Dear friends…I am totally late with the Sew Grateful Giveaway schedule but I thought this was not a reason to prevent me from hosting a giveaway anyway!
Here is what I am offering as a sign of my gratitude to my lovely readers and all the fantastic people I have met through the blog…my sewing life wouldn’t be the same without you! My special mention during this gratitude week also goes to my patient and cute photographer!
Prize Number 1
Your choice of one Paco Peralta skirt (based on availability)…for example… Just go on Paco’s Etsy page and let me know which one you’d like
UPDATE 13/02/13: this prize will include a special surprise from Paco himself. Thanks Paco!
Prize Number 2
Your choice of one Maria Denmark pattern between the Winnie Wide Legged trousers or the MariaDenmark 103 – Day-To-Night drape Top!
To enter leave a comment below with your prize choice and tell me what you’re Sew Grateful for. The giveaway is open until Friday, February 15 and anyone, anywhere is welcome to join in.

I like the NEW “Half-ciclre skirt” pattern from Paco Peralta, and the Winnie Wide Legged trousers pattern. I’m grateful for the sewing blogs I’ve found in the past year that have helped me learn more about how to sew my own clothing. 🙂

I’d like to be entered for Prize 1. I really like the “Half Circle skirt” pattern from Paco Peralta. I am so grateful for all the wonderful people I have met through blogging and the kindness and creativity of the online sewing community. I am always inspired by reading other sewing blogs! I learned to sew through 4-H and I am very grateful for that. Without that opportunity, I don’t think I would be sewing today. Thank you for the giveaway!

I love the Portefeuille skirt – it’s has such an interesting wrap styling.
Hmmm….it’s hard to choose one grateful thing, even if I narrow it to sewing related. Very high on the list is gratefulness for the wonderful online sewing community. I’ve “met” so many people and without them I’d have no one to share my hobby with!

I’ve always liked being able to sew things I like that are of better fit quality than whatever you might find in the store. That has kept we well dressed for work when I didn’t have the paycheque to match.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway. I’ve like Paco’s Half Circle skirt for awhile now.
All the best to you!

Oh what a lovely prize and it’s so difficult to choose, but I think the Portefeuille skirt is so elegant and would be a great addition to my collection.
As for being grateful, will it’s difficult to choose, but possible my mother for getting me sewing in the first place when I was probably 7 or 8. There are so many bad habits that I refuse to change because Mum taught them to me!! 🙂

Oh wow, this is super generous of you-count me out though, I have all the patterns I need and skirts really aren’t my style (I rarely ever wear skirts and ride around town on a scooter/ use public transport so it won’t get used). You should totally make up the apron skirt in contrasting colours though.
