Got Questions?
Q: Can we use any patterns we want for this contest?
A: Yes, you can use any pattern you want, even make up your own.
Q: Is this challenge open to those not in the USA?
A: Yes, this contest is open to any child 17 and under. Please note that if you do not reside in the US and your child wins the challenge, we will issue a $25 Whimsical Fabric gift certificate in lieu of the Amazon gift card. We will also not be shipping out the book marks to non US entries. Sorry, international shipping is just too expensive.
Q: How much of the Color Me fabric must we use in our project?
A: The spirit of the contest is to feature Hayley's Color Me fabric. You are allowed to use other fabrics that you have purchased from us, but 51% or more of your child's project needs to be made from the Color Me fabric.
Q: If we already own fabric that is not carried by Whimsical Fabric, can we add those to the project if the majority of the project is made from Whimsical Fabric?
A: No, all fabrics used in the project must have been purchased from our website.
Q: Does all hardware, notions, and trim have to come from Whimsical Fabric?
A: Notions, trims, hardware, leather, etc, DO NOT have to come from Whimsical Fabric.
For example, if you are making a tote and you want to use leather for the outside fabric and Color Me for the lining fabric, that will NOT qualify since we do not stock leather. If, however, you want to make a tote and use Color Me fabric for the outside and a solid Riley Blake for the lining, adding a leather handle, then this would qualify.
Q: What if you run out of the fabric we want?
A: We have multiple bolts of each Color Me print in stock. We should not have any issues with stock.
What will your little ones create? We can't wait to see all of their creativity! If you still have questions please make sure to ask on our Whimsical Fabric & Me Facebook Group. And don't forget that you can use the coupon code SAVE20% to save 20% off your entire order right now.
Happy Creating!
