In celebration of my
one-year blogging anniversary, I'm thrilled to announce a lovely giveaway. Two readers will each win a $25 Colette Patterns gift certificate! I knew this was the perfect prize for this occasion -
Colette Patterns are vintage inspired and drafted in a wide range of modern sizes. Plus, the styles are gorgeous. What's not to love? (I'm personally hankering for the new
"Cinnamon" slip and camisole pattern, shown above.)
To enter, just leave a comment on this post by midnight EST on Friday, the 25th. Readers from all locations are eligible. I will choose two winners by random number generator on Saturday.
Thanks to Sarai of Colette Patterns for sponsoring part of this prize!

ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to believe you've only been blogging for a year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! It was through your blog I realized that it's possible to wear vintage-inspired clothing without looking like I'm wearing a costume. My wardrobe & I thank you. BTW, I'm in the midst of sewing the Ceylon dress from Colette Patterns and can I just say the pattern instructions are wonderful! Very well done.
