But on Sunday, I was super-lucky and won a give-away!
The host of the party was the talented Kathy over at The Nerdy Seamstress- blog.
She has a really fresh blog, and sews up the cutest dresses, tops and other garments. She also draft some of her own pattern, which I think is awesome ;)
I found her blog through the Fall for Cotton-challenge, and really loved it!
Like me, she has only just started her blogging adventure, but I am sure her blog will grow to be an interesting site I will continue to go back to.
If you haven't been at her "place", you should check it out ;)
This post will not be complete without me flaunting my prize! Hah!
I won this super awesome pattern from Colette:
I have heard alot about Colette patterns but never gotten around to buy one, and try it for myself.
I really liked this dress, it has a 40s vibe (which I luuuuv) and a super cute neck line, and interesting curved and gathered details. By the looks of it, I will get plenty of buttonhole-practice too....!
I have lots of green linen I got from my mom, and I think it will be great for this dress.
So this is officially on my to-do-list!
Thank you again, Kathy! You are my lucky sewing star ;)
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing your Ceylon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Béa ;)I hope you're patient with me, I am not the fastest seamstress in the world :D
DeleteHow delightfully cool - many happy congrats, dear gal! I'll never forget the first time won something. It was a jar of jelly beans that was being raffled off for a fundraiser at my elementary school. Guesses (at how many jellybeans were the jar) were $0.25 each and my teacher kindly bought one guess for each student in my class. I guess, if I remember correctly either 501 or 502, and ended up being the only person that was spot on, so I won! I felt like I was carrying a pot of gold as I walked home from school that day with my delicious prize. :)

Aww such a cute story, and nice memory to have! Isn't it funny how those little things stick by you, and lasts for life? It feels good to be lucky and get a reward, no matter big or small. It really is the feeling itself that is the prize ;) (New pattern makes it double awesome!)
DeleteCongratulations! Colette Patterns are wonderful works of art and their website has great tutorials and you can check out their blog, Coletterie, have great members that will help with any questions. I can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming over! I snooped around on you blog to see what lovely seamstress was hiding behind the nice comment, and I'll be going back!!
DeleteYou're mighty welcome! :) I was in the same boat as you were. I've never won anything either. It's okay, I wouldn't call myself unlucky though. :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, can you email me your address or a place you want me to mail it to? my email is: thenerdyseamstress [at] gmail [dot]com. I'll be looking for it. :)
Mailed you, NerdyBirdy ;)
DeleteLucky lady indeed! I have not sewn a Collette pattern yet but this one is truly lovely. Can't wait to see yours made up. Linen will be perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mrs Ooobop ;)
DeleteHow nice of you to stop by!
I've had that linen for years (loooong before I was even thinking I would sew clothes!), and now is the perfect time to let it BE something! It sprung to mind the moment I saw this pattern :)
