ReplyDeleteThanks for offering this giveaway, Gertie! I took your first book out of the library, but that didn't really give me the opportunity to sew anything since I couldn't really unfold and use the patterns (even though they were included). So, I bought it and can't wait to get started sewing. I'd love to add your second book to my collection, and how cool would it be to win it for free? (Very cool is the answer! :)
