Another will win a metre of fabric in 4 fat quarters .
Another will win a pattern of their choice from my shop .

That really isn't so hard is it ?

  5. Oo well I love everything but for a beginner like me ( I am trying sooo very hard!) I love the Sewing Machine Apron Pattern its brilliant, I am for ever losing bits and bobs and its perfect for that!

    Hmmmm What else would I like to see well maybe some more unique helpful patterns for things just like the apron pattern, oh and it has to be simple because I am only just starting out!

    Thanks so much for the chance to win!

    I love all your creations but the one I would love is the Sewing Machine Apron.

  12. If Oprah was smart, she'd be begging to have you on her show! Congratulations on the big 300! And how in the world could I pick a favorite from your wonderful patterns? They are all so cute...... but probably Toby steals my heart just a little more than the rest of them. And next? How about an elephant?

    By the way, in the States, that book is called One-Yard Wonders - and it's great! I love the little tie back pinafore for toddlers - I'm getting ready to make another one for my granddaughter for Christmas!

  23. Glad to hear you're feeling better Clare. Happy 300th post!

    Chris the Crocodile is my Favourite pattern. I think it would be fabulous to have fabrics to go with the patterns, so people could buy everything in one place.

    And Oprah should interview you!

  29. Hi Clare, Glad you're feeling better! If Oprah won't interview, I will!! So...my favourite pattern is your Sewing Machine Apron. I must make one! I love the idea of having a little spot right there in front of me, while sewing, for my gadgets. And you know I love gadgets! My Purple Thang, that dreaded unpicker, screw driver, extra bobbins, etc, etc. And I'm waiting for that cat pattern too! Cats don't seem to be very popular lately. Have a great week, Clare. Poppet and Pumpkin say hello. *smile*

  37. Glad to see you're feeling well again. Congrats on 300 posts! Lol, I have a big bag of advent goodies so I'll pass on the giveaway but when I have a dedicated table (not the dining table :( ) I'll be buying a sewing machine apron pattern. I think Toby needs a cat friend to lounge around the place with or to chase up a tree :).
