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 bought a sewing machine a few months ago and so far the only “use” it has gotten is me tearing it out of the box in search of a fabric measuring tape to check the circumference of my daughter’s head! This would be the perfect book to get me started on more rewarding projects 🙂

I would love to win a copy! If I am lucky enough to win I’d have a hard decision on my hands…I would love to keep it, but one of my best friends who is also very crafty has just had her 3rd baby about a week ago…so now she has 3 gorgeous kids all under the age of 6…so I know she would love it too. I think I will try to be unselfish and give it to my friend…after I spend an afternoon drooling over the pages for inspiration 🙂 hehe
