Summer Sewing Contest!

June 01, 2025 3 Comments on Summer Sewing Contest!

Summer Sewing Contest!

A few weeks ago, we were thinking of ways to get inspired for summer sewing and were reflecting on how many great garments our customers make with our patterns.  And we thought it would be fun to have a Folkwear summer contest to show off customer makes and help everyone be inspired for summer sewing.  

So, we want to hear from you!  What great summer outfit or garment have you made with a Folkwear pattern?  Have you made a cute sundress?  An amazing vest?  A historic outfit for a summer ball or reenactment?  Let us know!

You can tag us on social media with your make:  @folkwearpatterns on Facebook and @folkwearsewing.patterns on Instagram.  You can also add the hashtag #FolkwearSummer to make sure we see it (and to get all the entries into one hashtag).  

OR, send us an email with a great photo of your garment/outfit (mail@folkwear.com). And we will post it or add it to a blog post with all the inspiration!

Your entry can be a garment or outfit you made in the last week (or sometime this month), or it can be something you made years ago!  Folkwear has been around a long time and we know there are lots of incredible summer outfits out there.  So, whether it is a brand new make, or something you were proud of making 10 years ago, it can be entered in this contest!

And everyone is a winner!  If you enter the contest by tagging your photo on social media or sending us an email with a photo, you will win a coupon code to use in our shop.  Everyone who enters will win the coupon code!

Join the contest through the month of June 2025.  We will close entries on June 30.  And, we will pick two winners on July 1 who will get their choice of 2 free Folkwear patterns!  U.S. winners can get paper or PDF versions, and international winners can get any 2 PDF patterns.  We might have some fabric to throw in also!

More questions?  Send us an email at mail@folkwear.com

I didn’t know about this contest until it was too late to enter. I hope you do something like this again. I have a couple things I would love to enter. And send me a notice that you are having the contest in time for me to be part of it.

I have the pattern 134 Suth Asian. I have made 5 garments off this pattern and would like to send all the different uses. I have been using Folkwear since the mid 70s. Love the feel of the garments.

I am excited and plan to participate in this. I’ve got a pattern for the Muumuu and am thinking of do that.
