In celebration of my
one-year blogging anniversary, I'm thrilled to announce a lovely giveaway. Two readers will each win a $25 Colette Patterns gift certificate! I knew this was the perfect prize for this occasion -
Colette Patterns are vintage inspired and drafted in a wide range of modern sizes. Plus, the styles are gorgeous. What's not to love? (I'm personally hankering for the new
"Cinnamon" slip and camisole pattern, shown above.)
To enter, just leave a comment on this post by midnight EST on Friday, the 25th. Readers from all locations are eligible. I will choose two winners by random number generator on Saturday.
Thanks to Sarai of Colette Patterns for sponsoring part of this prize!
Happy Anniversary!!!! That is so nice of you to do a giveaway. I have been wanting to try a Collette pattern.
ReplyDeleteYay! I would love to win a Colette sewing pattern. My only problem would be trying to decide which ones to start with first.
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to try a Collette pattern and I haven't mustered up the guts yet! What a great giveaway! Congrats on making it a year sister!
ReplyDeleteWow, Gertie! What a fun prize! Recently made a version of Sencha, which was awesome and I've been drooling over the new lingerie patterns...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE your blog and have very much enjoyed following your sewing adventures. Congratulations and thanks for all of the inspiration!
Me me me! *jumps up and down* I would love Chantilly and Cinamon.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary from another dedicated follower :)
Happy blogiversary! I have never used a Collette pattern, but I would love to! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary! Yay!
ReplyDeleteSome of the Collette patterns would be a perfect addition to a summery wardrobe :)
I've so much enjoyed reading your blog! I started skimming sewing blogs in about May of last year, I think, and I'm not really sure how long I've been reading yours--several months at least. I like your mix of vintage, sewing and feminism topics, and have really appreciated the tutorials. I hope you'll stay inspired and keep sharing. Happy Blogiversary! And--of course--I'd love to have the Collete Patterns gift certificate; after all, you were one of my main inspirations to buy and try the Sencha blouse pattern, which I love.
ReplyDeleteThank you! happy anniversary
ReplyDeletehere here!,
ReplyDeletecongrats on your anniversary...i've been following your blog for a while now...totally enjoy all your fashions...and, heres to another great year
Happy Blogaversary. I can't believe you've only been doing this for a year!
ReplyDeleteI've got a stack of Collette patterns to sew at home, but her items are so lovely I keep feeling the urge to be a completist and get the whole collection!
Happy blogiversary! I've been blogging for almost 4 years, and I've loved every minute of it! I love Colette patterns, and since I saw the restyled patterns I've been thinking of Parfait and Chantilly.
ReplyDeleteOK, so if you accept all locations, I'm in :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I can't believe you've only blogged for a year. Not only do you write every day, but you have something witty and insightful and interesting to say everyday ! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Congratulations. I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a great giveaway. I love reading your blog!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
...and Collette Patterns ;)
What a fabulous prize! I've been dying to try one of the Colette patterns. It's so nice of you (and Sarai) to give your readers a present.
ReplyDeleteReally love your blog. I'm still mostly a theoretical sewer, in that I have grand ambitions and plans and am absolutely terrified to actually cut into fabric, but reading your blog gives me courage!
Happy Blogiversary, so generous of you to host giveaways! I love Colette Patterns!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary again. You weren't lying; that is a great giveaway. Oh, too many things to love. Ceylon may be my favorite with Rooibos and Sencha close on its heels.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very generous giveaway, Gertie. Thank you for offering it. I love the Colette patterns. I don't own one yet; so I'm crossing my fingers. And again, Happy blogoversary.
ReplyDeleteI have an interesting post coming out on my sewing blog tomorrow; so please stop by if you would like to get to know me a little better.

Happy anniversary :) I love your blog and have read it every day for months!
ReplyDeleteI also love Collette patterns. This is a great giveaway :)
Happy Anniversary, Gertie! The only reason I don't have a Colette pattern yet is that I can't decide between them! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYep, That's a very attractive pattern. Happy anniversary and please enter me in the drawing. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOooh, great giveaway! Congrats on your blogiversary. I can't believe it's been a year already. I've learnt so much from you and been so inspired. Thank you!

Happy Blog Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try a Collette pattern since I found out about them a few weeks ago.
What a wonderful gift to your readers; thank you, Gertie and Collette! I'm in the midst of a 120-day "fabric and pattern embargo", so no purchases for me, but winning something is allowed. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with these patterns, and I still haven't ordered one! A $25 gift card will have me spending even more, for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat an appropriate giveaway! I've been lusting after Collette patterns for some time now but haven't tried one. Thank you for all of your thought provoking, informative, entertaining blog posts this year. I wake up every morning wondering what Gertie has to say. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first year! I have been lusting over the collette patterns for a while now, just haven't managed to get any yet!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow, what an awesome giveaway! Happy Blog-iversary!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've been so inspired and informed by your blog. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I've been here from the start! Colette Patterns is my FAVORITE independent pattern company (I wish I lived in Portland so I could work for her).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog, especially all articles with a feminist perspective on fashion, sewing etc. I would also love winning a Collette pattern, since I have never tried one before.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Those patterns are way too cute. I LIKEY Cinnamon too.
ReplyDeleteI love Colette patterns! Congrats on blogging for a year!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary! And here's to many more...:)

ReplyDeleteBetty
Congrats on your blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the Chantilly pattern and am really excited! That doesn't mean I wouldn't jump on the opportunity to win another pattern :)
I guessed that it would be Colette! Yay! Happy Anniversary!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I've followed and loved your blog since the very beginning... and YAY! I adore Colette Patterns, so fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Here's to many more years and many more wonderful patterns.
ReplyDeleteHappy Bogiversary! I've learned so much from reading your sewing adventures. Please toss my name into the hat for your give-away.
ReplyDeleteBefore reading you posts today I thought your blog was around for much more than a year. Happy Blogiversary.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I've really enjoyed your blog-I started reading last fall when I got my Bernina 210 and became serious about sewing clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try a Colette pattern!
Happy Blogiversary! I enjoy your creations and the thoughtful discussions that remind me that clothing is so much more than just fabric stitched together to keep us from being naked.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a generous giveaway. I would love to try a Colette pattern.
Great give away! Sign me up. Happy blog anniversary!tramb
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteI would love to add another Colette to my collection! Thanks for the giveaway, but more, thanks for the blog and for generously sharing your knowledge/thoughts/etc.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love your blog. It always inspires me to get back behind my sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Anniversary! I've been wanting to try the colette patterns.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Yours has definfitely become my "go-to" blog for, well, pretty much everything. Is it wrong that I heart it so much?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fabulous fashions, the sharing, the sewing and all the rest :)
Congrats on a great first year of blogging!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteYoou've inspired me to look for vintage-styled patterns to try so I can finally have something that really suits my figure.
Thank you.
Yay! What a fantastic giveaway, I would love to win! I'm working on Macaron right now, in fact...
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and to Sarai for such a generous prize!
I love the desings but am yet to try Colette patterns. Thank you! Thanks for another great give away. It is a great prize.
ReplyDeleteYour blog has inspired me so much. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThe Colette patterns are fantastic, although I haven't tried them yet. And it really seems like a good way to celebrate because I discovered them thanks to your blog. Which is fantastic in many ways.
ReplyDeleteOooh yay!! I love everything you've made with Colette Patterns so what a great opportunity to make some of my own!
ReplyDeleteI just found your wonderful blog yesterday and already a giveaway! I still have many back posts to read. I'd love to be entered. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm new to your blog, but funnily enough, I found it via the Colette patterns website. I am a big admirer of your versions of the Colette patterns. I hope I win!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Congratulations on a successful year on the internet! Your posts are very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a generous giveaway! I've been reading your blog for several months now and you've really inspired me to learn to sew my own clothes, thank you so much for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!! What a great give-away!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogiversary!!! Thanks for putting out so much great stuff to read :) Best wishes for a great year two!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I can't say I've been reading your blog for more than a couple of months. But once I found your blog, I spent the evening reading it all up! I appreciate so much, what you share. I get a little annoyed with *crafty* blogs that have lots and lots of tutorials on how to fake something that everyother crafty blog is also faking. I really appreciate that the information you share is aabout sewing things the right way. I learned to sew when I was just a kid, from my Grandma. She taught me the right way. I went to sewing camp in the summers (mostly with older women) and even took some pattern drafting and the like, classes in school. I love coming to your blog and reading about they hows and the whys to good sewing techniques. I think a lot of the details of handmaking have been lost over the last generations.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the great information you share, I love to see your own personal style! You are adorable.
I also adore the Colette patterns! I finally just broke down and purchased one pattern last week. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I would have loved to have ordered a couple more. It just excites me to think that by leaving a comment on one of my new favorite blogs, I could end up with a new Collette pattern. It is fun even if I don't win.
Congratulations, but most of all, I am so glad you are online and sharing!
Anjeanette
congratulations and thank you again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. I've had my eye on one of their patterns for awhile now!
ReplyDeleteI've just found your blog by the way and I love it! VERY inspirational.
Happy Anniversary-my daughter has been directed to your site by me so often that she has decided to do a retro (1950s) wedding. I know, the era is a bit off, but you can take credit for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteone year of amazing blogging! thank you for sharing this with all of us, your blog inspires me so much in my own sewing projects.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have been thinking about those pretty knew Colette Patterns for a while to.
Happy Anniversary, Gertie!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the reasons I wanted to take up sewing myself, and I've almost finished my first ever garment!
Many happy more years blogging and sewing to you!
oh man, i LOVE colette patterns! keeping my fingers crossed on this one :)
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your one-year! i wish i could say i've been there since the ~beginning~ but i read all the way back to day 1, does that count? :)
Wow. A whole year? And what a nice prize. Free patterns are always good!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary! I can't believe that you have only been blogging for a year! I use your blog as a reference and for inspiration. Happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteHappy first Blogging Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteGreat prize! I love Colette patterns. Thanks for a fantastic giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI actually just bought my first Colette Patterns after reading about them here! I only just found your blog a few days ago, and have been enjoying reading the older entries. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI never get the lucky number... Well, it's worth a try.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary - I have enjoyed reading your posts over the year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. Congrats on the anniversary!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWOW, your blog and I share a birthday...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I did not realize your blog had only been up for one year, due to its professional quality. Keep up the good work for many years to come!
Oh wow! Happy Birthday to your blog! I've never sewn a Collette pattern but have wanted to for AGES. Keep up the good work Gertie, I've learned so much from you! Thanks for letting us share in your sewing adventures!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the first time I read your blog was not because of your SBA tutorial on Colette pattern's blog!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing many of those patterns so far, but never had the guts to buy one (and there always seems to be a unique vintage one to buy or miss instead). But I especially love Sencha blouse and Parfait dress...
(in fact, I'd surely have bought Sencha already, had I known how to lower the neckline!)
Your blog has been a real inspiration/motivation for me and my sewing. Keep it up! and dear lord couldn't we all use more Colette patterns.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent prize!!! Happy blogiversary!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Your blog is great and I look forward to more vicarious sewing fun :)
ReplyDeleteYipppeeee! Happy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary! What a fantastic giveaway :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary. What a great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteGertie - happy blogoversary, may you have many more!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I have to thank you for having such an addiction to vintage patterns. You've inspired me, taught me and made me sew a lot more clothing this summer - for me. I have been making stuff to sell for kids, but with you as my sewing fairy/guide, it's become much more fun to sew for me again.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI really hope I win...

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first year anniversary. And, thanks for posting so regularly. I've never been much for blogs, but I daily check on Gertie since taking up sewing after too many years of knitting to count--I teach fiction writing at the University of TN, and your blog's a great cleanse after those often-pesky student emails asking for A's. Looking forward to another year...
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! You have inspired me to challenge my sewing and try patterns I would not have attempted in the past. Thank you! I enjoy reading your posts and actually used stay tape this past weekend on a short jacket thanks to your tips.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on year one, Gertie! Your blog and style are truly an inspiration, and I hope you continue this blog for years to come... It's kind of weird, but I feel like I know you so well, despite having never met or even corresponded with you. I guess that's the beauty of the internets!
