Giveaway: Betsy Ross Patterns

I am getting ready to sew another dress (my last one was this one). I’m doing one of the dresses that I wrote about in an earlier post, the Eclair dress (the first one pictured).

Anyway, I know some people have never sewn clothing for themselves before, so I wanted to share 2 sewing patterns that would be great for a beginner. These patterns are from Betsy Ross, and the first is called the Twirly Skirt (I believe this is for one of the smaller sizes); I also have a tote bag pattern called the T.G.I.F. Bag pattern. Both come with paper pattern pieces to cut out, and an instruction booklet. I will draw 2 winners.

How you can enter:
1. Leave me a comment and show me some love! Also, tell me which Betsy Ross pattern you would like to win.

2. “Follow” my blog (if you’re already a follower, super!). Then, just leave a second, SEPARATE comment saying that you follow me.

You can have up to 2 entries. I will randomly choose 2 winners, each will receive one Betsy Ross sewing pattern! The drawing will close on Wednesday, March 2 at 11pm CT.

    OK, so I don’t sew clothes but just wanted to stop by and say how much I love your blog and have added it to my sidebar and will click to follow but, if you pick me to win the sewing patterns, pick again because they would sit in a drawer and never be used – I buy clothes and make quilts!!!
