Sewing Giveaway!!!
Welcome to my little giveaway for sewing---I'm not going to keep you long, because I know you want to get back to entering for other goodies. I love sewing crafts, quilts, and clothes. So I already have the other giveaway (linked above), but I wanted one more for all of you fashion sewing enthusiasts. A few of my favorite sewing related items for you to enjoy--or maybe to even get you started sewing in the first place. |
| Awesome, right? I |
Here's what's included in the sewing giveaway:
Threads magazine (I love the inspiration, tips and techniques this magazine and its website has)
Sew What! Skirts by Francesca DenHartog (a start into making your own pattern, so easy to follow, you'll find your creativity really gets going)
1 yard of Pro-Sheer Elegance Fusible Interfacing from Fashion Sewing Supply (this is THE interfacing place, warning: awesome interfacing is addicting)
5 yards of 3/4 inch White Pro-Stretch Elastic from Fashion Sewing Supply (you won't go back to that icky kind at JoAnns after this)
That's enough elastic for (depending on waist size) at least 6 skirts or pjs and a yard of interfacing will last you through quite a few projects--so no excuses about not sewing! I've given links for you to check out the details if you want or, if you don't get lucky and win, to get some for yourself. Pam Erny runs Fashion Sewing Supply and she is just absolutely lovely to work with, so don't hesitate to ask her a question.
I'll ship internationally and the giveaway is open until May 25th, 5 pm (maybe a bit later if I'm still eating dinner). Please, make sure that if you have left me an email to contact you with--if I can't contact you, I'll have to pick another winner, and that would just be sad.
So leave a comment telling me your current/next fashion sewing project to enter. You're welcome to become a follower (I love followers), but it is not necessary to win.
So, here's another look at what you're commenting for:
 |
| I love all this stuff--maybe I should comment on it myself! |
Update 5/25/12: This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who participated. The winner will be announced soon.

I forgot about that, but I think I will do that one first.

ReplyDeleteI need to make some summer dresses for both of my girls. Although...I'm thinking about making skirts now.

ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I discovered Threads magazine a few months ago and love it but we can't find it here in France. And I've been wondering about the skirt making book.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure what my next project will be. I'm currently hesitating between a book cover for a friend, a bag or a dress for me. I'll probably decide tomorrow.
Thank you for this giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI'd like to make some summer skirts for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I just finished making up my children's clothing for the summer & am about to pack away my sewing machine for our upcoming move. I have a lot of clothes I'd like to make for myself but I need to lose a little weight first. (Isn't that awful? But I hate to waste the fabric on things that will fit me now, but I know that once we're in our new home & I am fixer-upping and cycling everywhere again it'll all be too big!) xo
ReplyDeleteI want to make a Tova top next! (for me)
ReplyDeleteI'm making a hooded vest for my son.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make a peasant blouse for myself :)
ReplyDeleteI'm making a summery shirt for myself using my old favorite shirt as a pattern (it has a hole in it now)-it's kind of halfway between a cap sleeve and a tank top-ends up being a tank top usually because it has drawstrings at the shoulders, which sounds weird but is actually super cute.
ReplyDeleteI really should make a skirt for myself, but I always seem to be the last person on my project list!! I do have the Anna Maria Horner study hall skirt pattern AND have already purchased fabric. Just have to put it together!
ReplyDeleteI bought a pattern for a one shoulder dress with a ruffle sleeve. It's so cute!
ReplyDeletethere are a couple of new babies coming at church...i'll sew a couple outfits.
ReplyDeletesntbosch(at)msn(dot)com
the only fashion sewing I've ever done is clothes for my baby nephew, but I'd love to make myself some skirts.
ReplyDeleteI have been reluctant to make things for myself, because I always feel like I need to lose weight - as though chubby people don't need to wear clothes. But this spring I am going to try the Built by Wendy pattern I bought for myself. Probably won't be the next fashion sewing, because the clamoring kiddos always have a long list for me - as though I am superwoman. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what the difference between good and regular elastic is. I never even knew there was good elastic.
I have fabric to make skirts for my DD, and maybe a dress for her birthday too

I had that skirt book out from the library for aaaages. I'd love to put it on my shelf for good! I'm just finishing up the Route 66 skirt from Marie Madelaine. I made a muslin, which is now a house skirt, before making the 'real' denim one. So glad I did!
ReplyDeleteI just got a dress form and I'm playing with it a bit. Make kids cloths all the time, but for me it is a bit harder, I want to do a skirt next. Something simple knee length.
ReplyDeleteright now I am finishing a clutch purse and getting read to start a baby quilt.
