Apologies and Give-away Winners

First off, apologies for the delay in announcing the give-away winners. I was am sick. I'm coughing up both lungs and I'll also apologize that these items may take some days to make it to the post office. But isn't about me, it is time to announce the give-away winners.  

The Vogue 1219 is RhondaBuss

Rhonda blogs over at Rhonda's Creative Life. If you haven't checked out her blog please do, you won't believe the amount of creativity, talent and inspiration this lady offers.  

And for the book.

  

 I'm going to need the assistance of True Random Number Generator.  

The winner of the Pattern Magic 2 book is Annette. 

I've had this on my wish list for so long. I don't think my family understands that I really do want this.

Annette blogs over at Mrs. Toad Sews. It is a new-to-me sewing blog that I'll have to check out. I do see that she seems to be another Vogue pattern sewer and what?! There are new summer Vogues out. I'll have to check that out too when I'll feeling better.

I hope you ladies will have a wee more patience while on the mend and I promise I will get it out as soon as I'm back on my feet.

Happy Sewing!

Blogaversary Give-away #2

This is part two of the blogaversary give-away, Pattern Magic 2 (English Translation).  

I will ship internationally. I just ask that you do not sell it, give it a good home, cherish it, use it, share it and make fabulous garments with it.

I'll draw for both give-aways on Saturday, right after my morning coffee.

Happy Sewing!

Summer Frock Pattern Give-away Winner(s)

Good-morning! Well, I think I have some good news...

The winner of the Summer Frock Pattern Give-away according to Random Number Generator is Renee G.

Congratulations!

But wait! Since there were only two peeps who entered the pattern give-away I have another copy of this summer dress pattern that I'll be sending out to Twisted Poppy.

Congratulations!

I think that you'll love that the pattern only has seven pattern piece (two skirt variations) and I remember it coming together quite quickly.

Enjoy!

Give-away Winner

Good morning afternoon!

Well, it is the final day of Sew Grateful Week. I have to say, it has been fun. Instead of sewing, I spent most of my free time recovering from some stomach ailment and discovering new sewing blogs. The discovering new sewing blogs was the highlight of my week.

Before I go on any further, I would like to thank Debi over at My Happy Sewing Place for hosting this event and the opportunity to post and share our stories and projects.

Now, without an further delay let's get to that Sew Grateful Give-away! And the winner is...

#16

Happy Sewing!
