giveaway- sweet & simple book

July 4, 2014

I ordered some new copies of my book, Sweet & Simple Handmade, and would like to offer one up to a reader. Would you like to win your own copy, or one for a friend? Just leave a comment on this post, or over on the facebook page, and i'll enter your name in the draw. International entries welcome : )

* * * * * * *

What's the book all about? It's a collection of 25 original projects, with instructions and a pocket at the back of the book containing all the tissue paper patterns you'll need to make them. Most patterns are for clothes, bags and toys for kids aged newborn to 10 years. But there is also the pattern for the pleated tote bag you see above.

You can also find it here on etsy, felt, or directly (e-book or print version) from my publisher.

Happy weekend! We will be celebrating a family birthday, standing on a soccer field, and staying close to the fire at all other times.

I would love a copy to give to my cousin. She loves your work and has made a few things of yours. Her mum has had a tough time for five years with cancer and is now losing the battle. It would be awesome to hand this over with some material from my stash. Hopefully she would be able to take little bites of time out to do a craft activity for herself. Thanks for the chance to win.
