Tasha Could Make That

Tasha Could Make That

Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

Summery sewing patterns giveaway!

June 1, 2012 by Tasha 39 Comments

Happy Friday! First and foremost, let me say thanks for the encouragement on my tips on getting over a crafting slump. I know I’ve personally kept these tips in mind all week, and I’m pleased to say I just finished up the dress I mentioned in the post (photos soon once it warms back up, we’re going through a chilly spell). And also many many thanks on all the wonderful comments about my new pullover! (In fact, it’s so chilly I’m wearing it today!)

♥ ♥ ♥

Here’s the giveaway I promised last week and then forgot about (whoops, lol). Two vintage Simplicity sewing patterns that I think would be perfect for summer. The blouse pattern should look familiar as the one I mentioned I started last fall and tried to pick back up, but I need a break from it. When I ordered the pattern originally I accidentally bought the wrong size, so I thought it would be perfect to do a combo giveaway with another great pattern.

Simplicity 2579 dress – Bust 38, waist 30
Simplicity 4608 blouse – Bust 40, waist 34

The envelope on the blouse pattern is very rough, completely open on two sides and the dress envelope is in much better condition, though still “used” of course. Both are printed patterns, and have all pieces and instructions. Neither are dated, but the Vintage Patterns Wiki puts the dress at 1958 and the blouse is probably from the 1940s.

Aren’t they both great patterns?? If you win, please do share if you sew either of these up!

How to enter the giveaway:
  1. Be a follower of this blog, anywhere on the planet.
  2. Leave a comment on this post. 
  3. Want an extra entry? Post about this giveaway on your blog, tweet about it, or mention it on Facebook. Just post a separate comment on this post with a link to where you mentioned it so you get counted twice.
  4. Don’t forget to leave a way to contact you if your blog or profile doesn’t have your email address.

The giveaway ends Tuesday night, June 5th. Winner will be pulled using Random Number Generator.

Good luck, and have a great weekend!

    Isn’t this weather crazy. I had to turn the furnace on today, it was 66 in the house. On a lighter note, some time in August I’m going to stay the weekend at my sister’s in Chicago, maybe we should have a blogger coffee date, what do you think?

      Great, when the time gets closer I’ll email you. She lives by Linkin Square, is that anywhere by you? I know this is early but people have their summers already planned out.

      It’s not near us per se but would be very easy for me to get to by public transportation (the vintage inspired salon I go to is in that neighborhood). Definitely email me as it gets closer! And glad you like the lippy too! 🙂

    Congrats on getting over the crafting slump. I keep hearing that slumps are normal but they’re so frustrating.
    Please enter me in the drawing for the patterns. What a great excuse to go fabric shopping! “But honey, I need the perfect thing for this dress!”

    What gorgeous patterns! I would love to make both as I will be nursing a new baby soon, and a lot more busty than most of my current patterns, and these both are front buttoning. Thank you for the opportunity to win. I love reading your blog 🙂

    Hi Tasha!

    Oh, I’m so glad you were able to get past your sewing slump and create something! There have been some pattern giveaways in certain corners of the net, but nothing has sparked my interest until I saw yours in my feed. I couldn’t pass these up! Thanks so much for hosting.
