Book and Thread Giveaway!

I've been extremely remiss when it comes to blogging. What's gotten me to publish a post today? Well, it's the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day!  I've been planning on doing a giveaway and decided today's the day.


Last year when Brett Bara released her book Sewing in a Straight Line, I entered a few giveaways trying to win a copy of it.  Luck being on my side, I won two giveaways and with each I received a book and a set of Coats & Clark thread.  It's time to pay it forward. Today I'm giving away one copy of her book and one 18 spool set of Coats & Clark Dual Duty XP polyester thread!


Bonus! The book is autographed by Brett!


If you can sew a straight line, then you can make everything in this book! Stuff to wear, for your home and to give as gifts. Like these cute pillow cases.

In all there's 26 quick and easy projects.  Plus, some thread you can use to make them. 

How do you enter? It's simple. I majorly dislike giveaways that make you jump through hoops to enter or have a never ending list of ways to get extra entries. All you have to do to enter is leave one comment below. Just one, please. That's all you need. If you're meant to win, you will win with one entry. In your comment you can thank me for this giveaway. Tell me what is keeping you busy these days. What book you're reading. The movie you're looking forward to seeing. Whatever is on your mind. 

One very important thing. The profile you link your comment to needs to provide a way for me to contact you or leave your email address in some fashion in your comment. Also, international entries are welcome.

Entries will be accepted through Friday, May 25th at some point late in the evening CST.  If you can still leave a comment, then entries are still open.  Saturday I will randomly select a winner and contact them, as well as add it to this post. I'll tweet it, too.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Good luck and thanks for entering!  

Update 05/25/2012: Entries are now closed. The winner will be selected and announced Saturday (May 26th). 

Update 05/28/2012: The giveaway winner has been announced here.

    What is keeping me busy? Well, I'm working days and nights at the moment, so blog reading time is very short for me. Not reading any books or watching any movies at the moment either, as I'm too busy, but I am looking forward to the Batman movie coming out (and I hope that doesn't rule me out of this giveaway seeing as sewing and Batman might be mutually exclusive?? haha)

  69. parenting takes up my time mostly. i love to sew too, but it isn't what takes up all my time *sigh*

    thanks BUNCHES

    ReplyDelete

  70. Well, yes, I will thank you for the giveaway! What is on my mind, I'm being distracted by sewing by my husband's work related stuff. He has a follow up phone interview for a job in another state that keeps getting pushed out, so I don't know if I should stop starting new projects because we are moving or not. Also worrying..what if we move someplace where i don't have my own sewing room?!?! So I'm very glad to be distracting myself with entering giveaways this week ;)

    ReplyDelete

  71. Very nice giveaway! I would love both the book and/or the thread, as I am just beginning to sew and don't have a supply on hand.

    ReplyDelete

  72. Oh! Sorry I didn't leave a comment on what is keeping me busy this week. . . making a space in my dining room at the table for sewing! And, collecting supplies for crochet, painting and sewing so I can create in a few ways.

He is 9 weeks old and not a bit shy, so that is what is keeping us busy (holding on our sides laughing). Our house was so empty for those three weeks but not now.

  140. Hi! Currently I haven't much time for sewing because my cat is poorly and has just become a house cat because of it. This means that all my free time is spent turning half the garden into a cat run so he doesn't feel too cooped up. I have managed to find some time to sew a few catnippy toys for him but I have a few projects queued in my mind for when my free time is my own again! :)

    Thanks for the great giveaway - I could certainly use a book of quick and easy projects that I could fit in between installing fences and cat-netting!

    ReplyDelete

  141. The book looks really neat. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete

  142. Now that it is almost summer, I am really looking forward to our annual trip to the local drive-in movie theater. We put on our jammies, load up the car with sweet treats, and meet out friends to watch a movie under the stars. The kids compete to see who can stay up the longest and we just soak in the good cheer. This summer, we plan to see Disney's Brave. Thanks for the chance to share!

    ReplyDelete

  143. A virtual high five for the no-hoops-jumping! I soooo covet this book (and the hair of the model on the cover!). I can't wait for Hilary Mantel's new book, Bringing up the Bodies (set at the court of Henry VIII); I adored her book Wolf Hall. And I'm totally obsessed with Mad Men...I seem more interested in it this year, now that it's set in 1966--who knows why, but I am! Thanks for the nice giveaway!

  144. Sewing is keeping me very busy lately. Although, I have so many projects that need finishing, I am beginning to get overwhelmed by it all. Why can't there be more hours in the day?!

  165. You must have good karma, to have won two copies of this book. I would be thrilled to win just one. What's on my mind? Well, I just watched the season finale of Glee. I wonder what direction the show will take now that Rachel is moving to NYC. Thank you for the giveaway!

  167. Thank you so much for the chance to win the giveaway. I am keeping busy nowadays trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up (career change?) as I try to clear out alot of clutter that I'm finding very hard to part with. When that doesn't work, I keep busy exploring new coffee places with friends and crafting with them.
