I'm super duper excited to share with you what I'm working on and to announce this week's pattern giveaway. As you may know, this week's theme over at the Sew Weekly is Alfred Hitchcock heroines. ooohhh! So much fun! And I'm currently in the process of making up the dress and jacket from McCall 9089. I better hurry up because my post goes up on Friday! eep! I've got the jacket nearly complete and about half of the dress and I am LOVING it!
If you've been following my blog for the past month or so, you'll know that I've started a weekly pattern giveaway based on the patterns I sew up for the Sew Weekly challenges. Part of my impetus for doing so is to help spur those that may want to get into vintage sewing OR to give a special goodie to those that are already vintage sewing fans! You see, I
So there you have it....why I love weekly pattern giveaways!
So up for grabs is McCall 9089 from 1937 in a size 16 (Bust 34). All the pattern pieces are present and the envelope is in a fair vintage state (some staining but overall fine).
As with other pattern giveaways, this pattern giveaways will be open to readers everywhere and the only restriction is that you do not sell the pattern. Keep it and love it for however you long you want and when you are done, pass it along to someone else!
To enter:
Leave a comment on this post by noon GMT Sunday, please also leave a way for me to contact you.
If you are technologically savvy and connected then post about the giveaway on 1. your blog, 2. twitter or 3. facebook for an additional entry for each method (so you can have a total of up to four entries...be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you've done any of these extra things).
I'll announce the winner on Monday and I'll ship anywhere in the world. Just a note that shipping can be a bit slow.
If you win a pattern, you can't win again for another six months. And again, the only caveat is that you don't sell the pattern. Keep the pattern for yourself as long as you want and when you are done, pass it on to someone else!
I totally love this pattern! Don't put me in though because I just know I will never get round to making it bigger to fit me. What a find though. x x x

This is lovely and I can see myself making this one come summer! You are a gem sharing your vintage patterns around - such a great idea - they deserve an exciting life too!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea behind these giveaways. I'd do the same if I had a knack for finding vintage patterns like you do. Please count me in, and I will pass this gorgeous pattern along after I'm through with it! Thanks! amy.ahearta at g mail dot com.
ReplyDeleteokay, don't count my comment as an entry (I love the pattern, but 30s styles can be really hit or miss for me--especially ones with a higher neckline! :( So I'd rather someone who will look smashing in it win!), but I love that you are doing this. I think I've said it before, but I want to say it again--you are so generous! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just cool! Enter me please!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness that pattern is lovely! I'm in! And the back of the dress is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh this is glorious! I am particularly partial to dresses with interesting necklines or cutouts, and this makes me swoon. I'm trying to be fussy about which of your giveaways I enter, given the (clever and fair) 6-month restirction, so I'm only after the ones I love! And thanks for opening this up internationally :) jwintour at clear dot net dot nz

ReplyDeleteOh wow! Look at those back details! *drool* You find the most fabulous patterns Debi! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming pattern! I have been dying to make some summery 30's dresses (summer is going to last for at least another 2 months here in California, so I have time...)
ReplyDeleteMy email address is peach.assassin@gmail.com and my blog is www.peachykeenstitches.blogspot.com
What a fabulous pattern! The slim line plus the back slits are to die for. Plus, the size is perfect. You have such an eye for patterns - whenever I find some they cost around 40 $... Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is so interesting, I haven't seen one with slits in the back or the cute little buttons. The peter pan hat is hilarious!
ReplyDeletewhat a great pattern & giveaway! put me down for an entry :)
