A commenter jokingly suggested that I have a giveaway for the Threads special issue I wrote about yesterday, which features sewing insights into the work of couturiers like Fath, YSL, and Chanel. Hey, I can do that! I'll do even a bit better: I'm giving away THREE copies of the "Designer Techniques" issue to commemorate my 3,000+ followers (which I promised a giveaway for some time ago and never made good on. For shame!).
Just leave a comment here by Saturday, June 4th, at midnight EST to be entered. All countries eligible. One small change to past giveaways: if your profile doesn't have a way to contact you, you must leave your e-mail address in your comment. I know this is a bit annoying, but I've had trouble reaching winners in the past.
Good luck, my pretties!
Would love to enter!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!

ReplyDeleteI only discovered this issue myself a few weeks ago, but haven't bought it yet...I guess ordering a magazine from half across the world has sounded a bit luxurious (I'm from Norway). So this giveaway is perfect:) But my mind is made up: If I'm not lucky enough to win, I will now definitely buy it. The article you mentioned sounded too tempting:)
