To celebrate my year of blogging, I am having a give away. Three unused, one even unopened, Hot Patterns will be auctioned off. If I can figure out how to use a random number generator, well even find one, though I must say my internet skills have improved enormously in the last year, so I suspect I can, will be used. To be eligible you have to be a follower of my blog, and leave me a comment by the time I have the drawing on Tuesday morning, March 9 Eastern Standard time.
These two ar in the old, Glamour Girl sizing of 12-20 or bust 38 to 46 that were drafted to fit B/C/D bra cup.
Tell me which pattern or patterns you want and I'll put your name in the hat, so to speak.
Sewing update.
Burda jeans need hemming and more rivets as 5 fell off and I used up my extras, so there are only 3 left on. I bought them in the city from Bottani, and stupidly didn't buy enough extras. I didn't even use really heavy weight denim either! The jeans look great from the front, but even after making a muslin, I have some issues with the back. I'll try one more pair from this pattern and if I can't fix the issues, I'll look for another pattern. They are comfortable, so they'll be great for work.
I am also working on altering a jacket pattern and I'll post more about that next time.
Have a good weekend.

Happy Blogaversary, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen BrianSews' blog? Back in February he posted video tutorials about rivets and tack/jeans buttons and how to attach them: http://www.briansews.com/2010/02/how-to-attach-rivets-and-tack-buttons.html
I haven't tried his methods because I haven't made any jeans with rivets etc yet, but the videos are very good.
Happy Blogaversary!

ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! I love the jacket pattern if you are willing to post to Australia.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOo AND you reached 100 followers! Perfect round numbers! The suit came back from the cleaners looking EXTRA spiffy and I have recruited the Hooligan to take photos of me on Tuesday before Korean class. However, I refuse to wear the suit to the bar because then I would come home smelling like cigarettes and have to dry clean it again (YUCK).
ReplyDelete(btw love the giveaway idea)
Happy blogaversary Nancy! When I attach rivets I try to turn the top on the spindle after hammering it in. If it moves I bang some more until it is fully stuck together and won't turn. I don't need any of these patterns, but I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary! Time sure does fly. I, too, have enjoyed your blog very much.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary, yours is one of the few blogs I follow, because you have such ideas and love seeing what your making next. Keep up the good blogging. I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! I've been following your blog for a while now, and I'm always so impressed with what you create!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be in the drawing for the t-shirt pattern. I can never have enough t-shirt patterns!
