The Blue Gardenia
Sewing Spaces: Win Erica B.'s favorite go-to sewing book! September 11, 2010 09:13 24 Comments
To celebrate the success of the Sewing Spaces series, The Blue Gardenia is giving away The Complete Photo Guide to Sewing: 1100 Full-Color How-To Photos by the folks at Singer. Says the ever-so-beautiful and ever-so-talented Erica Bunker of the must-read blog Erica B.'s D.I.Y. Style: "It tells you everything you need to know to get started. I've been sewing for years, and I still refer to it." So there. I know Ms. B. would not steer us astray.
So. In order to have a chance at winning this superb book, you have to jump through a hoop or two or three. You must leave a comment on this post that shows you've been reading Sewing Spaces. A simple "I want to win!" or "Pick me! Pick me!" will not do. You cannot leave an anonymous post if you want to win. And your comment must be left by 12:01 a.m. PDT Thursday. Got it? Do I need to repeat the rules? Of course I don't. Because all my readers are smart Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies. Absolutely.
So. You'll love this book. I know it. It is one fabulous reference book. It is. Truly.
