#SEWMANPANTS 2019

It’s that time of year again. We are going to sew some man (boys too) stuff! I have been sewing for my husband for a couple of years now and it never ceases to amaze him, so I think I’ll keep right on letting him think I can do magic. We hope to spread the love for the fellas in our lives and that you will join us in sewing for our guys, or if you are a fella, that you will sew too!

My friend and one of the co-hosts of the challenge, Elizabeth and I did a video on the Sew Much Talent Facebook group for some #sewmanpants breakdown. I thought it would be a good idea to have an accompanying blog post with links and what not so you all can have easier access to all the information. Also, remember that any of the hosts and ambassadors will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

First and foremost, let’s get the rules out of the way.

RULES

Garment must be for a male, no undergarments

Garment must be started and finished in September 2019

Must share photo of completed garment on instagram and must tag all 4 of us; @_stitchesandseams_ / @liftingpinsandneedles / @sewnaturaldane /@elizabethmadethis

No private accounts, unfortunately we won't be able to see your submissions.

**The winners are chosen by random drawings **

Easy enough, eh? We really hope you will all join us. Keep in mind that every garment you submit is an entry, so you could potentially win more than once!

Now the most awesome part, the prizes! We have been so fortunate to have a wide variety of sponsors this year and let me tell you they held nothing back! The prizes are really fantastic. And without further ado, let’s get into them…
