Sew Whatever   Expert/Couture UNITED KINGDOM Member since 5/24/10 Posts: 410	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/17/12 7:48 AM I am willing to help. I might need to start with a short one just to get the feel for it first. Can I ask? Does the contest manager generally need to be available round the clock on the last day or so in order to sort out panicked entrants? There are a few of the contest deadlines that coincide with deadlines for my own work. ------ Sandy in the UK A practitioner of the Chop, Chop, Sew, Sew method of sewing (otherwise known as Make It Up in Your Head!)

No preference for a specific contest, but not one that lasts for 2 months as I have never done this before. ------ http://sigridsewingprojects.blogspot.com/

ConnieBJ   Advanced ON CANADA Member since 12/31/03 Posts: 1866 Contest Committee	Login to reply to this post In reply to Sew Whatever << Like this post Date: 12/17/12 3:59 PM As far as needing to be close by at contest deadline times...If need be the contest committee can step in if the manager is not available. Helping the contest run smoothly during the contest run time is the most important part. ------ Connie Bontje http://www.couturesmith.com Twitter: Couturesmith Facebook: Connie Bontje Desperately trying to keep ahead of my pattern, fabric and dressform collection!

I just know I couldn't cope too well if I needed to stay up to 5 am GMT to deal with last minute problems happening just before 12:00 midnight EST. ------ Sandy in the UK A practitioner of the Chop, Chop, Sew, Sew method of sewing (otherwise known as Make It Up in Your Head!)
Aroura Intermediate OR USA Member since 7/30/09 Posts: 1337	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 12/19/12 3:18 AM Connie, I can do the Handbag contest in January. I've not been sewing lately, and I think managing a contest is just the thing That would get me going again. I've sewn only one handbag (though a number of small zipper pouches). I have a duffle pattern from StudioCherie that (though might not technically qualify for the contest), I'd love to sew along with that contest as well as manage it. I'm really excited about this contest list! I have really sewn very little the last 6 months, and there is lots of stuff coming up to help inspire me to get going again. Please let me know. :) Aroura ------ Sewing is more than my hobby, it is my art. My new Blog: http://itssewcreative.blogspot.com/
