Hello! I know that January can feel long to some but, thanks to #sewfancypants, it flew at lightning speed for me. Jennifer, Katie, Loni, and I asked the sewing community to join us in sewing fancy pants and you certainly delivered. All in all, there are over 800 posts using the #sewfancypants tag and over 100 entries under the tag #sewfancypantsdance. Your creativity, excitement, and dancing skills inspired and entertained us all month. Truly, this month exceeded our expectations. Thank you for joining us. Without further ado, let’s announce some prize winners.

With such an amazing prize on the line, so many of you put yourselves out there and gave it your all for the #sewfancypantsdance. This decision wasn’t made lightly and there were both serious discussions and well-placed gifs in our group chat while we contemplated. Believe me when I say that if we could’ve given every participant a prize, we would have. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and adding a bit of extra joy to this wonderful sewing community. With that note, let’s announce our winner.
Congratulations to Jill of @independentclothingintiative! Her and her husband danced their way to a win in their matching handmade cargo pants.
Just want to say one last “Thank you!!!” to everyone who participated and especially to our insanely generous sponsors. It was YOU who made the Fancy Pants Sewing Party a success. We hope you’ll continue to follow along in the future.
