Overview

If autumn is sweater weather, then winter is sweater, scarf, coat, and beanie weather! A sweater alone can really only do so much to warm your up in winter. There are lots of other wearables you can make to keep you warm all season. So don’t spend this winter cozying up to the space heater, head thee to the fabric store and make something for the Winter Wearables Contest! Your hard work could be rewarded with a Juki TL-2010Q, Gingher 8” Dressmaker Shears, Janome 8002D, and more!

We’re looking for all the knitting, sewing, and crocheting projects your crafty hands can make. And we’re offering a special judges' prize for the best wearable tech project! This is your chance to make those bunny slippers you’ve been dreaming about, the reversible sweatpants/yoga pants, and upcycle all the vintage sweaters you can find into a poncho! Your project should be original, and your instructions should be easy to understand. If you get started now, you can don your winter apparel all season long. And remember, making is a wonderful way to keep warm!
