Giveaway!
I have spent the last few days sewing Freya new spring dresses.
I really love sewing for her.
She is always so excited and grateful to receive new handmade clothes.
I wonder how long it will be until she will want 'store bought' clothes.
The first dress is an Oliver+S pattern.
I love making Oliver+S clothing.
The instruction are simple to understand.
For me that is an absolutely necessary.
I am fairly new to clothing sewing.
The second is a Simplicity pattern.
Sometimes those Simplicity pattern are not so simple to understand.
Heather Ross' 'Weekend Sewing' book is amazing.
If you would like to enter the giveaway please leave a comment.
Friday night Freya will pick a random name out of her big sombrero hat!
Good Luck!
You did a lovely job on the dresses. My gal finds store dresses and asks me to make one for "but better please"

What a fantastic give-away! And I'm thoroughly impressed with your sewing talent, your little girl is going to look beautiful!
ReplyDeletei'm really excited for some of the projects in that book. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletei've got a little girl asking for a new dress....
ReplyDeleteI finally got myself a sewing machine so I can begin my lifelong dream of sewing. I got the machine 5 years ago. I figured out how to thread it. It looks good sitting on my antique sewing table. OK...I admit it. I need help. Maybe this awesome book is the answer to all my sewing prayers. At the very least...it will keep my lonely sewing machine company until I take a lesson.
ReplyDeleteAm I too late for the giveaway? Lovely dresses.

I want to learn how to sew, I used to do it as a teenager with my mums old machine. Would love the book, hope you post to Northern Europe...
ReplyDeleteDarling dresses! I always loved it when my mom sewed for me. I still have the First Communion dress she made for me when I was 8.
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for this giveaway! The dresses you made are beautiful! I am new to sewing too and hope to be able to make summer dresses for my girls. Wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteCamille...those dresses are ADORABLE!!!!!! I make dresses for the shop and I know what you mean about the not so simple Simplicity Patterns. I would love to be entered into your drawing~thanks! Laura
ReplyDeleteLovely! I would love to win as well!
ReplyDeletesuch pretty dresses! i'd love to try some things from weekend sewing. thanks for the giveaway. i'm having one on my blog right now, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would love this!!!
ReplyDeletelove the spring dresses! i really want to get more into sewing for my little jane-bug!
ReplyDeleteCute dresses! Found your blog through Vintage Swap and I really LOVE your doily curtain! Thanks for the opportunity to win your generous giveaway!
ReplyDeletei cannot resist a good book giveaway. thanks camille!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in your giveaway! Both of those dresses are super sweet-I have a thing for owls, so I adore that jumper!
ReplyDeleteI love to see what you have been sewing! My oldest daughter is past 9 and still wants only mama made clothing. Lucky me! Have you thought about doing the Jump Rope dress pattern?
ReplyDeleteVery nice giveaway, thank you!
I think I have made that second dress before, and also found it a little too complicated for a child's garment. I've done other similar designs without a problem, though, so I'm sure there's an easier pattern out there. The dresses look amazing, either way! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

I love the dresses, they are beautiful. I'm sure with dresses like that 'store bought' won't be preferable! I've heard that the book is great, a super idea for a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreat dresses! I was really impressed when I saw all of your girl's dresses (or frocks). Count me in on the giveaway!

Very cute dresses, I love the owl fabric on the brown dress. Supercute!
ReplyDeleteme too me too. :)
ReplyDeletei totally need this inspiration! I have been hoarding fabric & w/ 2 little girls, I totally need to handmake them some cute attire!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the Simplicity pattern being not so simple. My sewing consists of skirts for myself and patching holes in boys' jeans.
ReplyDeletePlease enter my name in your drawing for the Weekend Sewing book. Thanks!
i am on my second hold (checked out from the library), and this time they actually included the pattern! i'd love a copy. (and i wish that owl dress was my size! though it wouldn't be as cute on me!) : ) thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book. I've been admiring it for some time. Thank you for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteHope I am winner!
