Sew Grateful Pattern Winners

 Here are the winners of the patterns. Since I couldn't find the slingshot (I hate it when we clean up) I had to use a different method to determine a winner when there was more than one person requested a pattern. If only one person asked, they got it; when there were multiple entries (Butterick 4018 and McCalls 9361) I wrote the entrants names on a piece of paper and did Itsy, Bitsy Spider to decide.

So...

 McCall's 8770 goes to Phillipa . She has the most beautiful pair of knit gloves in her lastest post. And it hadn't occurred to me to have someone else knit my stuff, since I am so dreadfully slow. Well, it had, but I wasn't sure who I could get to do it. I will have to look into it. Thank you for the tip.
.

To Meriwether goes the McCall's trousers. Unfortunately, Meriwether didn't leave any contact details. If anyone knows her, could you ask her to drop me a line with her mailing address?

McCall's 9361 was, by far, the most popular item. I hadn't looked that closely at it until Jackie mentioned the princess seams. And sonofagun, it does have princess seams. I wonder if I have time to trace it...no, I doubt wrap dresses do well on bicycles. Maryall, this is going to be heading to you. Maryall has a number of links to free patterns on her blog, and she looks so very elegant when she models her versions.

And Butterick 4018 goes to Rachel. Rachel knits, and spins, and sews. Am I the only one who didn't know Christchurch had an earthquake three years ago?  Rachel and an number of people she knows are still rebuilding.













Thank you all for entering. I have enjoyed finding new blogs to read and, as always, finding out about other little corners of the world.

Ladies, please check your my email so I can get your mailing address.

Take care!

Sew Grateful-Pattern Giveaway

(ETA: Blogger is driving me batty. I have no idea which pictures, if any, are showing up; please scroll all the way to the bottom. I will publish this, and try to edit it (again) in the morning. Maybe Blogger is just cranky from lack of sleep. Gah!!)

It certainly doesn't feel like the end of February so Debi's Sew Grateful Week rather took me by surprise. I'm sure I have some fabric and other things to giveaway, but I am running out of time (I'm going to my visit my parents in the morning) so the patterns will have to do.

Without further ado...







































Please tell me which one(s) you would like before midnight CST on February 28. If I have multiple requests, I will use the same 'random number generator' I used last year to pick the winners. I will mail anywhere, but please leave your contact information either with your comment, or have it easily accessible on the link to your name.
