You guys! I totally got my patterns that I won from the Pattern Pyramid through Sew Darn Tired! I was so blah today. I was sick all weekend; migraine and stomach stuff. Today I was so tired and I missed work. Then I finally remembered to check my mailbox. And there they were! All the way from Australia (home of my fave bands-Crowded House, Hunters and Collectors, ACDC)! Made my day.
Onto the Rules:
Anyone, anywhere can enter by leaving a comment on this post by the end of September 2nd but you must have an active blog.
I will randomly select one winner, and post them the collection of patterns along with hand woven labels to be sewn into anything made from one of these patterns.
The winner will then pick one pattern to keep for themselves, then host their own giveaway. They will randomly select a winner, post the remaining patterns to Person A.
Person A will pick a pattern for themselves, host their own giveaway and post the remaining patterns to the winner, Person B. Person B will do the same and so on until there is a last pattern winner.
For more information, including details of the charity supported by the very generous donor of the patterns, please see Karen’s post and the code for the Pattern Pyramid button.
And now the goodies.
I’m not going to tell you which pattern I am choosing. It’ll be more fun that way. I will tell you what I would do if I kept each pattern.
The Very Easy Vogue dress. So 80′s. I could whip this up for work, likely forego the turtleneck underneath but it would have to be a fairly modern fabric so I don’t look too Murphy Brown. (You young folks can google that.)
The 70′s Simplicity jumper. If I made it for myself I would have to WAY grade up the size but I love the style. It would be so cute made up for summer or with tights for fall. Or I’d give it to Tanit-Isis.
The Sew News blouse. A great work appropriate blouse. In a cotton lawn for next summer. It’s 2012 so you don’t HAVE to tuck and belt it, Claire Huxtable.
The doll pattern. I don’t have kids (and I just saw a creepy doll episode of Murdoch Mysteries) so I likely won’t keep this. But if I did I would stitch up a couple and donate them to the children’s hospital.
The Simplicity jumper, blouse and skirt. I would sew the dress in a Chinese silk (or similar). The collar reminds me of a mandarin collar. I know I’m probably way off here but I’d go with an Asian inspiration. Especially since the death of my Touch of Asia dress.
Okay, kiddies, comment away. Looking forward to seeing your entries. Remember I will send them anywhere.
Look what else I got as a bonus gift!
Some stretch lace. Perfect for a project I’ve had on the back burner for awhile. Thanks, SDT!
What I’m listening to: Message To My Girl by Split Enz
Lucky lucky girl!!
I LOL’d at your Claire Huxtable comment… totally, right? ^__^ I’m in for the next round of the giveaway, please!! 
I considered making an 80′s tv reference for each pattern but thought it might be too much.
I could get so much more sewing done if I watched less tv…
You’re in the mix!
Please count me in! I like the vogue in the top left and the simplicity in the bottom right of your photo.
I will have to grade up the size of whatever I keep…unless it’s the dolls.
Some nice patterns for sure. You are in!

cute, the very easy vogue catches my eye
I think it would be very easy too! Would make a great LBD.
You’re in.
Count me in too, thanks!
Done!
Thank you for stopping by!
Count me in!!
Consider yourself counted.
Ooh! The Sew News blouse has caught my eye! Please throw my name in the hat.
Lots of fans of the blouse. A few special pieces in this lot.
You’re in!
I would love to be in on this! What a fantastic idea! Super love the sew news blouse!
You’re in! I like the blouse too. Tough decisions…
The Simplicity one, please!
Please add a link to your blog!
Your name is in the hat!
Oh, I thought it was in my profile. My blog is: http://www.meladori.com/shesinfashion
Thank you!
Thanks! I want to check it out and I’m sure others do too!
Oh tough choices. I am with you that the dolls are probably the least interesting to me, but still would make good gifts. Hmm, that Very Easy Vogue could look pretty current with the right fabric and accessories. The older Simplicity is so cute and being multiple pieces would be pretty practical. I can’t wait to see what you’ve chosen.
A couple of gems, for sure. I change my mind every couple of days but I think I’m decided now…
I love the vintage dress but would have to grade down. The swinging 70s is cute and live the easy vogue! Count me in!
A few great offerings!
You are in! Thanks for coming by.
Hey Glad you like the lace – I’m glad you got a nice lift from the parcel on such a terrible day for you! what fun… I’m glad you like the lace!
It made my day! The lace is something I looked for on my last US trip but didn’t find. Thank you!
I would love to join in – if I win you could send them back to Australia!
For sure! Maybe I should hand deliver them so I can finally make it down there.
You are in the mix!
Send me the simplicity so I can knock off that Jil Sander dress I love so much!
Please count me in! I love the idea of this pattern pyramid. Tough choice as to which pattern I would keep as they are all nice!
What a lovely lot of patterns! I agree that the dolls can be a bit creepy, but for a good cause I would make them too! I wouldn’t know which one to keep – close my eyes and point at random? I would love any one of them, really
Pattern Pyramid idea…..fabulous, now if I can just catch a pattern:) to join in the fun.
Count me in please
Ooh, you got some good ones! I’ll throw my name in to this round
I hope you’re feeling better.
I really am digging that 70′s jumper. Count me in.
Ooh, count me in, I’m determined the pyramid will get to NZ!
