Brrrrrrr, it's cold. It's freezing! Winter is here.
Caitlan stocks a beautiful selection of patterns as well as a carefully curated range of fabrics (which are currently 30% off - it's where I got the flannel for my latest Afternoon Shift - photos to come). I also have some of this beautiful stuff to make a Hunter Tank (whenever summer comes back...) and have my eye on this and this that would work beautifully for a summery pattern idea I currently have.
To enter, just leave a comment telling us which of Caitlan's patterns you'd be after if you won.
Wearing - unblogged Afternoon Shift
I've not been great about getting photos again this week, like I mentioned above though, I did finish another Afternoon Shift in the snuggliest flannel I've ever worn. I wore it the same afternoon I finished it, and then again the next day, and right now I'm writing this in the comfort of my handmade PJ's, but will more than likely pop it on again today, it feels like snow might be on the way....
I also wore my Anemery dress on Saturday (complete with long sleeve layers) for Oscar's birthday party. He turned one on Thursday and I just have no words to express how fast this year has gone and how much has changed.
I've been a bit slack with my knitting goal this month, it's just been too warm to want to knit. But with winter firmly in our neighbourhood, blowing a gail outside (but with a toasty roaring fire inside), it's definitely feeling like a knitting kind of day.

I would love the Victory Patterns Anouk pattern! So lovely, with enough detail to make it interesting no matter what the fabric. reganlf@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love the camas blouse it's beautiful!

Ooh Looks lovely! I have been pondering your Felicity dress or the Afternoon Blouse/dress. I really like it as a dress.... So, probably one of those two patterns....
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
Definitely the Afternoon blouse, I have been coveting it for a very long time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I'd try out the Natalie top pattern!
ReplyDeleteI'd loooove to try the Felicity Dress, it's been in my list for a while now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!!
Thank you for the giveaway! I would love to try the Cressida Skirt. nathaliesewsthings@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI really like your dress, it brings some colour into the winter!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway, I have loved the Aster blouse from the moment it came out, so I'd love to try my hand at that one.
The dress you're wearing is pretty cute. I must say though, that I have had an eye on Victory Patterns Nicola for a while now. Thanks for the give-away!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, thanks. I'd love the Felixity dress pattern! X
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to making my own Afternoon Shift dresses. I have the pattern and fabric, but have been too busy sewing for my daughter to make something for myself. I would choose the Hazel dress by Victory Patterns. Cute retro style! --Donna B.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've heard a lot of good things about that Robert Kaufman flannel and it really looks lovely in your photo. If I won the PDF pattern, I would probably choose the Camas blouse as it's just a little different to all the other t-shirt fabric patterns I have, plus I used to have a RTW top similar to it and I loved it. :-)
ReplyDeleteLoving the flannel - looking forward to seeing the photos from the Afternoon Shift! I also really love the Natalie top - such a flattering shape!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd choose the Roxanne pattern!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make a Goldstream Peacoat for my husband!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Afternoon shift/blouse pattern- so versatile and comfortable, yet dressy!
ReplyDeleteooo the Strathcona Henley would be a perfect introduction to menswear!
ReplyDeleteI would get the Morgan Boyfriend jeans pattern. I need to overcome my fear of pants eventually :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make the Lola pattern form Victory
ReplyDeleteHi! I'd really love the Afternoon Blouse & Shift Dress PDF Sewing Pattern.
ReplyDeleteVictory Ava!
ReplyDeleteI love the Newcastle Cardigan, but I have also been wanting a copy of the Bronte top for a long time!
ReplyDeleteI've seen so many beautiful Moneta dresses this month, in all my trawling through the MMM instagram and flickr feeds that I'm thinking I really need to try it for myself. So it would have to be the Colette Moneta pattern for me.
ReplyDeleteI've gone back and forth on the Cambie for so long, but ultimately I think I need it in my life! I think that's what I'd chose if I won. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the cressida skirt!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection, I would choose the Madelaine by Victory patterns - just love those pockets!
ReplyDeleteThestitchingmagpie@gmail.com
Either the Natalie or Finlayson.
ReplyDeleteOooh two patterns that have long been on my to-sew list are on there...the afternoon blouse and the Lola dress. It would be tricky to choose!
ReplyDeleteHm, Cressida skirt for myself or Goldstream peacoat for my hubby? I might be generous and sew for him for a change!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love to have the Fifi boudoir set pattern! I have been lusting after it for a while!
ReplyDeleteI'm on a skirt kick so I'd pick the Cressida skirt.
ReplyDeleteI'd choose the Afternoon Blouse/Dress as I've been coveting it for a long while now!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the afternoon blouse/shift 😊
ReplyDeleteSo many tempting patterns. I would love your afternoon blouse/shift dress but I've learnt this Me Made May that it's not dresses I lack but shirts and trousers and warm things (living in Brisbane). I think I would have to choose the Ninot Jacket to have a me-made thing for cold times to add to my wardrobe. www.sistersew.wordpress.com mail@emmascragg.com
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to finally try the Lola dress pattern!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the louisa dress for teens/women to sew for my girls!
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult to pick just one. My favourite is the Nicola due to it's gorgeous sleeves. I love the Felicity dress and your Bronte top too :)
ReplyDeleteLola by Victory Patterns - I've had my eye on it for a while!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Roxanne by Victory Patterns. It's on my to-sew list for long time...
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this giveaway and the Pinterest group!
I really like the Emery Dress pattern by Christine Haynes. I've heard good things about it and have seen some gorgeous versions!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the Afternoon Blouse, it has been on my wish list for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI fancy the Saltspring dress. Thanks for the giveaway.

I would like the Bronte knit top because I need more me-made tops to go with my array of me-made skirts! I also want my sewing endeavor for the next season to involve using only patterns from independent companies. I have not tried many so I'd love to kick it off with this one!
ReplyDeleteJamesashlee10@gmail.com
I'd love to try the Liola Patterns Natalie Top
ReplyDeleteaghorsley@gmail.com
I love your own dress/blouse but have realised wearing a different piece of clothing every day for May that I have lots of dresses and summery things but nothing for winter. The Ninot Jacket caught my eye and looked perfect for the odd, rare cold day in Brisbane with possible variations in light fabric for sun. Mail@emmascragg.com
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway - thanks. I'm another who would like the Afternoon Blouse and Shift Dress pattern. The dress is my perfect shape but I'm loving the Hazel dress as well.
ReplyDeleteI think I would choose the Camas blouse or the Jutland pants
ReplyDeleteIt would be a hard choice, so I'll pretend to be selfless and choose the Goldstream Peacoat to make for my husband :)
ReplyDeleteProbably Victory Nicola or Chloe, it's hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeletethanks for hosting this weeks giveaway.
I would like to win the Chloe pattern.
Thanks also to Caitlan.
Regards,
Muriel
What a great give-away!! thanks a lot for this oppurtunity!!
ReplyDeleteI would choose the roxanne from victory patterns, or the new one: hannah, but I don't think they have it already??
x<3
I would choose the Cressida skirt. I've been wanting to make it for awhile now! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance. I think I'd choose the victory Chloe dress
ReplyDeleteThe Madeline skirt would be my pick! Thanks for a nice giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am dreaming about Sorell Trousers. So classy!
ReplyDeleteI would love the Goldstream Peacoat to make for my lovely husband x
ReplyDeleteOh I think a Flannel dress sounds just divine!! I love the look of the Chloe dress! Would love to win :)
ReplyDeleteSo many tempting patterns. I really like the afternoon blouse/shift and have been quite inspired by the ones you have worn this May, however I think I would be selfless and get either the Jedidiah trousers or Strathcona Henley to make something for my hubby as I have been thinking about getting both of these, but usually opt to be selfish instead!
ReplyDeleteKatrina
I'd choose either the nicola or the simone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I don't think my first comment posted because I was having Internet issues, but if this is a duplicate just ignore it. I'd love the Camas blouse, or if she gets your Hunter tank in stock, I might pick that instead!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'd go for the Madeleine Skirt from Victory patterns :) I've wanted it for ages!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hazel dress, it's beautiful and would be great practice for sewing with silky fabrics.

I've been looking for a wrap around apron, so the Smock and Tie Apron pattern fits the bill if I'm lucky - thank you!

I have been sewing my own clothes since I was twelve and I can't believe it's only in the last year I discovered the online sewing community. I feel like I am so behind. So many patterns to catch up on. However, I have had my eye on the felicity dress for awhile and would love to get my hands on it. :)
ReplyDeleteRenee
I'd love the felicity dress. I know I need more separates but can't resist a dress pattern
ReplyDeleteIf I were lucky enough to win I'd love the Sparrow Top
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThe luna top by loila
Ooh! I like the Victory Anouk, but my lovely man deserves a Newcastle Cardigan. It's a puzzle. : ) Flannel is one of my top 3 favorite fabrics to sew and wear and yours is yummy!
