Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway week...

For the last few years Sew, Mama, Sew! have run a giveaway week (or day) and on every occasion I've missed it. This year, by a strange quirk of fate, rather than any spectacular organisational feat on my part, I'm delighted to be find that the week isn't yet over and that I still have time to join the many other sewers giving things away.

I've chosen two of my patterns to give away and will be giving away three copies of each. The first might appeal to those with small children in their lives: The Three Bears' Sleeping Bag PDF pattern will help you make either a Baby Bear, Mummy Bear or Daddy Bear sized sleeping bag depending on the size of the creature needing a warm bed! I've given so many of these as gifts, as well as making them for my own childrens' bears, and they always seemed to be received with complete delight. If you'd like to investigate further into the kind of animals these beds will accommodate, you can see this post, entitled Unwieldy Antlers and Other Sizing Issues. Or if you'd like fabric inspiration, then you might like to head over to my Flickr pool, where you can see some of the lovelies that other seamstresses have whipped up using the pattern.

The second pattern being given away is the Slouchy Make-Up Bag pattern - it's attractive enough to be left out on a dressing table and is lovely to give as a gift (or to make for yourself in a moment of self-gifting). Unlike the Three Bears' pattern, I have no post detailing the size of make-up brushes that can be squeezed into this bag, but I find it to be cavernous and that it's slouchy form when opened allows for easy rummaging!

Whether you've come over from Sew, Mama, Sew or are a regular reader, just leave a comment below letting me know which pattern you'd like to win and I'll draw the six winners as soon as giveaway week has closed. Remember to either check back to see if you've won or leave an email address if you don't have an active Blogger profile.

As this is a PDF that will be emailed to the winners, it is of course, open internationally.

UPDATED: WINNER & PATTERN SALE ANNOUNCEMENT

Thank you so much for all your entries. The proportion of people who chose the Three Bears' Sleeping Bag was so high, that it seemed fairer to choose four winners for that pattern and two for the slouchy make-up bag. Congratulations to the winners - your patterns have now been emailed to you (except for Elaine - I'm having trouble finding an email address for you), so please do let me know if you haven't received it for any reason.
