Saying that I think my highlight of the year came last week when I nailed the splits at yoga.
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.
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment stating which colour you'd prefer and a way for me to contact you and you're entered. Saying that I would love it if you'd follow me either on Bloglovin', Facebook or Instagram.
Details - Giveaway is open worldwide, entries close April 23rd 2016
Disclaimer - This giveaway was not sponsored, I purchased the kits myself, I'm just a serious fan wanting to share the love :). Seriously check them out.
Emma I'm so glad 22 was a great year. I have been wanting to make the Watson for so long and blue is my favourite colour. How did you find making it? I must admit I'm nervous.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I love reading your blog and seeing what you have sewn! Great ideas and explanations! I see your posts and read your blog through the Bra sewing groups on facebook. I would love either of the findings colors your posted. That aquaish shade of blue is a fav color, and so is the purple... So feel free to surprise me! stephanie.pickin@gmail.com
ReplyDeletezomg, that purple is so lovely! Happy birthday :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I love the blue! Email of littelredlupine at gmail dot com.
ReplyDelete23 will be even better than 22 :) that blue is so sassy! I'm 1madison_rachel on instagram
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteoh such a tough decision! i think i'd go with the blue (and i'm @jadorelecafee on instagram)
ReplyDeletecongrats 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!
Happy Birthday! I think both colors are pretty but I prefer the blue. Email is magicsew@aol.com
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! both of the kits are beautiful and my favorite colors-darn-some decisions are soooo hard to make. But since the folks above me like the blue, I will go for the purple! Thank you for the give away.
ReplyDeleteMany Happy Returns.....Both of the kits are so pretty and sensual in colour, but my preference would have to be blue. You are so very generous, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I would love either color but would probably prefer the blue. I'm new to bra making but am sooo excited to try. You can reach me at bo_jenn@hotmail.com Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Thank you for such a generous giveaway. While both colors are lovely, I think I'd have to pick the blue in the end.

Happy Birthday, I hope 23 is wonderful for you. The purple is my favorite. Again best wishes
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. I think the Blue is my favourite. I have been looking into lingerie making lately as well, and the watson bra does seem like the best pattern out. DixieODare@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteHappy 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 :)

DeleteWhat 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
ReplyDeleteYay splits!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue :-) And I'm following you! You can contact me through commenting on my blog. tropicalthreads.wordpress.com
Happy Birthday!.
ReplyDeleteI 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
Happy Birthday--I love the blue. I just completed my first course on Craftsy and also have learned so much from the facebook groups of bra makers and blogs that I have read. My email is houseofdesign1993@yahoo.com
