When you’re knitting, crocheting, sewing or crafting, do you ever think “If I had a gadget like x, I could really save a lot of time and enjoy my projects so much more.” Or, “I wish there was a machine that could do x for me and make the process easier.” Now’s your chance to play inventor or product designer and earn up to $1,000 US!

All you have to do is click here, create a user, and you’re ready to post your idea and comment on others’ creations. Some of the ideas already posted to the site include a “measuring suit,” a “fabric pattern marker,” and a “miniquin” 1/6-scale mannequin.

My favorite “crafting machine” is my laptop! I get so many wonderful printable patterns, ideas and tutorials from you guys!! I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
My favorite crafting gadget is my sewing machine.
I still love a good pair of scissors! but my favorite is my almost 10 year old embroidery machine-by today’s standards it doesn’t do much range in embroidery but what it does is so fun to just click ‘run’ and watch it make a customized embroidery on my project! Love it!!! 🙂
I love my old school sewing machine and vinyl cutter!
I actually love my iPad for my knitting projects, it allows me to have my pdf patterns with me and I have a couple of row/stitch counting applications to help me keep track of where I am in my project. With my iPad I can also log on to Ravelry.
PS – I was just looking at one of the bias tape makers at the craft store today and thinking that I’ll have to save up to get one. Crossing my fingers I can get a free one.
