ReplyDeletebut if you are in AU and I am in the US, it would cost a lot to mail it here.
But I will be reading your blog, love vintage sewing.

&i would love #2!
Count me in! If I should be so lucky, I have grand plans for item #2, even if it takes several months for it to ship to Canada via snail-mail (not a bad thing, really, as it will give me time to finish my other projects).
ReplyDeleteOh, fun! :) I am fancying this dress at the moment:

I'd like #1 or #2, I just can't choose between the two!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dress of the moment is a dress I made several years ago, but it's just so summery and delicious: Vogue 2962. Here's my version of it: http://theyeartwentyfifty.blogspot.com/2009/07/vogue-2962.html
I really love Vogue 8633: http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8633-products-10775.php?page_id=857
ReplyDeleteI confess I haven't made it, but it looks delightfully versatile.
Were I to win I'd most prefer #2. :)
You so totally rock!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like Retro Butterick B5209 - http://butterick.mccall.com/b5209-products-7476.php?page_id=371.
ReplyDeleteThough it is beyond my skills right now, I think this dress would make anyone look like a movie star.
I would like to be entered for the Vogue pattern (#2).
Thank you for the giveaway.
I posted a link on my blog. Please enter me for pattern #2. Thanks again.
ReplyDeletePattern 2 would be lovely! I do really like pattern 1 but I definitely don't have a 26 inch waist so that kinda rules it out for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently lusting over this Vivien of Holloway dress - http://www.vivienofholloway.com/1950s-Halterneck-Prints/1950s-Halterneck-Blue-Rose-Dress-and-bolero.html
Hello, what the hay, I will enter a chance to win either the skirt pattern or the dress pattern. Thanks! Also congrats on your win on the Miss Dandy site!
