It's here again, Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day.
So much fun and such a good opportunity to find interesting blogs.
If you haven't joined in before,
Sew Mama Sew host this regular event,
where lists of giveaways are published on their blog.
You can visit the blogs and enter the giveaways.
In the past I've found heaps of new and interesting blogs this way.
I'm giving away this fun book, Retro Crafts which I'm sure you will love
and is a nice addition to the inspiration shelf,
and also....
A pack of vintage/retro goodies!
This is where the exciting news comes in...
My friend Kate and I are working on opening our very own Etsy Shop
in the new year, probably the end of January.
We are going to sell vintage sheet packs, retro fabric packs,
also my own patterns (designed for the less experienced sewer)
and kits containing most of the things you need to make that pattern.
This pack we are giving away here, contains 50 5" vintage sheet squares,
two fat quarter sized sheets, buttons, braid and thread.
There are so many things you could do with this pack,
bags, cushions, quilts... really so much!
Can you resist a bunch of retro buttons?? no I didn't think so!
We are very excited about this new venture,
if you follow this blog, you will see the Grand Opening Announcement
which will include more giveaways of course!!
Are you excited?? I hope so!!
Anyway watch this space.
To win this pack and the lovely book
please leave a comment telling me something you wish there was a simple pattern for!
Thanks so much for visiting,
and do come again.
I can't think of any pattern I desperately need. I always find too many and my housework suffers. Thanks for the giveaway! Looks like a neat book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a wonderful Give Away. The only simple pattern I need right now is one for life. It just seems to get more complicated as I go along.
ReplyDeleteohhhhh I can't wait! Iwsh there was a simple pattern for a knitted hat. I have tried so many times and quit! haha, I think I really just need more paitence. ;)
ReplyDeletePlease let us know as soon as your store opens!! I would love to buy some of the fabric packs.
ReplyDeleteOooh, lovely fabrics, please include me in giveaway! Maybe a really cute teddy pattern, will be my next project for new bub :)
ReplyDeleteA simple pattern? Can not think of one at the moment
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING EARLY!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to participate last year but forgot! I forgot this year too until I read this! You rock Deb.
I have plans for an Etsy shop in the New Year too, exciting stuff.
Now, easy pattern eh...? A tiered patchwork skirt. Make that easy (for me!!) & I'll love you (even more) long time. ;)
I am always looking for a simple pattern for roman shades. I think I just want them to be easier to make than they are.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog - thanks for the nice giveaway.
I'm with Jackie , a simple pattern for life would be good . Can't wait for your new shop it sounds great !
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything I need a simple pattern for that I don't already have. Maybe a simple sunhat pattern that boys won't turn their noses up at.
ReplyDeleteA simple pattern .... hmmm .... with the wealth of the internet I'm not having any trouble finding things to make so I'm going to take it to a higher level (like many of the others already have) and say it's got to be something along the lines of balancing life, work, kids and home.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Deb. That is exciting news indeed!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a simple pattern for handling a six-year-old tantrum ;)

Deb this looks awesome! I think simple patterns with quirky/changeable elements appeal to me - eg a simple bag but with a couple of applique ideas, things like wheat bags, pencil cases, kiddie aprons.... things that can be made simply but with individual elements for thoughtful inexpensive gifts....that's my take!!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb - yours is the first blog I started reading! I'm home a lot due to illness and you opened a whole world to me - I even started a blog of my own. I'm loving your vintagey look. I'd like to see a pattern for wooly baby pants from felted sweaters. Good luck in your new endeavour!
ReplyDeleteBarb
Ooh I like the idea of the shop/packs; best of luck with that. I'd like a pattern to make simple obi belts and other fabric belts that tie with an (op-shopped!) buckle. That are easy to make!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of loveliness!! I would love to win.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I wish there was a simple pattern for a jacket. They always seem so complicated!

I would love to get my hands on that book, thanks for the opportunity Deb.
ReplyDeleteI am not a sewer although I have a sewing machine it doesn't get much use. Whenever I try to sew I get a headache. Even the patterns marked basic/easy/beginner give me a headache so if you can come up with a pattern that doesn't I'd be your new best friend! Ha-ha!
lovely giveaway Deb and how exciting to open your own shop- I'm sure it will do well with your great vintage style. I'd love a pattern for a simple adult tunic style dress maybe with some cute pockets
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your new venture - sounds great! xx
ReplyDeleteSo excited about your new venture Deb! I am really really tempted to try sewing some clothes for myself and Rascal clothes patterns scare me! A simple girls pinafore would probably be a good starting place.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some exciting developments!! Looking forward to your opening. I'd love to get hold of a simple quilt pattern, it's something on my to-try list that sometimes just looks so complicated!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you Deb!! Cant wait to see your etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteIm with Megan, a simple adult sized tunic pattern... would be great!!
I Wish there was a simple way to make a double wedding ring quilt
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I'd love a simple pattern for reusable cloth diaper covers
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a simple pattern for LIFE.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!
a simple double wedding quilt would be nice
ReplyDeleteSimple pattern? Can't help you here. I don't go in for simple patterns because they often look, well, simple. If you could make a pattern that looks like the real thing, like a double wedding ring, but was easier to cut and put together, I'd be the first one in line.
ReplyDeleteLove that book, and the fabrics are gorgeous. Thanks for the chance!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd like a simple way to make a small pattern bigger...or vice versa!
I too struggle to follow regular patterns. I often makes things up as I go or unpick an old item and work out from that how and item is made and use it as a rough pattern. So if your patterns are going to be suitable for someone like me, I'll be very interested in all sorts of them.
ReplyDeleteLots of simple suggestions being posted..I am all for a simple tunic and double wedding ring! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm copying at least one commenter in that I want a simple pattern for a tunic (one that can be made in a Large size). And I totally heaved a big dreamy sigh when I saw that pile of buttons. I love vintage buttons.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a cute patchwork apron?
ReplyDeleteOh that IS exciting news! Thanks for posting in SMS's blog, I'm glad to have found you! I'd love to make a vintage-y toy(s) with this fabric - maybe button-jointed? I like to make my own patterns, too, but they always end up way too complicated. Anyway, I think the things I could use in patterns are dresses/shirts with super simple sleeves. That's the part I always struggle with. For other patterns, what about baby toys? Especially ones that rattle or crinkle, as there are not too many patterns for those. I was thinking of making them (taggie toys that crinkle and have lots of texture), but again, mine end up complicated. Thanks for listening! :) C
ReplyDeletecadamsCREATIONS.blogspot.com
How exciting! I'll keep my eye open.
ReplyDeleteI really wish there was a simple winter jacket pattern.
I love vintage stuff! I'm always upcycling from the local thrift store (so much fun!)
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a simple pattern for a 1 year old snow suit (not too bulky, but warm).

I wish I had a simple pattern for pants that would fit me properly. It's impossible to get a good fit.

ReplyDeleteA simple pattern for a child's bathing suit would make me happy :)

I need a simple pattern for a cicrle skirt! Love the giveaway book, looks like it would have lots of nifty things!!
ReplyDeleteWho can resist vintage buttons?!
ReplyDeleteI would like a simple pattern for pants. I find it so hard to buy ones that fit (I'm very tall and thin) but I'm a bit intimidated by sewing clothes so I haven't tried yet. I think I might have to take a class in the new year.
Lovely giveaway! Your new shop sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAs for a simple pattern....hmmmmm....I love to sew for my kids, so maybe something for them...clothing or toy related with a vintage twist!
How to make stuffed toys poseable without wire. I'm sure there's a way...
ReplyDeleteA simple dress pattern would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh! I recognize patches from the first quilt my mother made me.! The book looks fun too.

easy wide-legged overalls for kids AND women too!
ReplyDeleteAnything quick & easy for gifts! Love the book
ReplyDeleteI'd like a pattern for a paper pieced Christmas tree pillow. I'm sure there are patterns out there, I just haven't seen one yet.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a simple pattern I need. Maybe a good fitting shirt. Or a simple pattern for a good bra.
ReplyDeleteI wish there were simple patterns for wonky/improv blocks. I know that makes no sense at all, since they are supposed to be scrappy and creative and spontaneous. I get all OCD while quilting and need measurements, patterns and tutorials. I am crafty, but not creative, and the thought of doing wonky blocks almost gives me hives!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great giveaway. I love vintage things, and would make some amazing pillows and a cute table runner out of this prize pack.
I was there was a simple pattern for a car seat organizer. You know one of those you make to put kids stuff in that hangs off your seat.
ReplyDeleteA simple pattern for clothing...or maybe I just don't get it! Quilts are so much easier for me then clothes!
ReplyDeleteButtons and trim!!!! Can anyone who sews turn down a chance to win either?
ReplyDeleteI need a simple pattern for a square bottomed bag maybe with some sort of bottom reinforcement.
Flowy skirt pattern for people with big butts. Honestly, this is what I need.
ReplyDeleteA pattern that would enable me to be in several places once?? not very likely!
ReplyDeleteBags with a top fastening which isn't a zip or magnetic clasp!
thanks!
I wish there was a simple pattern for a pair of pants. Those things are hell to make! Especially the crotch!!!!!!!!! my worst enemy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and good luck on your new venture! Sounds like a blast and I can't wait to see the shop. I have been looking for a simple pattern for a girls dress that my 7 year old daughter could follow. She loves sewing, but reading a pattern is confusing for her.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there are any simple patterns out there that I'm missing - maybe one for a pair of slippers?
ReplyDeleteI wish there were simple pattern for a fabric shoes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win ^^v
Wish there was a simple pattern for an easy diaper bag!

ReplyDeleteMaking an easy peasy diaper bag!

ReplyDeleteCan I say everything? Seriously. I have the hardest time with patterns.
ReplyDeleteInstead of thinking of what I'd like a pattern for, I can say that I wish patterns had more pictures. I need them to understand what I'm supposed to be doing. :)
Good luck with your shop - - it sounds like you will be successful!

ReplyDeleteHi Debbie looks like a lovely book. Did you see my SMS giveaway? Hugs Baukje
ReplyDeleteI'm quite new to sewing so most of the 'starter' tyoe projects have loads of tutorials - so not sure if I can suggest something new. I do find tutorials that assume things quite irritating though. Loads of pictures and basics like seam allowance etc. is always a must.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a great giveaway and a chance to win. that book looks amazing - and all the pretty tys - swoon.
Good luck with your store next year :)

ReplyDeleteI have been searching high and low for a simple pattern for footed PJ pants for my toddler! All I can find are vintage patterns which is fine, but why, oh why, isn't there a simple pattern out there for footies right now??
ReplyDeleteI want a simple pattern for basic underwear. No wait, I want to just buy plain black panties at the store and not have other colors mixed in - so I'm ending up wanting to make my own basic underwear. So I suppose a pattern would be nice.

Hmm . . . I am drawing a complete blank. I have been on a hiatus from making a lot of stuff lately and feel completely out of it. I'm super excited that you're opening up on Etsy though! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI wished and wished and just yesterday I found a simple (looking - I haven't tried it yet, but soon) tutorial for a drawstring bag. I have struggled with that one for eons. I really want to wip up some Christmas wrapping bags, but each one seems more of a headache than the last! Here's where I pinned it:
ReplyDeletehttp://pinterest.com/pin/200621358370181230/
And, I have to tell you, Deb: it has been so long since I have been to your actual *page* that I didn't even realize it was you at first. And I'm all in my head "Hey! I think I have that pattern on a square Deb sent me!" Funny, screwy me.
I probably should be banned from winning, but I can't help but try :) After all, I'm still collecting squares for what might be a fully NZ-vintage-sheet quilt! Well that's not quite true. I have a couple sheets that I bought. Somehow the little collection of squares always looks best, though! I can't wait to see your shop. Will you have buttons, too?
Oops - sorry to be so verbose. I mean long-winded. I mean - can I just stop already?!
I wish there was a simple pattern for a kids indoor tent.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a simple pattern for a cardigan that I could in fact not screw up = )

I can't think of anything I need a simple pattern for. The internet has everything I could possibly want!
