My very first giveaway!
Sew, Mama, Sew! is having a giveaway day, and I don't know if I got in on time or not (if not, I'll try to stick myself in their twitter feed), but, either way, here's my prize:
A little blank book, coptic-bound in purply-pink thread, with purple covers and silvery endpapers.
(EDIT: my husband says it's not purple, it's pink on the covers... I'm not good with colors, but I think he's right.)
It's not absolutely perfect, so my perfectionist self won't let me sell it, but it's really quite nice and good for a giveaway! It may not be sew-ish, but it is sewn with needle and thread, lack of fabric notwithstanding... and the sew-ish people can use it to jot down pattern ideas :)
To win, leave any comment at all below. Open until next Monday morning.

how pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love it, totally up my alley! Love papercrafts & journals like this!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is just perfect. Why's that, I hear you ask? Well, because 1. Purple is my favourite colour; 2. I have a slightly unnatural attraction to notebooks; and 3. I just learnt the coptic stitch, so I heartily admire how much work is in such a beautiful piece!! :-)
ReplyDeletePerfect or not, I really like it, I'd love it to write all my ideas in as they pop into my head.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win it.
It is wonderful, very beautifully made.

I love making (and receiving??) handmade books - yours looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just lovely!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm 8, and I have my own sewing blog. My mom is teaching me to sew. I am also doing a giveaway. So please come and put your name in.

My mom is doing the giveaway too. Her blog is www.sewingwithtrudy.blogspot.com
This is beautiful. I can relate to wanting to only sell absolutely perfect items, it's a constant battle because I know that I'm the only one that knows about a skipped stitch or whatever funky thing I did.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteRJBmom7@aol.com
You make really beautiful books!
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway and congrats on winning a giveaway yourself in the previous post. Isn't it fun to be a winner?
ReplyDeleteI would love to win your notebook. I'm always looking for paper to jot down ideas or sketch out pattern plans. I can never have enough since my toddler tends to steal it all and draw one line of every page.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bookbinder too. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI love little "nothing" books to write in...especially when they're as cute as this one! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! Great color :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's gorgeous! Bookbinding is one of those crafts I've tried, but not gotten heavily into, though I certainly want to. Maybe I'll have to pick up and try again sometime soon.
