Today’s giveaway is sponsored by Paprika Patterns.

Paprika Patterns is a two person company that was originally founded in the Netherlands. Their patterns are designed with the busy woman in mind, as the general design of their garments has comfort as it’s premise. In addition to the unique and edgy designs, the patterns are created with clever construction techniques that can save you time and give the garment a truly professional finish.One winner will receive 3 pdf patterns from the Paprika Patterns Shop:

The Jade Skirt:

The Jade is a curve-hugging skirt you’ll feel comfortable in. The eye-catching folds are what makes this skirt special, while the knit fabric will make it feel like a snug cocoon. Make it in a solid double knit to keep you warm in winter, or use jersey with a fun print to make it stand out even more. Add even more details by installing an exposed zipper at the back. With both a mini and a longer version this skirt will be in heavy rotation before you know it!
The Jasper Sweater Dress:
Designed with the cold seasons in mind, the Jasper is the perfect garment for snuggling up on the couch with a hot cup of something. Going out of the house won’t mean changing though, the Jasper is comfortable and edgy. There are multiple ways to personalize your Jasper: make it in one color, contrasting hem, cuffs and welt strip or even contrasting side panels.
View A features a big and asymmetrical hood with three optional buttons. If you’re not into hoodies you can choose View B, a big collar with an optional epaulet. These neckline options are interchangeable between the two length options: a sweater or a longer version than can be worn as a dress or a tunic.

 

The Onyx Shirt:

 

Clean lines, minimalist details and a slightly boxy shape – the Onyx shirt is the perfect garment for warm summer days. It is designed for medium to lightweight woven fabrics and is perfect for showing off beautiful prints. In a plain fabric this shirt will quickly become an easy to combine summer wardrobe staple.
This garment has multiple options for a truly custom piece. View A is a shirt length with a high neckline. It has short sleeves and cuffs. An epaulet and button hold up the cuffs. View B is a cropped top with a scoop neckline and narrow waist darts for shaping. However, sleeves, cuffs and necklines are interchangeable between views.

  83. Hanna says:

    Yay! I love Lisa’s patterns and her life in the yurt is so inspiring! My favourite sewing tool would have to be pattern weights. I used to pin my patterns before I cut them. I made my own pattern weights by ribbon wrapping some large metal washers and I have never looked back!

    Love these patterns! My favourite sewing tools are my vintage fabric scissors (no-one touches my scissors!), and my genious little seam allowance gadget.

  90. LaLa Sews says:

    Hm, that is surprisingly hard to answer. I like my swedish tracing paper and the weights that I bought at the hardware store. one of my seam rippers fits in my hand beautifully, which is just as well since I use it all the time. My serger is the thing that gives me a little thrill every time I use it.

  91. Brenda F says:

    Adorable patterns!

  92. Jasper and Jade have such cool design features–exactly what I look for in patterns.

  102. Redhedhels says:

    I love Paprika patterns and am so excited for the chance to win! As a beginner I’m not sure I have a favourite as I’m just finding my way around at the moment. I wouldn’t get very far without my scissors, though!
