Our #Sewover50 November challenge: supporting small businesses. 👍

Times are tough and we can make a choice to help small businesses stay afloat and give them a fighting chance to rebound when we emerge from the global pandemic.

Together with @LintonTweeds, SewOver50 is encouraging the sewing community to purchase from and promote small businesses during November.

Have you ever had a burning desire to make a #littleFrenchjacket? You could sew this garment from one of three major prizes from Linton Tweeds @lintontweeds to promote shopping small businesses around the world. 🌎

To enter the challenge:
– all sewists are eligible if you have a public account;
– use both tags #so50shopsmallbusiness and #sewover50;
– purchase fabric/notions/haberdashery/services (on-line or in person) from a small business and tag them. If they are not on IG then name them and the location

There are three prizes of 2 metres each of couture fabric from Linton Tweeds’ website:
1 prize x UK; 🇬🇧
1 prize x Europe;
1 prize x rest of the world 🌍
IDENTIFY YOUR LOCATION (UK, Europe, rest of the world) ON YOUR POST so that we can arrange the prizes. 😁
Prizes will be randomly drawn in the three categories on December 1.

Additionally, you may like to enjoy a discount of 15% from Linton Tweeds from their exquisite couture range until November 30 by using the code SEWOVER50.

Let’s get behind this initiative and play our part to keep businesses busy during unprecedented times…and you may just be one of the lucky winners too! 👍😊

A very big thank you to Linton Tweeds for assisting with this initiative. 💐
