It's a cloudy, rainy Thursday here in Chicago, but I can hear the cardinals singing outside my window, so all is well :)
Last week, I announced the give away of the brand new April/May issue of Sew News. If you have not thrown your name in for a chance to win 1 of the 3 magazines that I have to give away, be sure to go HERE and get your name in before midnight tonight.
The announcement of a new sew along wouldn't be complete without a chance to win a pattern, so here's your chance!
The Magic Bias Dress from Fashion In Harmony. Fabulous pattern.
but this is it! Just 3 pieces, and as I told you last week, what makes it magical is that the pattern pieces are all cut on the straight of grain. That's MAGIC!!! in my book. No trying to make sure that your pattern pieces are really on the bias grain.
Again, the dress I made for the magazine. Funny little note, my husband rarely visits his Facebook page. So I was rather shocked when he said that he saw the dress that I had posted, and then said, "I really like that dress." Believe me, that's quite a compliment coming from him :)
So here's the drill;
If you would like a chance to win The Magic Bias Dress pattern,
1. You must be a follower of this blog
2. Leave a message on this post and let me know how you follow the blog.
3. Leave a message by midnight Wednesday, March 31, 2016
I will announce the winner next Thursday, March 31, 2016.
Next Thursday I will also have a wonderful guest post from the designer of Fashion In Harmony Patterns, Julianne Bramson. I think you will really enjoy having the opportunity to get inside her mind and see how she thinks.
Until then...
Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteI receive emails in to follow your blog, but also follow you on Facebook too.
This really is an intriguing pattern; love that it has only three pieces. Would so love to win this pattern and see how it comes together. I always seem to work on projects that take me forever; this would be a lovely quick project which I think I would love to both make and wear!!
I love this dress especially the clever layout! I follow via Bloglovin.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog on Bloglovin. Thank you for showing the line drawing. When I saw the article in SewNews I kind of skipped it because the model was holding the hem and in the print couldn't see the lines of the dress. Will enjoy the sew-along.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks really like magic! I follow you also via Bloglovin and I get the new posts in my RSS feeds.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a divine fress, so very clever. Looking forward to the sew-along, what fun!I follow you by email and Bloglovin :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a Bloglovin followers!!! Thanks for the enter��
ReplyDeleteWow! Only three pieces?!?! That is magic! From the line drawings and "bias" in the title, it would seem to be much more complex. Looking forward to trying this out! I follow you via email ( bloglovin).
ReplyDeleteLove a three-piece pattern! I follow via Bloglovin. Thanks for the contest!
ReplyDeleteI get your posts in my email and enjoy seeing them. I would love to try this dress. It looks to be perfect for my son's outdoor, causal wedding late this coming summer. I've been trying to figure out what to wear and this looks like a good option.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Bloglovin'. This dress is amazing considering it only has 3 pieces.
ReplyDeleteThe cut of this dress is very interesting. I Currently do not own a dress (except a trapeze style dress made of troll fabric saved from the 1980's as it is funny) and this one looks very nice. I love that it can be made into a top also.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, I follow you (wonderful) blog via email. I love your positive and inspiring attitude and outfits.
ReplyDeleteHi, Rhonda. I've been following you via email for a few years now. Love this dress! Your postings are always such an inspiration!
