Oops! I missed my Birthday!!!

Sew Retro Rose is 2!!!!

Actually, my blog turned 2 back on the 2nd of August and I TOTALLY forgot about it... it dawned on me when I was driving home from work last Friday - oops!!!  And it got me thinking about my blog and its origins.  I didn't start this with any other aim than to make sewing a less lonely past-time.  The fact that people actually read my ramblings and are inspired by what I do just blows me away.  So to celebrate my second blogiversary, and to reward my loyal bloggy-friends, I'm having a giveaway.

Who wants a dress made out of this pattern?

Not the bolero, just the dress

Yep, the pattern I used to make this dress:


And I'm also underway making two more versions for myself... but more on them later!

And just to make it clear, the dress I am offering here for this giveaway will be custom made to your measurements in a cotton fabric using this pattern, and won't have the ribbon trim. I have no fabric in mind for this, and will purchase the fabric after discussions with the winner.  The giveaway is open to everyone, but I will ask that you pay for postage once the dress is finished.

So basically, you could own a custom made dress and all you need to pay is the price of postage from Australia to you.  Pretty fair deal!!!

Right about now you're probably wondering how you can enter.  I'm not going to do anything complicated, cause I just can't be bothered!  All you need to do is comment on this post!!!  If you want to say something lovely about me that would be really nice, but Stella will be picking the winner, and she very fair when it comes to these things...

Oh, and one entry per person.

The giveaway will be open for 7 days and the winner will be announced next Wednesday (Australian time - so thats Tuesday for all you people on the other side of the world).

PS.  You know how I love to reply to all your comments... well I'm going to refrain from doing that this time UNLESS you ask me a specific question about the giveaway or the dress.  Hope thats okay with everyone!

UPDATE: The Giveaway is now closed - thank you for your entries!!!  Winner will be announced on Thursday the 12th of September (Australian time).
