    I would love to win this book, so I can participate in you “pattern making draft a long.” I started sewing about a year ago and of course started out with commercial patterns. It didn’t take me long to be irritated with them and want to find a better way. I have been very interested in making my own patterns for sometime and just didn’t know where to start. Hope I get the chance to join you.

    Love, love love! the origami shirt sleeves… I am completely INTO details in clothing.. so tired of the mass produced blandness of retail stores! And how danged cute is that brown jumper with the turkey tail in your linky party! And I DESPERATELY NEED that pattern making book! Hope I win it, it would be the first thing I have EVER won in any sort of drawing giveaway!

  54. Foster says

    10/15/2012 at 4:02 am

    Thanks you for hosting this giveaway. I’ve loved that book ever since I checked it out from the library! Now you may think I’m crazy, and I would like you on FB but I swore off FB until after the election is over. I just couldn’t stand the false facts and other’s crazy rants and opinions. And I’m sicking to my guns! I’ll take my chances with one entry.

  55. Meg says

    10/15/2012 at 12:08 pm

    Lots of great ideas here! Awesome giveaway too! I have taken up an interest in pattern-making recently. I even got a lesson from a local fashion designer… but it was in Spanish and mine is not so great (um, barely there?) so it was a bit overwhelming. I have been looking into books (in English!)to help me along but haven’t purchased any yet. Now I am thinking this one would be a great one!

  56. Angel says

    10/15/2012 at 12:33 pm

    I have been tinkering with patterns but haven’t made my own. I would love to try it out if I won!
