The two-week challenge will be filled with daily prompts to get your kiddos ready for school, starting August 20th, running to September 2nd. This will be a great way to build community, get inspired and of course, win some prizes!

Want to participate?

(And be entered to win some fun fabric and pattern prizes?)

Simply post your back to school sewing makes on social media. Then tag us (@lovenotions) and use the hashtag #sewbacktoschool. That’s it! Feel free to participate every day, once, or multiple times a day. And the prompts are just a way to get you thinking about what you could or have sewn – no need to follow them closely if you’ve got other back to school sewing you’d like to show off.

Anjori will then keep track of the entries and send out the prizes – thanks, Anjori!

Keep in mind that we will need to be able to see the entries to have it count – so tagging us is important!
