oh! oh! the pattern shows all my favourite things too! the glasses, the necklace, the camera! the cat! the lamp! the swimsuit that i will one day make for myself!
i would love to win it, thank you so much for the opportunity!

Congratulations Amy—I've got your email so will send the pattern off to you straight away!

I wish I could give everyone a copy but since that's not in the cards, I can at least give you this coupon code to use in my etsy shop in case you want to get one of my patterns for yourself at a discounted rate (I will have a shiny new one to debut next week so stay tuned)! Just enter in "THANKYOU" as you check out for 10% OFF (edit: coupon code expires June 30th and is good towards your entire purchase, one use per customer).

Thank you to each and every one of you who entered the giveaway and left such kind comments! Having you stop by, take part, and perhaps decide to keep following means a lot and I'm so happy to have you join me here!

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day is Here!

Can you feel it? All across Crafty Blogland folks are waking up to a Christmas in late May—the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day! Be sure to check out their blog for a list of complete participants and giveaways as it's a great way to get in on some giveaway action and discover new blogs and the crafty folks behind them all at once. If you're new to my corner of Crafty blogland—welcome, it's a pleasure to have you here!

This is my first time participating as a giveaway-er (err...yes, I think that's the technical term) and I'm going to be giving away a PDF version of my Vintage Shop Embroidery Pattern, as pictured above (details about it here in my shop) Since this pattern is in PDF format, it will be emailed to the winner and is therefore open to everyone, international readers included!

In keeping with the spirit of the SMS giveaway, there are no fancy complicated rules to enter: all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.

You don't have to be a follower or anything (of course, if you do want to keep reading my blog and follow along, that's totally allowed and I must admit I'd be flattered). Just one entry person and please be sure to leave your email address in your comment or link to your blog so that I can get ahold of you if you win. The only other bit I should mention is that if I don't hear back from the winner within three days, I will pass the prize on to the runner up. Kapeesh? OK fabulous, I knew you'd understand. That's it, that's all! The giveaway will remain open until Wednesday, May 25th (6:00pm EST) so have at it and have fun! GIVEAWAY CLOSED

P.S. Speaking of Sew, Mama, Sew—I made my first shirt/top/blouse/thing that I will not be embarrassed to wear in public (the terms of my New Year's goal) over the weekend using the Made by Rae pattern at SMS and will be sharing the results here after the giveaway. You'll tell me if you think it looks anything like a success or not so much, ya?
