Thread Heads were challenged this month by the Janome Sewing Machine Contest. To win, viewers had to send in one of two videos – either explaining why they need a sewing machine or their best DIY tutorial.
The response was incredible with over a hundred submissions from extremely talented and devoted DIY-ists from all over the world. Threadbanger dedicated an entire week to showing their videos and in the end gave away three sewing machines instead of just two.
The talented winners were Mateusz Krol in Poland, Georgeanna Hall in Korea, and Zachary Hutchinson and Kearsten Hall from the U.S.A. For those who didn’t win or enter, the Threadbanger sewing machines are available on the Threadbanger website under Sewing Machines.

I don’t know how I haven’t seen anything about this before, must have been walking around with my eyes shut :) Anyhow, an awesome sock designing contest, there’s over USD$20,000 prize money, with USD$6000 for the winner! Yep you heard right. There is a plethora of information over at the site and there’s also a blog. Ends 1 January 2009. Link, and blog.
