We love that so many of you tried your hand at creating beautiful sewing projects, and we thoroughly enjoyed looking at each and every single one of your entries. It was definitely a challenge to pick our favorites, and we want to thank all of you for participating in this challenge!
Ok, so without further ado, here are our winners.
First up are our top three winners who simply astounded us with their gorgeous fabric and thread projects.
1st Place: Camping Embroidery
Our first place winner who will receive a $150 Altenew gift card is Joy Dzousa.
We were amazed by the detailed imagery on this embroidered hoop. Joy really brought a camp scene to life with a needle and thread. We love how she combined our Camp Life and Mini Moon Stamp Sets for this beautiful piece of art, and the Satin White Sequins added a lovely starry touch! Congratulations, Joy!
2nd Place: Floral Embroidery
Our second place winner who will receive a $100 Altenew gift card is Jessica.
Jessica's beautiful embroidery on upcycled jeans was such a creative idea that we couldn't pass over this one! We love how she embroidered the flowers from our Beautiful Day Stamp Set for this project. Great job, Jessica!
3rd Place: Decorated Shoes
Our third place winner who will receive a $50 Altenew gift card is the talented crafter who sewed this beautiful masterpiece on a pair of shoes.
We love the idea of cutting out the flowers from our Fantasy Floral 3D Die Set to beautify these lovely sandals. What a stunning piece of work!

Finally, 10 winners will each receive a $20 Altenew gift card.
Vintage Roses Potpourri
Wow! Anita's gorgeous DIY potpourri simply blew us away. We love how she incorporated our Vintage Roses Stamp Set into this beautiful project. Well done, Anita!
“Home” Tote Bag
We were so excited for you all to use our Mixed Media Inks for your sewing projects, and we absolutely love what Lana did with them on this tote bag! She used our Mega Alphabet Dies and Leaf Medallion Stamp Set in such a creative way to write the word “home”.
Floral Bed Sheet
We love the floral design Nidhi cross stitched on this bed sheet. Isn't it amazing that she dyed her sewing thread with our Mixed Media Inks to get those vibrant colors? Good thinking!

We loved this beautiful dainty pillow using our Build-A-Flower: Lavender Layering Stamp Set!
Hand-Stitched Card
This beautiful card with hand stitched elements by Rahmat caught our eye! We are impressed by how she used our Wallpaper Elements Stamp Set to achieve this lovely leafy design.
Elegant Cloth Napkin
Finally, we absolutely adored this lovely fabric-painted design on this cloth napkin. What a lovely usage of our Arabesque Medallion Stamp Set by M. Fatema!
