Hello kittens! Yes, I apologize for being AWOL. What can I say – life got in the way, but it wasn’t interesting, just holiday/family and general life stuff, so I haven’t bothered blogging about it. Hopefully I’ll be back with some completed projects soon.
But in the meantime… it’s giveaway time! I am clearing out some space, and I found that I have duplicates of some patterns (how did that happen?!). My absentmindedness is your bonus. I have 4 patterns to give away tonight. And here they are:
Vogue 8449 by Claire Shaeffer
Sizes 14-16-18-20
Vogue 8473 Divine Details
Sizes 6-8-10-12
Butterick 5522 Muse
Sizes 8-10-12-14
Butterick 5519
Sizes 8-10-12-14
All you need to do to win one of these is leave a comment before midnight on January 16, stating which one (one per person, please) you would like. You don’t have to follow me or “like” me or sign up or other such silliness. This benefits me as much as you – I’m clearing out space in my studio. So just tell me which one you want. On Sunday, January 16, some time after noon, I’ll randomly draw one name from each pattern preference and that lucky winner will get a free pattern!
This giveaway is open only to US residents. Sorry – I’d love to send them internationally, but at $15 a whack for priority mail flat rate, that’s not going to happen.
So, if you’re in the US, and you want a free, fabulous pattern, just leave a comment!
Hi – I’m in Australia so don’t expect you to send the patterns here. But wanted to comment anyway. That long black dress – drool worthy. And the dress/jack combo just underneath has gorgeous detailing. I will have to ferret out my own copies!!!
Thanks, Ann! You are so generous! I would love to win that first Vogue dress, 8449. My niece is getting married in May, and that would be lovely to wear. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
Oh, please put my name in the hat for Vogue 8473 – the jacket/dress combo. I’d love to make that one for my daughter. Thanks so much for doing this.
None of them suits my taste, shape and size, unfortunately. It’s nice of you to offer the giveaway, and thanks for not making the readers jump through silly hoops.
A film foundation once tried to make me become a bank’s facebook friend in order to get money from the bank. I did go on facebook, but there was a technical issue, and I decided the whole thing was ridiculous.
I love Butterick 5522! And as I’m very new to this sewing business, it looks easy enough for me not to screw up too badly.
This is so nice of you!
Ann, you are too generous for words…lovin’ the butterick 5519 iffin in comes my way…I am getting ready to get back to sewing as I have to make costumes for the kids’ Seussical musical…grace is a giraffe…hahahaha!
Oh Dear, can I tell you how many times I’ve done that (bought a pattern that I already own, that is)? Okay, either one of those Butterick patterns, I’m pretty sure I don’t have, LOL, if I have to pick one, it’s not that Muse one, the other one. Over this “snow-apalooza” week, I finally figured out how to post patterns on ebay. I’ve got about 6 of my old maternity patterns up for auction at present (my youngest is 10). ttteeeeeheeeee! (it’s okay, you can laugh)
8473– the Divine Details one looks like something I could really use! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love Butterick 5519. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would LOVE to have the Vogue 8449
I love Butterick 5522 Muse!
Thanks for such a generous offer! It is extremely nice of you! I would love to win the Vogue 8473 Divine Details pattern.

Thank you for a giveaway and thank you for such a wonderful blog. I love to see what you’re making and get inspiration for future projects. You do have gorgeous fabric!
I would love to win the Butterick 5519. I love all the views on that pattern but would really like to make the sleeveless version for the upcoming summer.
Thanks for such a nice offer! I would love to make and wear the Butterick 5522 Muse.
I would like to make the vogue black dress in burgundy in a 40mm crepe
Love to have the Vogue 8473. It is calling my name can’t you hear it?
B5519 would be my pick. And the fact that it came from you would give it extra fabulosity. Thanks for the offer and for writing your blog!
Butterick 5522. Simple but with a sexy sixties style.

Hoping that it would work out for a rectangle – lol. Thanks so much for offering the patterns!
What a lovely give away! I would love to have Butterick 5519! I’ll keep my fingers crossed (but that makes it difficult to sew).
Hello, hope all well with you? Just to let you know I made up the Muse dress with Navy and off-white knit you sorted out for me. I’m delighted wth the results, thanks you.
Butterick 5519 would be my choice. Thank you for your blog and the details you share, they are very helpful.

Yay for giveaways!
I love the Vogue 8473 Divine Details pattern, but would not be disappointed with Vogue 8449 by Claire Shaeffer either!
Butterick 5519, please. The sleeveless version would be lovely for the summers here in Cactusville. A cute cotton print, with some detailing on the waist band…I can see it now!
Tough choice!! If I won though, I’d like the Butterick 5522 Muse pattern.
Butterick 5522 would be great! Thanks for the opportunity! Hehe.. so does that mean you’re going to have 2,010 more giveaways suggested by your post title? I’m not expecting more, but your title made me smile.
Vogue 8449 please.
I love 8473! (-:

I really love the collar on 8473 – thanks! I love your blog

V8449 would be wicked great!! thanks Ann

Thank you! I’d love Vogue 8449 because its gorgeous!
The Butterick would be fun! Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I’m in love with Butterick 5522 Muse. I’ve lately come to like wearing short dresses as long shirts since genetics guarantees me to never have the legs for short dresses alone. The arm detail is gorgeous.
Butterick 5519 is my preference. I really enjoy your blog – very inspiring in both artisitic and personal realms!
Butterick 5519 is my preference. Love to follow your blog – very inspiring in many ways!
Butterick 5519 is my preference. I appreciate your blog and find it very inspiring in many ways! Thanks for all you do…
I can see making Vogue 8473 dress. Looks lovely. Thanks for doing this.
Butterick 5519 is just what I’ve been looking for!
i like this one: Vogue 8473 Divine Details
Butterick 5519 looks pretty cool. i just found your blog because i’m thinking about trying to learn to sew so having something to get it started would actually make me do it.
Ann,
It’s nice of you to give away these patterns. I would love to make the Butterick 5519 in a nice spring fabric. It’s a beautiful classic and contemporary look. I am starting to sew again after a long absence and your site and fabric has really given me some needed inspiration to get out of a rut. Thank you.
I would love to add 5519 to my ever-growing pattern stash!
What a lovely surprise it would be to win Vogue 8449. I would certainly sew it in a Gorgeous Fabric!
Thanks so much for such a sweet giveaway! I would choose Vogue 8473 – The Devine Details because the details really are divine!
Oh dear! Here I made a resolution to do some purging also and what am I doing instead? I really love Butterick number 5519 and know my stash would gladly accept it. Mmmm, maybe resolutions should start on the Chinese New Year?
I hope I’m just in time to vote for Vogue 8473 for myself. What a great combination and it’s nothing like I currently have in my wardrobe.
