This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Kyle for winning!
I mentioned recently that I had been having some really good luck at the thrift store lately. And yesterday was my 35th birthday. So, I decided we should have a giveaway celebrating the 3 decades I've been on the earth. And what better way to celebrate than with 3 decades worth of vintage patterns??
Iconic looks from the 50s through the 70s, up for grabs for one lucky reader. All look pretty much intact, although I didn't count all the pieces. They are all size 12, bust 32.
Can you get more 1950s than this full skirted confection?! It has a lovely bateau neckline with a sneaky vee in the back. The sleeves are cut on, so it's an easy sew. The jacket has short kimono sleeves, a peter pan collar and pockets. I love that the fashion illustration shows the jacket lined with the dress fabric.
For the 60's, we have a seriously fab, Mad Men style wiggle dress. That collar!! I die. No waist seam, so you could get creative with dropped waist options too, just by hacking it off at the hips and adding a skirt. (
Tanit-Isis, I'm looking at you!)
Oh the 70s. Y'all, I'm not gonna lie. I have a soft place in my heart for crazy 70s fashion. And these bell bottoms are screaming "crazy 70s fashion". Can't you hear them?! I love that they illustrated them in bright oranges and pinks. A-may-zing.
Since I'm not a fan of complicated giveaways, I'm making this easy on everyone (especially me!). To enter, leave a comment on this post.
Be sure that your profile links to your email, or you leave your email so that I can contact you if you win. I am happy to ship anywhere on planet earth, but if you live across the waves, I don't promise fast. But it'll get there. Good luck! I'll close the giveaway, Wednesday June 27th at 8PM (Mountain time).
This is just a few of the patterns I've been finding lately, and since I can't sew them all, I've put quite a few into the Etsy shop. Since we're still celebrating here, how about a coupon to the shop for all of you lucky readers? Use the code HAPPYBDAY for a 15% discount on everything there. There are a ton of sweet patterns to choose from, and I'm still adding more! I'll leave the coupon active until July 23rd, so we can celebrate my birthday for a whole month!
