Okay so maybe the title needs work. But who cares because it's GIVEAWAY time!!! Yippeee...
I promised a giveaway at 80 followers so without any further suspense....
Here is whats up for grabs!
Prize #1
2 Vintage Simplicity Patterns, Both size 14 (34" Bust)
The one on the left is a cute nightgown pattern with three styles, or you could use it for a dress. either or.
The other, is a dress or two piece with big patch pockets and a collar. I never got around to using it but I would love to see it made up!
Prize #2
2 Pieces of vintage fabric
A white and light blue baby houndstooth:
Measuring: Approx. 91cm (35") Selvedge to Selvedge
144cm (56.5") in Length
This was listed as wool when i purchased it, it is lightweight and woven, But I havn't come up with anything to make with it, I would love to see what somebody could do with it!
The other piece of fabric:
Measuring: Approx. 156cm (60") Selvedge to Selvedge
172cm (68") in Length
I have no idea what this is, It was given to me with a lot of other fabrics still sitting in my stash.
There have been two squares cut out of this piece on a single layer... not too much a loss.
It feels like a woven cottony lineny (Technical terms) type thing. But I am no fabric expert...
There may just be enough to squeeze a dress out of.... I think it would make a great Beignet.... tee hee
It even has the tag still on... Made in Italy!
Can you make out what it says??? |
And Prize #3
A pretty antique-gold "Olga Berg" Clutch/Purse
Brand new Olga berg purse, made from a sparkly gold rayon. Kiss lock closure and gold chain (You can also remove the chain to make it a clutch)
Lovely gold lining with a little pocket for your lipstick/phone/etc.
Its small, but big enough to fit everything you need to take for a night out!
Its not vintage but has the right kind of look.
