What a year! While still of modest size compared to many sewing blogs out there, I'm thrilled that people (hundreds, in fact!) who I am not related to and who are not friends of my mother actually read this. Not that I'm not thrilled that my friends and family read it... isn't it a little bit strange that we measure the success of a blog by the number of total strangers reading it?
Anyway, strangers, to say thank you for sticking with me, I'm doing a little giveaway!
While I have yet to make a garment from a vintage pattern, that absolutely does not keep me from admiring (and purchasing!) them. Since I have not yet found anywhere in New York that has them, I went to the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse (in Oakland, CA) while I was back in the Bay Area for Christmas. If you live in the bay, I would highly recommend a trip. In addition to a yard of a very soft eggplant rayon knit, I picked up these for me...
And these for two of you!
On the left: McCalls 7397 in a size 10 (25" waist). I really love the yoke on the skirt. I'd be interested to see the pants as shorts too!
On the right: Vogue 2840 in a size 16 (38" bust, 40" hip). So cute!
So - if you would like to win one of these patterns, please leave a comment in this post by 11:59PM EST on Tuesday, January 8th with your email address (if it is not in your blogger profile or listed on your blog) and which pattern you would like! If you're open to both, just say so and I'll enter you for both drawings. Or, if you don't specify at all then I'll enter you for both. I'll ship anywhere. Good luck!
Ohhhh, I love the variations for the Vogue and it's my size! Congratulations on your anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I hope you really did get a cake like the one in the photo - it is very much deserved :D
ReplyDeleteYou really should try a vintage pattern sewing project at some point - it is a LOT of fun
Both patterns look just lovely, would love to be included in the draw!
Looking forward to following along with your creative adventures this year xxx
Happy Blogiversary! You really ought to try a vintage pattern - I have just started making and I LOVE it. I adore the vogue pattern, please include me for this!
ReplyDeleteHurray for a year of blogging! Add me to the list for the Vogue 2840... I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading for a while but haven't commented... Anyway, happy blogiversary, and please enter me for the vogue!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love your blog and would love to win the Vogue pattern :)

Please put the Vogue pattern aside for me. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. I'm new to sewing & still very much finding my way! Really enjoy reading your blog (and others). It's really helping me :-)
ReplyDeleteShould have said... I'd be delighted with either! Suzh84(at)gmail(dot)com
DeleteHeck yes I would like to win this! How awfully kind of you to do this giveaway for us. I'm so torn with picking between the two because the McCalls pattern is my size but I am just in love with the Vogue dress. So I'm just going to let you decide which one you want to enter me into. :) ha thanks again!
ReplyDeleteOh my email is happy_haylee_3(at)hotmail(dot)com
Happy Anniversary! I would love to win the Vogue pattern. It is my exact size.

Happy blogiversary! I really love the Vogue 2840 pattern :D What an exciting year for you- here's to 2013!
ReplyDeleteI love the Vogue pattern :) Congratulations on your 1 year mark - here's to many more!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog today and I love it! Don't enter me in the pattern drawing though because I have far too many patterns as it is. I just wanted to comment that I'm a new reader and look forward to reading your past and future posts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogiversary and happy new year. I would love to be entered for either.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary! I discovered your blog a few months ago and I love seeing what you've made! I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the new year. I'd love to win either pattern, even though neither is in my size. They're both cute enough it'd be worth figuring out how to grade the size up or down.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary! You made me giggle-- I got so excited when I found out I had my first blog follower, but it turned out to be a friend of my mother-in-law's and I was quite deflated! Please leave me out of the giveaway, though-- I'm determined not to add any more patterns to the stash! :)
ReplyDeleteWow Happy New Year and Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary! I'd like a chance at the Vogue pattern please! I'd also love to see what you can do with a vintage pattern!
ReplyDeleteOoh, love that Vogue number! I've been wanting to try some Raglan sleeves.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary!
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop,
ReplyDeletejust so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it
