Sew, Mama, Sew - December Giveaway Day!


Hello long-time readers and welcome newcomers from Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day! For those who haven't visited Badskirt before, you've landed on a sewing, quilting and travel blog. It's a bit quirky, a bit retro and a bit funny at times. Here you'll find sewing and quilting tutorials, product reviews, fabric photos and travel stories. I also sell patterns on Craftsy and write for patchwork magazines.


I've been a long-time reader of Sew, Mama, Sew and remember participating in their early giveaway days a few years ago, so I'm excited to be participating again.

Keeping it simple, I will choose seven winners randomly from the comments. Each winner will get their choice of PDF pattern from my Craftsy shop including the Woven Slashes cushion and the Ahoy There! pouch - both are easy makes for last minute Christmas gifts!

The drawing will stay open until 10am Tuesday, 16 December, Melbourne Australia time.  One entry person. Please be sure that you are a reply blogger or leave your email address in the comments, so I can contact you. International entries are welcome!  To enter please leave a comment about a tutorial or Badskirt Craftsy pattern that makes you smile.
