Pattern Giveaway !

Here I am with another giveaway , this time it is one of my patterns .
If the Sewing Machine Apron looks a little familiar it's because it was a special commission for Handmade Magazine and was published last year . Some overseas visitors may not have seen it so this is a great opportunity for you to win a copy .
 I had so many requests for it to become a stand alone pattern and now I've finally gotten my act together and done it !
I can't live without my Sewing Machine Apron as I sew as it is short enough that it doesn't get in the way of the fabric going in the machine and the pockets aren't too deep so I can't lose things like clippers in the bottom of them .
Would you like to win a copy ? Please leave a comment and please make sure you can be contacted .
Giveaway is open to all as a little thankyou for putting up with me !


After the giveaway I will have copies of the pattern in my shop and in my Ebay shop .

Such a great idea! My granddaughter is constantly trying to take my pin box (it makes a great shaker/noisemaker) or my scissors from beside my sewing machine - this might cure that problem, or I might start finding odd things in the pockets! And thanks for posting a comment on my blog - it's always nice to see new people on there! I'll be following your blog now - looks like you do lots of neat things!

Oh yes indeed I would love to win this beautiful pattern...I could so do with that little pocket under my sewing machine and I do believe I might have some fabric I could use somewhere in the cupboard full I own...if not in the cupboard, I am sure there is some in the crates or the suitcase I could use...surely...
yes indeed it would be very handy.

WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA, I ALWAYS HAVE A CLOTH BETWEEN MY SEWING MACHINE AND THE TABLE. THIS WOULD BE VERY HANDY IF I AM USING MORE THAN ONE BOBBIN. IF I LEAVE IT BESIDES THE MACHINE THE CAT THINKS ITS HIS.
PLEASE COUNT ME IN.

Hia thanks for visiting my blog. I'm glad you liked the wildlife. Usually it's more to do with crafting like today's post but the sun was shining so we gadded off.

Love you sewing machine apron idea. I hadn't see it before.

Jules said...

Hello Clare,
Just dropping a line to back you up on just how handy the machine skirt really is. Of course I made one up using your pattern from the magazine and find it very handy. I am buying a sewing machine for my little one's birthday and have this pattern in mind for her to sew up one for herself. If you happen to draw out my name I would like you to redraw please as I have the magazine. Hoepefully an overseas person will win it.
