Blogiversary Giveaway from Sew Me A Song!!

I kind of can't believe it, but today is my first BLOGIVERSARY!! Even more exciting is that my lovely friend Becca who happens to run the extremely fabulous etsy shop Sew Me A Song (best name ever, or what?) is offering a fabulous giveaway to my lovely readers! Yay!!

Becca was co-owner of Sew Fresh Fabrics, but then all sorts of life changes (all good) led to her opening up Sew Me A Song in April this year. Sew Me A Song has a focus on Japanese fabrics and other fun, quirky prints. She has some seriously funky fabric.

Fabulous texty bundles:

I have a something like 90 patterns listed at the moment, including children's, women's and maternity, so you have a pretty huge range to choose from :)

Some of the super cool patterns I have there:

 And HEAPS more.

If you'd like to win, please leave a comment here telling me your favorite style of vintage pattern :)

Baby Blanket Giveaway!!

Spring has sprung! To celebrate the return of the sun, and to promote my facebook page for The Elven Garden, I am having a give-away being drawn next Saturday at 9pm EST. Up for grabs is this super sweet patchwork baby blanket:

The blanket measures 66cm x 77cm and features fabric from Saffron Craig's Fields range. It is backed with super-soft white flannel, so its the perfect light-weight blanket for spring/summer and its the perfect size for a pram (or just for tummy time on the floor). These will be selling for $45 in my madeit shop.

To be in the running to win, simply 'like' my Facebook page. For extra entries, suggest me to your friends, and get them to write on my wall who sent them :)
