Sew Grateful Giveaway



 

It's Sew Grateful Week over at Debi's place, and although I'm a bit late to the party, I didn't want to miss the chance to participate.  

Since I found MY perfect sundress pattern last week, I've decided to give away these two patterns from my stash.  They are so similar that I know I'll never use them, but don't want them to go to waste.  Please take them!  Please use them!  Please tell me when you've used them so I can see how they look all made up (because I have absolutely no idea how that See & Sew can fit without a back closure). 

It's So Easy 2421 and See & Sew 5296


Sorry for the craptastic photos, but I'm doing this at night with my pocket camera.  Sigh.
 I'll ship anywhere in the world, because really, how much does it cost to ship patterns?  I also don't really care how you get to my blog (reader, follow, bookmark, blogroll, etc.); what's important is that you're here :)  If you decide the pattern isn't for you, and you want to pass this along to someone else, by all means, please do.  It's not like these are priceless antiques!

What am I grateful for?  I was so surprised when I got my first comment on this blog from juebejue (@Petite Republic) because frankly, I didn't know anyone was reading it!  I was doubly surprised when Angela (@Riange Creations) just up and sent me the long-coveted Simplicity 2591 when it was nowhere to be found in Montreal!  I had to smile at being dubbed IAAT, a Leibster and a Versatile Blogger.  I was so happy to be included in the cooler-than-cool NYC meetup last September; I felt like I was hanging with celebrities ;)  And last but not least, I have to say a big thanks to everyone who reads, comments and gives advice here on this little blog.  When you don't have crafty people in your daily life, it's nice to be able to virtually visit every evening over a cup of tea.  Or sometimes something a bit stronger.   

Edit:  OK, so apparently I'm not the most organized poster, because I forgot to mention that I'll close this giveaway on midnight, Feb. 14th.  Please let me know which one you'd like (or both).  OK, now it's a bit more clear!

    The sewing blogger community is pretty cool, isn't it? :) I'm not entering the giveaway, since I know this wouldn't be a flattering shape for my short-waisted frame. Just wanted to say 'hi'. :)

      I'm constantly surprised how considerate everyone in this online community can be. I was close to losing my faith in humanity after reading anonymous comments that people leave below news stories and photos online...I started to lament that everyone was an illiterate, ignorant creep. Well, all of you have restored my optimism! :)

      Nope, in fact, you're the first one to bite! I forgot to post that I'll close the giveaway on Valentine's night, so there is still lots of time.

      It was the least I could do, when I saw what everyone was doing to participate in Debi's plan.

    I kinda love when people stop by and comment too... while a blog is really just an online diary, there's kinda this hope that someone will read it and as such, you (or at least I) tend to write as though I'm writing for an audience. It's nice when there actually IS one... I feel less crazy!

      Hi Tina from SW! I started to keep this blog so I could track my progress and keep a blogroll, but it's become a lot more.

    First I love your writing style. I am sew grateful to the sewing community especially for the people who take the time to write tutorials. We have the perfect weather right now and I would love both patterns.
    Thanks for the giveaway.

      When someone puts a camera in my face, I usually pull this weird kinda frowny-smile thing that reminds me of my father, so consider that hilarious coffee pose an improvement for me!
      (Don't worry about the toast; I already spiked my morning drink, but it was purely by accident: we usually water down our juice chez anothersewingscientist, so this morning I saw a glass of water at my place, poured some juice and took a big swig. gulp. aack. phlbt. That was gin, wasn't it? left over from last night. Great way to start the day.)
