Sewaholic pattern and fabric giveaway

WeeklyGiveaway_August29
The kids are back in school this week and while I haven't been counting down the hours 'til the kids go back to school, I have to admit that I have a lot more time to think all of a sudden.  And when I have time to think, I often think about projects I'd like to make for myself that maybe I put on hold a couple of months ago when the kids were just getting out of school.  The weeks just following kids returning to school is always quite a busy time in the print room at Spoonflower, so I think this must be a pretty common scenario for a lot of you, too!

I've run across a beautiful line of women's clothing patterns recently that have jumped to the top of my sewing to-do list.  Sewaholic patterns are created by Vancouver based Tasia and billed as "sewing patterns for the modern seamstress," and I want to make almost every single one of them for myself now.  (It's not too late to make a bare shoulder sundress, right?)  You can ogle many pretty versions of all of Tasia's Sewaholic patterns in her Flickr pool.  Like this version of the Cambie dress.  Or this very pretty Alma blouse.  Love.

If you want to try your hand at a brand-new Sewaholic pattern, just enter this week's drawing!  We're giving away one Sewaholic pattern of your choosing plus 4 yards of any Spoonflower fabric to make it up in.  To enter, just leave your comment here or on the corresponding Facebook post, and let us know which of the Sewaholic patterns you'd like if you're our winner.  Please don't forget to include your Spoonflower screen name or some other means of tracking you down easily in case you win.  Entries close next Tuesday, 9/4 at 7pm EST and we'll announce a winner on 9/5.  Good luck, modern seamstresses!  This giveaway is now closed and we'll be announcing a winner shortly.

Last week, we gave away a copy of Lunch Bags! plus two types of interfacing, Insul-Fleece, and regular fusible fleece to aid in your lunch bag-making projects.  The winner was Lori Claflin in Massachusetts.  Congrats, Lori!

  1. This is so hard to choose, but I think if I had my pick it would be the Cambie Dress. I would have a field day picking out some spoonflower fabric to make it out of. I actually have a wedding to go to in early November that it could be worn to. Sign me up!!!!!

  4. The Cambie dress with the full gathered skirt would be my top choice! I love its modern-vintage style. Picking the Spoonflower fabric would take a lot longer! LOL

  5. I was so choose pattern 1203. I am always looking for a great pair of slacks to wear to work and with my “lack of bum” it is always best to make a good pair!! I have never used Sewaholic patterns before so it would be a sweet treat to try it!! :O)

  21. The 1201 Renfrew Top is my favorite, I believe. The variations in neckline and sleeve paired with the almost unending fabric choices make this super customizable. Customizable is just my style. (@travisina on Twitter and Spoonflower)

  35. I really like the Minoru Jacket, but just got a similar jacket for a Christmas present last year so I guess I would choose the Renfrew Top. You can never have too many tops and this one has so many options! With all the fabrics to choose from on Spoonflower, I could make a lot of tops with this one pattern and no one would ever know they all came from one pattern!!

  47. I’d love the Cambie dress patern! I’m so excited to discover these two fab websites, not sure we have anything like this in the UK!? I’m a newbie at sewing too so creative juices are flowing!

  58. I’m completely torn between the two dresses! Cambie and Lonsdale are *amazing* and I feel that since I live in SoCal, I can wear all the dresses all the time forever, right? Right.

  84. My Spoonflower ID is the same as my name here! I’d love 1101 Crescent Skirt, I’ve been wanting to wear more skirts, and I love that this pattern has some structure and POCKETS.

  87. Ooooh! Yummy yummy patterns!! I’ll go for the Lonsdale Dress.. And what am I going to do with 4 yards of Spoonflower fabric?
    Gosh. I’m going to start hoping and willing, right now!

  89. I LOVE Sewaholic patterns and will have to pick the Crescent Skirt as I have ALL her other patterns…I’m addicted! Would love to win 4 yards of fabric to make up one of her dresses though – the Cambie or the Lonsdale would look Fab! Darby1412 is my spoonflower name 😉 Thanks for the chance…

  113. I am a huge fan of Sewaholic, Tasia makes amazing patterns with perfect instructions! I fell in love with Cambie when it came it out, but have yet to get it. My Spoonflower name is “indylove”

  128. I adore the Renfrew cowl top, it would be so nice for when the nights start cooling down- maybe in a retro floral in autumnal colors. Thanks for introducing me to Sewaholic- such classy and fun patterns!

  146. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! I’d love to sew up the Cambie dress … and oh my my, the fabric choices on Spoonflower! {lisaekström on Spoonflower}

  154. This is a great contest and if I’d win I’d go for the Minoru pattern. We just had another 30CM of snow drop here and a jacket is the only thing on my mind at the moment! Too cold for summer dresses and shorts, although they are very nice indeed and be it another time of year my choice would be the Cambie dress or Alma blouse

  171. Oh, so hard to choose! I LOVE the Lonsdale dress, but have to go for the Cambie – I love sweetheart necklines and the shape is so flattering for a fuller figure. Perfect for the hot, humid weather over here in Penang, too… Choosing a Spoonflower print to make it from will take even longer!

  182. I’m torn between the jacket and the Renfrew top. Probably the Renfrew. I have been wanting to make myself some cute new tops and some Spoonflower knitted fabric would be an awesome thing to make them from. – evenspor

  188. I like the Alma blouse. The fact that it is so customizable is really a plus!
    Picking the pattern was easy…picking Spoonflower fabrics would be a lot more difficult. 🙂

  196. What a nice group of patterns. Would love to win any one of the designs. Have gone through 2 unexpected operations recently and am dropping weight quickly. New wardrobe time! Went it comes to Spoonflower material choice -what a picnic to choose from. Such fun! Hope I win!

  207. It’s quite hard to chose, those patterns have been tempting me for a while… I’d love to try the Cambie dress and Crescent skirt, and the Renfrew top if I decide to try knits. But I really like the look of the Cambie dress, so I guess I’ll choose this one. Thank you for the giveaway! My email: lholy_chan [[at]] yahoo [[dot]] fr
