Okay all you silly ladies who kept emailing me and emailing me to find out when I would finally be finished writing Dancer!  Well,

IT'S DONE!!!

That means it is time for my Giveaway!  Four may not be a particularly special number to most people but it is to me. I have four kids, I have four pets, and I really wanted the last four cookies for lunch today (but the kids beat me to them!)...and I now have FOUR patterns out! So, I am offering my first Giveaway to celebrate!  

The winner will receive each of my four patterns and enough fabric to make the Dancer skirt in any size! 

Isn't this fabric so fun for summer?  It is from Bessie Mary.  Jan at Bessie Mary has a beautiful blog and store.  Stop by and see her other yummy fabric! 

This giveaway has a total value of  $80.00!!!

And wait, there's one more thing I must tell you.  This week I am going to be rewriting my first three patterns.  I have learned lots since my first pattern and those of you who have already purchased these patterns from me, don't panic!  I'm not changing the pattern pieces or the construction of the garments.  What I am changing is adding more diagrams and explaining things more fully so that even the most basic beginner sewer will not have any difficulty with the instructions.  So, the winner of this Giveaway will receive the VERY FIRST of the revised patterns!

Here are the rules to be entered into the drawing:

1. Become a follower of my blog.  If you were a member before, it does not count.  You must be listed in my Google Friend Connect since I am no longer using the other member log.

2. Post a comment to this post. Tell me how you heard about me and how you learned to sew.

3. Link to this post on your blog and leave the link your comment.

If you do all three, you will be entered three times in the drawing.Giveaway ends Saturday, May 1st at midnight.  Good luck!

Edited to add:  Some have mentioned that they are getting notification of every comment left after them.  I put a message into Tech Support but until they change some things, you may want to go in and edit your profile so your inbox doesn't get crammed with new comments!  Just sign in and on the far left, there will be a button to edit your profile.  If you don't understand what I mean, just email me!  Of course if you want to see others' stories on how they learned to love sewing, just check your inbox.
