My sewing journey has come a long way in a year... Of course at school we learnt the basics of how to thread the machine but I only remember making a pillowcase so there was plenty of room for improvement!
Over the last year I have learned all sorts of bit and pieces from the internet, tutorials, friends and books, but mostly just from simply having a go. Everything from embroidery to creating patterns has been a learning curve for me and I'm so pleased I persevered!
My favorite item of clothing when I was a child was a cape that my Nanna knitted for me for my birthday. She didn't have a pattern but I told her what I wanted and away she went. It was so gorgeous - a rich burgundy colour with little white flowers embroidered over the chest. It had a secret pocket on the inside for storing my treasures (how cool) and I felt like the most special girl alive when I was wearing it.
To celebrate my one year anniversary I would like to offer a very special giveaway to one lucky follower...
A cape or jacket for your little one (or a friend's little one) suitable for a boy or a girl and the cape or jacket is available in size 1, 2, 3 or 4.
These are valued at $100 so a very special prize indeed!
