Thanks and giving

Thanks for your nice comments on my double-knit peter pan collar blouse. It has definitely become a new favorite in my wardrobe. 

I hope all of my American friends here had a happy Thanksgiving holiday! I certainly did a lot of eating, drinking, and relaxing and was definitely thankful for the time off to reboot and gather my thoughts. I also did a bit of organizing and collecting some unused things around the house to donate... which means I get to pass some of the giving-away on to you all, too!

Up for grabs after being uncovered from the depths of my sewing area are my copy of Simon Henry's The Little Black Dress: How to Make the Perfect one for You, as well as an uncut New Look/Project Runway dress pattern.

Got a holiday party to sew a dress for? This giveaway could be right up your alley. The book has a bunch of fun and inspirational pictures and helps you set up your own pattern block, rather than including printed patterns. The New Look 6048 dress pattern has a super cute halter bodice option with a pleated skirt that has pockets. Unfortunately, I have too many dress patterns hanging out in my stash to justify keeping this one around, but I can't wait to see who wins it and sews it up!
