Hooray for a Giveaway!

So, you may have noticed we've reached a hundred followers in these parts. That's exciting, if you ask me. Something else you may or may not have noticed? This little blog's 6 month birthday is coming up on July 8. Oh, and one more thing? July is my birthday month!!!!


This trifecta of awesomeness clearly calls for a celebration. Therefore, I am hosting a MAJOR giveaway. Hold on to your hats, ladies. I've got FIVE awesome prizes for you try your hand at winning. That's right, 5. If you like any combination of vintage + sewing, I think I've got you covered.


#1 - Vintage Sewing Supplies

 

mystery pile of vintage sewing goodies! - there's quite a bit hidden in that stack


 

#2 - Vintage Sewing Patterns (all around bust size 43")



vintage sewing patterns in 43"+ bust sizes




 

#3 - Vintage Sewing Patterns (all around bust size 38")



vintage patterns in 36" and 38" bust sizes




 

#4 - Vintage Fabric and a Craftsy Class

 

You'll get this fantastic vintage tropical floral fabric (it's soft and drapey!) to try your hand at making Gertie's Bombshell dress through her amazing Craftsy class! The prize will be good for any Craftsy class, though, in case you've already taken Gertie's. I've been wanting to try the bombshell dress ever since the class debuted, but I can just never seem to get my ducks in a row. This way I can live vicariously through whoever gets this prize, so we both win!


 

#5 - Your very own "Sewing is Good for You" top

This shirt was designed by me at CustomInk.com. The design is printed on an American Apparel Girly Jersey T-shirt, Size L (click for size guide)


Is your mind blown by that amazing array of options???! Mine is.


Now, with so many potential prizes we've got to have a few rules for entering the giveaway:
  • To enter, leave a comment on this post no later than 11:59 PM (EST) on Saturday, July 7th.

  • There will be 5 randomly picked winners - one for each prize - to be announced on Tuesday, July 10th.
  • Anyone can enter and I'll ship to any place in the world.
  • That's it - good luck!!

  19. Happy Birthday, blogiversary, and follower goal! The patterns are a bit too large for me, but I'd love to win any of the others. Speaking of the patterns, what's the number of the middle one in #3? The blouse looks awfully similar to the Simplicity 2154 reissue. I'm obsessed with finding out the original pattern numbers for these reissues.

    1. Thanks, Elizabeth! That pattern is Simplicity 4180...it sure does look similar to 2154 (which I own and have yet to sew - but I've admired your version!). I think it's a little bit different in terms of construction, but definitely has the same look/feel.

  33. Happy Birthday and congratulations on reaching 100 followers! I'd be tickled pink to win the tshirt- my very unsubtle hints to my family seem to be falling on deaf ears. The pattern packs are sweet too.

  34. Congrats and happy birthday! What a triumphant parade of giveaways to celebrate - how lovely! :) Please consider me for all but the patterns; I have so many already & would rather see them go to someone who would use them more quickly than I can get to them lol :)

    That grab bag of vintage supplies looks particularly enticing to me though ;)

  35. Congratulations! It all looks great.

  36. Happy Birthday! Mine was last month and I fully support claiming the whole month. I don't want to discount myself from any of the 5 sets, but I will say I would love the 43" bust patterns best. That is almost exactly my size and it is so hard to find cute vintage patterns big enough! I can always grade them though, so I would take any of the other items as well :) Thanks so much for a great blog and a fun giveaway!

  37. ha-bee bird-dee!

    would love to win any of those lovely prizes, but im sadly not busty enough for the patterns!

  41. Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing the sewing love.

  42. Wow, how generous of you! What day is your actual birthday? We're sharing a birthday month (I turned 26 yesterday) and I also just topped the 100 followers (after over two years of blogging, ah well... ;). So, happy birthday and congrats on the followers! I'd like to discount myself from #4 as I already have the bombshell dress class. I love the vintage notions, they look so pretty and are extremely hard to find over here...
