Giveaway! Mrs. Depew digital vintage patterns

by

I’ve got something fun for you today—a giveway! Yay!

Yesterday, you got to see my accidental playsuit, the top of which was made using the Mrs. Depew 1950s beach bustier pattern. Thank you for all the compliments! Because I had several comments about one particular aspect and forgot to mention in the post, I should clarify that I was not wearing a bra with my beach top. The top itself was doing all the work…which is some work. 😉

Now, good news for one of you readers out there! The lovely and talented Anna, the woman behind Mrs. Depew Vintage Patterns, has kindly offered to giveaway a digital copy of her 1950s style beach bustier top pattern that I used to make my own polka dot beach top, plus one other digital pattern of the winner’s choice!

With the beach bustier top pattern you could make your own summer playsuit like I did, or draft it into a gorgeous tiki dress like Brittany of Va-Voom Vintage did!

And for your second pattern you could stick with the 50s, go for a 1920s flapper look, try out a lingerie pattern like tap pants… you name it!

1. Go to the Mrs. Depew Vintage Etsy shop and pick the second pattern you’d like if you’re selected as the winner. Come back here and link to it in your comment.

2. Please include your email address in your comment if it’s not obvious on your blog.

3. You can get up to 2 extra entries by pinning a Mrs. Depew pattern on Pinterest, or by posting about this giveaway on the social media outlet of your choice, linking to this post. Then come back and leave a separate comment saying which of those you did, with a link. If you do two, leave two separate comments.

These patterns are digital and this giveaway is open to anyone in the world. Winner will be drawn at random.

The giveaway ends Friday evening, August 9th so get your entries in!

Good luck!!

    I would so love to win. I have been obsessing over your playsuit since you posted it yesterday and showed it to my hubby today. (he was less enthusiastic than me, but well, he is a guy.) I would also love the 1950’s inspired one piece swimsuit, here http://www.etsy.com/listing/96963907/vintage-style-sewing-pattern-1950s?ref=shop_home_feat. It’s totally gorgeous and exactly what I’ve been looking for in my less-than-successful swimsuit search this year. Love all the patterns though!

    I’ve had the beach shorts in my favourites on etsy for ages so i think I’d have to go with those if I won.

    What an awesome giveaway! I was just about to buy this exact pattern to use with the c view of the bombshell swimsuit, but I’ll try my chances at winning it first 🙂 I would definitely pick another lingerie pattern as the second choice, like the French Ladies 1950’s Pinup Bra – so cool!!! email is {thequirkypeach@gmail.com}

    Oh man… we have to choose just one??!

    I’ve been eyeballing her French bra patterns for awhile but i really need new clothes (moving from the North East USA to South East–Miami specifically–really has me at a loss for suitable hot/humid/muggy weather clothing).

    I’d choose the 1930s blouse and trousers…. I’d love me some beach pajamas! http://www.etsy.com/listing/108158219/vintage-sewing-pattern-1930s-blouse-and?ref=shop_home_active

    I loved your whole outfit and would like to try the top myself. My second choice would be the 1950s top and Capri pants

    I love Mrs. Depew’s shop, and have bought things from her before. I have an every growing handful of her patterns saved on a “to-buy” list, when I get through my current sewing necessities. Those hats! Those 30s patterns! Those coats! That lingerie!

    Right now I would probably go for the 1948 French beret.

    I would love to be entered and have been drooling over her 1930s blouse patterns. If should be picked I would like 1126, the bell-shaped sleeve one. lmwva atyahoodotcom

    Thanks so much for sharing your finished photos with us, I would have been hesitant to sew one of these myself just from the line drawing but the fit looks wonderful on you! Its getting harder and harder to choose a favorite from all the wonderful offerings at Mrs. Depew but I’m partial to 1121- the 1930s evening gown. Thanks so much. pa7oma(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)mx

    Took me forever to pick a favorite out of all her wonderful patterns, but I finally settled on one that I’ve had my eye on for a while-https://www.etsy.com/listing/154880628/vintage-sewing-pattern-1930s-dress-in?ref=shop_home_active

    Your bustier looks fantastic, I’m hesitant that I would be able to make one that fits as well!

    Oh my, how generous of you both! I have been admiring your makes for quite a while but don’t comment very often (so tricky on my phone, where I do most of my reading) but you are very clever. I love the embroidered touches you do on things like your tulip pockets and your tailored jacket was amazing. And of course, the playsuit was just lovely! I’m not entirely sure how comfortable I’d feel baring my midriff but I’m trying to challenge myself, so I’d love to be in to win that pattern, and this amazing blouse http://www.etsy.com/listing/102402096/vintage-sewing-pattern-1950s-ladies

    I must say, it was one hell of a choice, she has some amazing things!

    Oh my – trying to pick a favorite is so hard – I love them all!
    I think I will go with 1950’s Cocktail or Wedding Dress – Depew 7121, as I desperately need a new evening dress and have just found the perfect fabric.
