Bloggerversary giveaway


Guess what? It was over two years ago that I wrote my first blog post, tentatively showing off my Sencha blouse! Can you believe it?! I've LOVED documenting my sewing journey during this time, and I'd like to thank you all for providing such support, encouragement and friendship along the way.  As a mark of my appreciation, I have a pretty awesome giveaway for you. Oh yes!

There are two elements to the giveaway, both courtesy of the super-generous Kate from M is for make.  First up is a choice of one of the new season patterns from Colette - the Anise jacket or the Juniper trousers. 




Having already made a coat this year, the Juniper trousers are the ones that get my vote, I've got a cunning plan to make a pair of these in red for the summer....  If patterns aren't your thing then Kate's also offering one of her beautiful, co-ordinating fabric bundles. All fabric bundles are detailed here on the M is for make website, so hop on over and decide which one is your favourite. 


I love this little Seaside bundle. I can just imagine the most darling cushion made from the seaside fabric, backed with the navy boat fabric and maybe some anchor buttons. So cute!  

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post stating which pattern or fabric bundle you'd choose if you're a winner. You're more than welcome to enter for both elements. The giveaway is open worldwide and closes at midnight GMT on Sunday 4th November. Please make sure you leave your email address if it's not linked to your blogger profile so I can contact you if you're the winner. Good luck everybody and here's to another happy blogging year! x

  1. I am hyperventilating at the thought of making myself an Anise jacket in navy wool for the winter. Or maybe winter white? Or red? Too adorable!

  2. I think a cushion might be possible given time constraints so would love to be entered for the seaside fabric bundle.

  7. Congrats on making it to two years! After having my baby, I've put blogging on the back burner, but I'm still at the sewing! Which is more important for me though. I do still love lurking your makes! As for the giveaway, I'd love to have the Anise coat pattern, and (difficult decision here)the Bittersweet Bundle. Perhaps I could try my hand at a quilt for my cousin's baby, and get it done before the birth in February?

  62. Congratulations! I would love to try my hand at making a jacket. Have made two already but that was in the early days of my sewing when my skills weren't quite ready yet. So it would definitely be the Anise jacket for me :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Happy 2nd Birthday! So much lovely bundelry (is that a word??!) going on there! I would adore the Seaside bundle too!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Happy Bloggerversary! I have loved following your journey. You give much inspiration. If I were to win, I'd go for the trouser pattern, since my wardrobe is needing some well made trousers and I haven't been confident enough to tackle any yet.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think its about time I made my first real trousers that didn't have an elastic waist! So I'd be delighted to receive the pants pattern. Oh dear, having looked at the fabric, I'm not sure I can resist some of those fabulous bundles - Schooner is my favourite, followed closely by seaside - can I never resist anything nautical.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Happy bloggerversary! I have used the boy and girl on the beach fabric on a baby carrier for my grand-son, it is so sweet! Having said that I would go for the Anise pattern! Still unsure about which jacket to choose, but I've found the fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  67. oof, throwing my name in the hat here! I've got my eye on the Juniper pattern... I think it would make a lovely 60s-esque jacket and skirt set :)

  96. Congratulations on two years! I'm just coming up to my first!
    I am tempted by the Juniper trousers to branch out into something new but I think the Anise jacket might just win as it's too gorgeous a style to refuse!
    I'd pick the new bittersweet bundle because of the lovely colour combinations, and because I've had my eye on that random orange check for a while!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Congratulations on your two year blog-versary. I discovered your blog earlier this year and have been a weekly lurker ever since! I love the clothes you make and they suit you so well. (I may also be slightly envious of your lushious locks. I would love to have lovely blond hair such as you!)
    If I won I would definately pick the Anise Pattern. I am dying to try that out.
    With the fabric I would choose the Liberty Bell bundle. So lovely. I might have to investigate further...
    Best of Wishes for more happy bloging.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Congratulations on having been posting for two years and thank you for sharing all your sewing achievements with the online crafty community.
    The Anise jacket is not my style. The Juniper trousers, however, are absolutely to die for! I have never made any trousers, so the Juniper would definitely be a milestone in my sewing journey.
    And the Schooner bundle is so cute I can't resist. Turquoise and grey is the best combination ever. May I please enter for this too?
    Thank you for this wonderful giveaway and I wish you many more years of blogging about.
