Feeling creative?
Feeling like you want to make something beyond salt dough ornaments and Christmas cookies?
Well, you came to the right place.
Apliiq. Where you customize your own clothing from start to finish–they call it fabric expression.
There’s something really gratifying about designing your own apparel there. So many fabrics to choose from. I could spend a shamefully long time on their site.
Okay, maybe I have already.
Not only did I customize a sweet top that has become one of my current faves (I like to call it Asian Spice), I started our own storefront there for The Sparrow Fund.
For every item sold from our storefront, Apliiq donates 20% to The Sparrow Fund.
How cool is that?
So, this giveaway is going to have a little bit of a different spin to it. It’s going to be a little bit of a friendly competition of sorts.
What you gotta do to enter is head right over HERE. Have some fun customizing something–whatever you like. They’ve got tons to choose from for men, women, and little snicker doodles. When you are done, click on the SHARE IT button on the bottom to show it off. And, then click on SAVE IT to add it to The Sparrow Fund’s Apliiq storefront.
Create up to 3 designs for 3 chances to win!
On January 2nd, Ethan, one of the hearts and brains behind Apliiq, and myself will choose our favorite design and that person will receive it totally free!
Isn’t that fun?
Enjoy some fabric expression as a wrapping or cookie-making break or let your kids help you design something neat during the week after Christmas. Make it a family effort to make Mama her own sweet top. Could be fun!
Joe and Alice Waarvik says
Did it! So fun! The first time I accidently saved it to Apliiq’s page oops. Is there a rule against doing more than one?
Gale says
Well, I made this…I tried to add DIFFERENT patterns to different section, but whenever I tried it put the new fabric in all the sections I had clicked on before in stead of just the one I clicked on now. Thought you might want to let Apliiq know.

Here’s my first design: http://TheSparrowFund.apliiq.com/product?id=7368
That was lots of fun! (I’d like to suggest allowing more than one fabric pattern per base. It was kind of frustrating being so restricted.)
