Jewel Capsule for Signature Style by janellekdavis on Instagram

1 random winner:

Vannah Rae sewed this AMAZING look for the Cut It Up theme. 

1 "people's choice" winner chosen by popular vote

Here's the good and bad news...this prize was supposed to be determined by popular vote via hashtags on social media.  But due to elections in the USA (or something???) hashtags have been blocked.  So we THINK that the winner was one person, but due to us not being able to see all the #prp24sewalong entries, and having limited hours in the day, we're going to award two prizes here:

You really have to go look at Vanisha's Instagram post to see ALL the things she sewed with this fabric.  

Whitney sewed along the entire Season, and all her entries were fantastic!  This fantastic look was a huge hit on Facebook. 

That's a wrap for Season 24!!!  

We'll see you next week for some REALLY EXCITING news!
