Overview
It's chilly out there! When weather turns cold, it's time to fight back by sewing up some new warm gear. We want to see what awesomely cozy creations you can make, so we've teamed up with SINGER to bring you the Sew Warm Contest!
The rules are simple: make a new Instructable that shows how to sew up something to fight the cold, and publish it before the contest ends. There's no limit to the function, or materials used in your project. Sewing is required, either with a sewing machine or by hand with a needle and thread.
We have some fantastic prizes to give away, including a Futura XL-550 Embroidery Machine, Singer ONE Sewing Machines, and dress forms. As an added bonus, every winner will also receive an Instructables Prize Pack that includes a t-shirt, patch, stickers, and a one-year Pro membership.
So get sewing and show us something warm and toasty! We can't wait to see what you'll make.
Multiple entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize. Contest is open to entries from US, Canada [excluding Quebec], UK, China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, India, and Denmark<. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, December 5, 2012.
The winner(s) will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable statutes, laws (including, without limitation, common law, if applicable), rules and regulations and for bearing any personal income tax, VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties, or other taxes, fees, insurance, surcharges or other costs relating to receiving, claiming or collecting any prize.
