A challenge to you all!

The Sewing Sisterhood is throwing down the gauntlet to our readers, fans and likers! We are going to run four TSS Challenges in 2012, where we set the theme and you are challenged to create something to share. The Sisters will be creating to the theme too!

The first theme is EASTER and you can make anything you like. It can be sewn or crafted, it can be baked or decorated. It can be digital craft or traditional craft. It can be a kids craft or activity! It can be anything CREATIVE you like, as long as it fits the them! Challenge yourself and try something new, or try out a new technique or material.

Sign up in the comments here or on our Facebook page. You have until Sunday 1st April to get your photos in to us to be counted as part of the Challenge. Post your photos on our Wall on FB or post them in the comments here, or email them to thesewingsisterhood@live.com.au and we will publish the best submissions here just before Easter.

Happy crafting!
