April Giveaway: Little Things (For YOU!) to Sew

As you might know by now, I created the trailer for the new book "Little Things to Sew" by Oliver & S.:



Well, my friend Liesl (the Creator of Oliver & S) was nice enough to send me a copy of the book. Then, the publisher sent me a copy, too! So I'm giving one away to you, my dear readers. It's a gorgeous book, filled with the most excellent projects, and full size patterns to make them. Here are just some of my faves:


Red Riding Hood cape. As the "Bolt" blog points out, there's so many other things you could do with this pattern!

Penguin Backpack. I mean, shouldn't every kid have one?

Explorer vest. For the small geek (and I only use this term with grave affection) in your life.

I don't have kids, but I sure know a lot of them. Many be getting some gifts I've made from patterns in this book, for sure. Christmas crafting just got easy!
If you would like to win a copy of "Little Things to Sew", please leave your name and email address in the comments section of this post. I'll pick a winner at the beginning of May, and ship the book to you where ever you might be. Good luck!

Update: This giveaway is now closed. Amy is our lucky winner. Thanks for playing!

    I found your blog through flikr and the traveler dress. The book would be fun and maybe this time I'll win! Nice job on the trailer.

    Honestly, I want this book for the back pack alone! I love the fact that they have some boy patterns in this book, designers seem to overlook little boys!

    Nice of you to give away one of your copies!
