**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED** thank you to everyone who entered
So wonderful readers. It’s my birthday this week & I’m going to take a week off blogging & most things social media – but not to leave you wanting- have lined up three, yes three, sewing giveaways this coming week because my birthday is on that wonderful number three. I have been blogging for three years. And well, the number three rocks with its double half curves.
The first one is open to UK residents only (which I will explain in a minute). The other two are open to the world.
So today’s giveaway is for the Spearmint Coat by Lolita patterns.
Good timing because the sewalong is just about to start over at Lolita Patterns blog. Check out the many awesome examples, not forgetting how pleased I was with mine & how well explained & machinable the techniques are for sewing a Spearmint coat.
2013: Lolita Patterns Spearmint Coat
It has become my going out coat & is associated with special treats & fun times! Now that’s great vibes for a garment.
So, why only open to the UK residents? Well the giveaway is for a proper paper pattern (in the most gorgeous packaging) & I received it in the post. But this pattern is not currently stocked by any UK stockists & buying from overseas can often hit you with a whopping import tax (this seems a little hit & miss in my experience, but it’s a bad shock when it does happen). As I paid import tax, it seems silly to send it out of the UK again!
Check out Amity’s coat...at the shorter length…
And more sensational Spearmints on a dedicated pinterest board hosted by Lolita Patterns. So to enter please leave me a comment telling me what you think you would make your Spearmint out of & what kind of outings you’d like your coat to have. This giveaway is open until the 12th February and I will pick a random winner after that.
Good luck!! And check back for the other sewing giveaways later this week.
*******PS & NB if your comment says it’s in moderation, don’t worry – I will get to it – but not till I am back online – your entry will still count!! *******
