at trade shows. Often our sponsors ask to borrow them for the same reason or to use in displays at large retail outlets. So, sometimes they do travel around, but for the most part, they live in our S4H studios as beautiful decorations. However... you can have too much of a good thing. We decided it was time some of our samples found a new home for the holidays and beyond. Today is part one of Our Gift 2 You: your chance to win a set of S4H samples.
