How fun is this?! Looking forward to play along.
I watched the video and the written instructions on how to add a link and I’m still confused. I do not have a blog, but I do have a Facebook account. Please help! I’m not sure if my entry ever uploaded and if it did I had a difficult time typing in my product description.
Hi, Judy! If you uploaded your project as a Facebook post, you may copy paste the link URL into the empty bar next to “link”. You can also simply upload your image instead if you click on the tab that says “upload”.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
The inspiration pieces you shared are fabulous! The wheels are turning and the thread and needle are definitely ready to play!!!
Can you enter a project that was created recently, using Altenew products? Before the announcement of this sewing contest? Thank you! So so very excited about this contest! I absolutely love stitching and Altenew products! ❤️
Hello Heidi, Thanks for the kind comment! We are so excited about this contest, too! You are welcome to enter your newly created Altenew sewing projects (if they have not been in any contests before). GOOD LUCK!
Thanks Virginia!
How do I know if my entry made it into the contest? I posted on FB with the #AltenewCreativityInspired.
