200 Posts-Pattern Giveaway

I really haven't been blogging very long, but it is nice to look back and see the projects I have completed. I said in my earlier post that I wanted to share a couple of neat websites with you. First, http://www.colettepatterns.com/ has started this new weekly tip by email called Snippets. If you would like to receive these tips go here: http://www.colettepatterns.com/snippets

They have some really lovely patterns. I have the Sencha blouse pattern and it is super easy to work with and the directions are extremely clear.

Secondly, I received an email from BurdaStyle. Another great pattern website that I have downloaded patterns from. Many are free!! They have teamed up with Singer and Martha Stewart to share quick and easy craft ideas and also give away many Singer products. Check this out: http://www.burdastyle.com/blog/sewing-with-singer-and-the-martha-stewart-show-a-great-new-way-to-upcycle-your-t-shirts

You may have to become a member of BurdaStyle in order to leave comments and win, but I believe you can watch the craft videos for free.

Last but not least: A PATTERN GIVEAWAY! I am accomplishing 2 goals here. First, to give away some free patterns to nice readers like you. Second, to destash patterns that are too small/big for my kiddos and/or me. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which patterns you are interested in winning. I will draw random numbers to choose a winner. You could win more than one! If you want to follow that is totally up to you. This is a no strings attached blog. Here are the first 10. I will be posting 10 more tomorrow. 20 patterns-200 posts!

Pattern Giveaway!

My first giveaway and I thought since it is almost July 4th I would give away atleast 4 patterns. So here they are for 4 people to win. #1 is a toddler size 2 pattern (complete),#2 is a romper-bust 34-(complete) -so in right now- ,#3 is an all size vest pattern (complete), #4 is a 23"doll/clothes pattern (complete). All of the pattern envelopes are a bit tattered, but all of the pattern pieces are there. You will need to leave a comment that includes which numbers you want to win and your email address. If you have any questions about the patterns, please post them in the comments. I will choose winners on Tuesday, July 6th because of the holiday. I will post the winners and you will have until Friday, July 9th to claim your pattern and send me your address. I have many more patterns that I am going through and will eventually post as giveaways, so keep checking back or watch Sew Retro for the post. Have a great 4th!
