Birthday Giveaway!

April 15, 2016

So I turned 23 yesterday, I'm pleased to say that overall 22 was a great year.  I think the past twelve months have really given me a chance to get to know myself better.  It sure has thrown up some challenges however I've come into 23 much stronger, healthier and happier than I went into 22.

Saying that I think my highlight of the year came last week when I nailed the splits at yoga.

The Splits

I also got Gertie's books for my birthday.  I seriously can't wait to get stuck into them, I think I have about twenty things I want to make from them already!  While I haven't gotten too stuck into them just yet I love how well they are made.  Spiral bound books really are wonderful!

I mean just look at how wonderful they are.

Seriously can't wait to get stuck in, just look at this dress!

Anyway onto the giveaway....  It's no secret I'm a massive fan of Susan of Measure Twice, Cut Once's bra kits.  I've made my very first bra and a stunning Watson from her kits and can't speak highly enough of them and today I'm sharing the birthday love and giving you a chance to have one of your own.

The best bit is you get your choice between a purple or blue kit.  I'm seriously in love with them both.

  26. I love the purple - but would love to have the blue too. I have Gertie's Vintage Casual book out from the library right now and think it's fantastic, but I'm not in the size range, so it's just inspirational instead of practical for me. You can contact me in the Bra Making Forum as Elizabeth Evans McNabb

  27. oh such a tough decision! i think i'd go with the blue (and i'm @jadorelecafee on instagram)
    congrats on being able to do a split! that's not an easy thing at all.
    which of gertie's books do you think you'd recommend most? i'm thinking about investing in them but i've got quite a tight budget!

  43. Happy Birthday!! This is my first visit to your blog, and I'm excited to peek in on all you are sharing on a regular basis from now on :) Found you thru a bra - making facebook group, and am excited to have a look thru every nook and cranny. After 20 yrs of garment sewing, I'm excited to start my bra making journey! These kits look like the perfect way to get familiar with the different fabrics and supplies I may not have handled yet. The blue would be a "safe and rational" choice for me. But I must admit that the purple might just give me the push I need. Either way, they're both beautiful, and gorgeous :)

  44. What a positive post! It's ladies such as yourself who have helped to make my sewing journey such a positive one. I look forward to 'my' time when I get to sew, and I'm loving this whole online movement of sharing advice and encouragement. Keep it up and happy birthday! (The purple is pretty special). :-) joolsra@gmail.com

  46. Happy Birthday!.
    I can't believe you can do the splits now when you couldn't before - I think it's been about 20 years since I could do the splits (and probably far too late to ever be able to again). I love the purple set - purple is one of my colours. I've been following you for a while but you can also msg me at junkforlou at gmail
