Psssst! Wanna win a Baby Lock overlocker?

The Australian Sewing Guild is once again running its Castaway to Couture sewing competition and this year's first prize is an Eclipse DX overlocker from Baby Lock Australia. All you have to do is refashion a garment (or garments) into something new, take a photo and you're in with a chance!

Last year I entered my refashion of a big dowdy grey wool pleated skirt into a fitted sheath dress (posted here):

Even though I didn't win last year (I got one of the runner up prizes) I still got a great dress out of the process that I wear quite a lot, so that's a winner in my books.

Thankfully I already have a Baby Lock overlocker because this year I'm all out of inspiration! Nothing is 'speaking' to me and I haven't found anything to refashion, so I don't think I'll enter. But the competition is running until the 31 May 2017 so it's not too late for any of you reading along to enter though. You don't have to be an ASG member to enter, but you do need to live in Australia or New Zealand.

I'm not sponsored by the ASG in any way (just a happy member) or Baby Lock Australia (just a happy owner) - I just wanted to share the sewing love around. Those Baby Lock overlockers are amazing - the jet air threading and self regulating tension reduced my sewing frustrations hugely.

Good luck to all of you who enter!
