Go Green Month… Giveaway!

It’s March 1st, and that means it’s the official start of Go Green Month here at Sew Much Ado!  It will be month full of tutorials, guest posts, and reviews to help us all be a little kinder to our Earth.  I certainly don’t claim to be an expert on the subject, which is precisely why I wanted to do this month long endeavour.  Go Green Month is about making SMALL changes in whatever ways we can.  Baby steps, right?
We’ll focus all month long on reducing, reusing, and recycling while we sew, craft, and live our everyday lives.
Luckily I have some SUPER guest bloggers lined up who are going to take over Sew Much Ado and share their knowledge and ideas with us.  I promise you will not be disappointed!
What better way to start off our month of Green than a giveaway?  Two readers will each win a pair of these toddler leg warmers made using my 10 Minute Toddler Leg Warmer Tutorial.  It’s a great project to repurpose knee socks that you have laying around the house.  If you’re wondering (and I know you are), the leg warmers I’m giving away were made with new knee socks I had in my fabric stash.  They’ll be similar to the ones pictured but will each have different patterns.

Don’t have any kids?  They can be used as arm warmers for teens or adults with a short sleeved shirt!

Here are the details:

The contest is open until Saturday March 6, 2010 at midnight Eastern time, and is open to anyone in the US, Canada, or abroad! To enter just leave me a comment!  For fun, you can also tell me one thing you’d like to change to live a greener life if you’d like.  Want to earn extra entries? Here’s how:

1. Create a link to this giveaway on your blog. Make sure to let me know the address where you linked from in your comment.

2. Become a Follower of Sew Much Ado on Blogger.  If you’re already a follower, you’ll still get your extra entry, just make sure to leave me a comment saying that you are a follower.

3. Place the Go Green Month button on your sidebar (get the HTML code on the top left sidebar).

*Remember to leave me a separate comment for each entry!*

  6. I’d like to do some wardrobe repurposing/refashioning this year. I have plenty of old things I don’t wear that would make super toddler clothes or fun things for me if I’d just invest the time.

  16. Here is entry #1. I would say I would like to grow a successful garden and eat the veggies! (I tried last year, wasn’t very successful, and didn’t really end up eating them)

  17. Just tomight while making dinner I noticed again how much plastic I throw away. My dh takes care of the recycling and garbage. He said the local dump doesn’t recycle plasic packaging. I’m going to find out for myself what they do recycle exactly and hopefully stop throwing so much of it away.

  20. I need to buy fewer canned goods. Right now, I buy too many canned beans, when I should be buying dried beans in bulk — definitely healthier, too! Thank you for this sweet giveaway. I know my daughter would love them.

  21. I’m a swiffer sweeper a’holic. Love those things. But I could try out a homemade flannel swiffer cloth to see if it does the job. I’m a follower and linked at curtiscourtneykleinman.blogspot.com

  22. Cool idea and I’m loving the first tutorial. It’s motivating me to get down under the kitchen sink and organize it and find how many swiffers I have down there.
