SMS Tutorial Contest Winners!
The judges echoed comments on each entry post this month; everyone was impressed with the creativity and clarity in the tutorials, and the beautiful photography and sewing expertise. We all found lots of new-to-us blogs to love and have filled our sewing to-do lists with great new projects! There was a bit of a tie so we added an extra prize, and also included an honorable mention. Please help us congratulate the winners:

- Reversible Napkin Set with Matching Pouch Part 1 & Part 2, created by Helen from Angharad
- Gathering Apron, created by Sarah from the cottage at frog creek
- Everything Bag, created by Erin from Bluebirdbaby
- Squar(ish) Bottomed Hobo Lunchbag, created by Emily from sewing notions
- Rainbow Quilt, created by Tess from Driftwood
- And… Christy from Christy’s Creations shared seven tutorials in the SMS Tutorial Contest so we decided she needed an Honorable Mention (and a yard of her choice from the shop)!
We had almost 100 new tutorial submissions! Enjoy them all, and thank you for your hard work:

OK, I might need to quit my job just so I can have any hope of tackling all the great new projects on my to-do list! Such talent out there, thanks for putting this all together!!!
This has been so much fun–I’ve bookmarked quite a few of these tutorials for future projects. It’s not easy to create someting new and showing someone else how to do it is a real gift. Thanks to all!
Congratulations to the winners!
What a great service this is for we novices. All this great information in one place. It is just awesome. At age 72 I am just getting into sewing and all I feel comfortable with are small projects. I believe that this eventually will lead to larger products once I get my confidence level up. I have a fear of failing and this keeps me from doing things I know I can probably do.
This is so fantastic! I love all the ideas. I’m already thinking of making Christmas presents thanks to this tutorial contest.
Congrats to the winners! I can’t wait to try some of these.
great contest, thanks again SMS!
this has been great!
Congratulations to the winners! I enjoyed this month very much and have plans for seval of the tutorials!
So far only one has been tried – but succesfully – the best bib, I completely agree!
