They toil long into the night on artistic creations that may be gone in the gulp of a wedding reception or wrinkle of paper. The Craftys Awards, coming in spring 2014, is a brand new, exciting way to celebrate work in sewing, scrapbooking, knitting and many more creative disciplines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">Launched by CraftFoxes.com, The Craftys will give away thousands in cash and prizes to designers in 10 categories. This is a fantastic opportunity for talented indie designers to gain recognition from a huge online audience that may not know their work. Voters will be asked to choose their favorite entries in each category.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"widget widget_sp_image\"><\/aside>\n<aside id=\"widget_sp_image-3\" class=\"widget widget_sp_image\"><\/aside>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">With the launch of The Craftys.com, designers and their fans are being asked to help pick the final categories, such as needlework, home d\u00e9cor, and paper crafts as well as best craft blogger, and best DIY Pinterest board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">The first round is voting, and those with the highest votes go through to the final round for judging by a panel of experts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">Of course most of the categories are crafting, and I really don't feel any of my sewing projects are of &#8216;award winning' standard, but there is a category in which I think WE do pretty well. \u00a0The best DIY Pinterest Board.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/soseweasy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9928 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest.jpg\" alt=\"pinterest\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest.jpg 600w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest-500x379.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest-150x114.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/455;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9928\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest.jpg\" alt=\"pinterest\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest.jpg 600w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest-500x379.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/pinterest-150x114.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">The reason I say WE do well, is that this is a <a title=\"A Gazillion Free sewing patterns\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/a-gazillion-free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest <em>Group<\/em> Board<\/a>, which means that we <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">all<\/span> contribute our favorite content to it. \u00a0It's that mix of styles, tastes and extensive internet crawling for discovering all the best patterns, that makes this board the place to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">Have you been over to Pinterest and looked through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/soseweasy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Free Sewing Patterns board <\/a>recently? \u00a0At the time of writing, there were 1700 free sewing patterns collated there. \u00a0Yes, 1700 &#8211; if you sewed one of those a week, that's enough for nearly 33 years of weekly sewing. \u00a0Pretty impressive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\">There is also a chance to win some great prizes just for dropping over and voting in the Crafty Awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"widget widget_sp_image\"><b>Prizes<\/b>: One Prizewinner will receive $500 in Gift certificates to Dick Blick Art Materials.
