How did you fare in the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day? I did very well for myself indeed. Unfortunately I let the deadline for giving stuff away slip by me (which is why I’m joining in a different giveaway, see below…), but I had a ball finding new blogs and entering a couple of dozen giveaways. And I won two! Firstly, I was the lucky recipient of a voucher to Lauren Williams’ madeit store. Lauren creates jewellery pieces using fabric covered buttons. I chose these two pieces:
And I love them both!
Secondly, on its way to join my small but growing quilt book collection, will be the learn to quilt book given away by Dianna of “Someday I’ll Be…“. Thankyou Dianna ๐
Which brings me to my giveaway. I’m signing on to ‘attend’ the SEWN Launch party. Have you heard about this? SEWN is the new online quilting and sewing community about to launch. As part of the party, loads of blogs are signing up to giveaway free stuff, and you can win prizes at the site as well.
What am I giving away? These two books:
1. Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter, and
2. Yeah, I made it myself by Eithne Farry
How do you win? Simply leave a comment on this post, telling me which of these books you’d like to win (or ‘both’, if you want to be in the running for either book), and you’ll be in the running to win ๐ Make sure to leave an email address so I can contact you. I’ll randomly draw two winners on Monday June 8th, at (let’s say) 6pm Melbourne time. (That’s Melbourne, Australia, not the other one!) Good luck!
Lastly, I know this has been a pretty Niamh-centric blog of late, but I just have to show you her creative space! A friend gave her a sticky-foam-shapes craft kit for her birthday, and would you believe this occupied her for two straight hours today?! That is simply astounding for a three year old, if you ask me!
i would like to have simple sewing!
tq!
I would love to win either book. Thank you for the chance to!!
Wow – you’re daughter is a crafty critter too!!
I would be happy for either of those books you are giving away to come and live at my house – I’m pretty new to quilting and have always been a dreamer and love flicking through books and magazines for ideas and inspiration.
oh wow, books! i can never resist craft books! i’ve been eyeing simple sewing, so i suppose that’s my favourite, but really, i’d love either!
thank you so much for the chance to win!
Ooooh, Lotta’s book would be lovely thanks Melanie!

Simple sewing would be great, but then again so would be other.
This is a great giveaway!
I’d love both, but would prefere #2 – Yeah, I made it myself by Eithne Farry :giggle:

Mrs B

Thanks for the giveaway I cannot choose so either woudl be great
Put me in for both please! don’t apologize for blogging about your little one. It’s very inspiring for me to read about the next generation of crafters.
I have been looking at Lotta’s book for quite a while. I would love to win it! I haven’t heard of the other, so I can’t say I wouldn’t want to win it. ๐ both!
I could certainly use some inspiration! Either book would be great!
