Wow I have received some neat parcels this week! 😉
(Apologies in advance: All these photos were taken with my phone because I have leant my usual camera to a family member)
I get most of my online purchased delivered to my work PO Box number, it’s just that bit more secure plus if I don’t have any reason to check the box the rest of the people I work with (all boys, heh!) will never check it!
This week I got three parcels! Ohh!
The first was from Robin at a little sewing, my copy of Drape Drape 2 that I won just before Christmas.
Ohh I love new sewing books. There are plenty of reviews about this book all over the internetz so I’ll just show you the two patterns that I am immediately caught my eye:
No. 3 three-piece vest with oversized pockets, page 30
no. 7 two-piece open batwing dress, page 52
Parcel number two was some AMAZING fabric that I keep seeing on different blogs and have been hunting hunting hunting for and when I finally found it I just got out my credit card and BOOM! Here it is:
Alexander Henry “Sewing is Easy” comic book print cotton
I am thinking of using this for a vintage dress but I am not sure if it will be too much, so perhaps I will add in a contrast for some elements…hmmm 🙂
the curious kiwi 
I would keep the Patrones and there’s a Burda Easy Fashion that I have two of.
GREAT pattern pyramid, I would love to try the patrones magazine, lots of lovely items in there.
Count me in!!! 🙂 I would love to look closer at your Patrones mag and the Prima pattern tops before choosing one (never had any of those before) and would probably add a pattern into the mix before sending them along. Thanks…
It’s a shame about photobucket business.. I’m itching to see your photos! please count me in, I love the pattern pyramid giveaway concept 🙂
Hi there, please out me in the draw for the pattern pyramid. I love this concept. My computer won’t show the pictures you’ve posted for some reason, so this one’s a mystery pattern pyramid for me!
Hi Leonie, I have put you in the mystery draw, haha, yes something Has happened to my Photobucket account! I am on holiday so I’ll have to fix it when I get home on Monday. Please come back next week & let me know which pattern you fancy, it’s fun for me to see what everyone chooses 🙂
Oh wow this is awesome-pyramid’s back in the Antipodes XD and super generous of you to put in a Patrones. I’ve heard of the Prima patterns but never seen one of those either-interesting. Please count me in. If I win I’ll either trace off and replace or add a fresh pattern to replace the one I choose.
Yay! I’m glad it arrived, and quite quickly too. Um, I don’t wish to enter, just wanted to say: yay! I need to look into sewing magazines … (Because I need more patterns! Hmmm)
You know, I don’t own any sewing magazines, so if I am lucky enough to win I’m likely to keep the patrones pattern…
Yay, you are in the draw 🙂
Hello,
Just wanted to ask, where did you get the patrones subscription. I cant seem to find anyone in Australia who can help me with that. Do you have a subscription for Mannequim. This is a great magazine, I have been buying both of them on ebay. Hope you can help. I am in Melbourne. Oh, by the way, I love your blogs. Xxx
Kind Regards
Dana Gibson
Hi Dana, thanks for commenting. I do have a subscription to Manequim, I think I am on my 3rd year with them (and I did have one with Patrones for slightly longer) – The easiest way to subscribe is to email them. I have all the information on this page here. I hope that helps. I love getting Manequim the most, it is so fashion forward and exciting, I always get inspired. 🙂
Do you want to enter the pattern pyramid too?
It’s really cool that the pattern pyramids are still going, I’d love to enter!
I know, I was surpirsed when it arrived that it was one of the original ones 🙂 I have entered you in the draw, do you have a favourite yet?
Oh right, sorry! I think I’d keep the Patrones if I won because I don’t have access to those patterns where I live and some of them look really fun
Awesome, I had a feeling the Patrones would be popular 🙂 It’s so much fun to spread the sewing love
I shall like to enter your Pattern Pyramid! The last one was so fun. I hope that the Pattern Pyramid you won and that I have mailed you comes soon! Let me know when it does. Cheers! 🙂
I am excited (and lucky) to have won two pyramids, it’s so fun. I will definitely let you know when it arrives and get it up asap. I have put you in the draw 🙂
Fabulous!
I wouls love the Patrones, I just spotted a little dress with my name on it..
Great, there are some super cute things in this issue 🙂 You are in the draw!
