ReplyDeleteH.

Knitwitsowls@gmail.com
such a great giveaway and now so tempting looking at this site. but i think there are mainly two or three or more pattenrs i love the grainline moss skirt and linden sweatshirt but also the colette mabel.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I've had Tilly's Coco and Sewaholic's Gabriola on my wish list for a long time. I have a few McCall patterns on my list, too.
ReplyDeleteMy wish list may be getting a bit long...
Fab giveaway! I love indie sewing patterns, so I'd like to try the Colette Moneta dress, and I've been dying to give the Sewaholic Crescent skirt a go for ages!
ReplyDeleteI've also followed on Facebook, Twitter, G+ and Instagram :)
My email is sianhannahthomas@gmail.com. Thank you!
I've read so much about the Linden sweatshirt and the Lark from grainline, I would love to try them.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to decide. I've been admiring the François dress by tilly and the buttons. Also the atletic wear from sewaholic suits my lifestyle. Thanks. Reneevand at Gmail. Com
ReplyDeleteFab giveaway! Following sew essential in Instagram and Facebook. I want to try pretty much all of the Grainline patterns - particularly Moss, Linden and Alder shirtdress. Though I am pretty keen on trying the Morris blazer and maritime shorts too. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed.
ReplyDeleteElliepepperell@gmail.com
What a great giveaway! I've been eyeing the Wren dress pattern for a while now. Also, the Arielle skirt, and the Maritime shorts... It's very hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I have been dreaming of the cascade duffle for absolute ages. My email is hello at alliemjackson dot com (and I've followed them on twitter and facebook!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! I've had my eye on the Colette Crepe dress for a while, but £12.50 is too expensive for me!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking Coco thoughts for some time, also like the look of Wren, Alder and ... Ooh... So many to choose from!
ReplyDeleteanneehill7 (at) gmail (dot) com
I have Sewaholic Renfrew at the Top of my list!
ReplyDeletemiss_clarabelle @ hotmail.com
The Fraser is on my" want to acquire " list. Also Tilly's Agnes's top- want to try the dress hack and make some tops
ReplyDeleteAnnwatts25@gmail.com
I've never sewn any Tilly & The Buttons patterns and I've been wanting to make the Fifi pattern ever since it came out.
ReplyDeleteScout, Linden, Lark and Archer have been on my list for some time so it would be nice to have one or two.
ReplyDeleteI love the hawthorn dress pattern from Collette, been admiring it for ages, love a shirt dress.
ReplyDeletesurfjewels@hotmail.co.uk
I've been on a bit of a grainline bender of late, but I still need to add the moss mini to my stash, also butterick 6094 would be perfect for a wedding I have later this year. Bridgetannkelly@Gmail.com
ReplyDeleteYou have cheered up my Monday! I think I would choose Tilly patterns or graineline as I have yet to use them. I have also liked sew essential on fb
ReplyDeletecharlottepowellbrooks@gmail.com
Awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing the Sewaholic Cordova and McCall's 6696 for ages now. Also there are so many great patterns available, I'd really go to town with it, haha :)
fooniksblog@gmail.com
Lovely giveaway😊 I'm quite surprised by the size range they offer so will be sure to check them out thoroughly. In terms of patterns, I see several lingerie and sleepwear that tempt me (like Butterick Pattern 6031 or Burda 7186) 😊 I also have my eye on some of their vintage patterns like the Misses Vintage Blouse, Skirt and Bra Top Simplicity Pattern No. 1166 - too cute!
ReplyDeleteGah! I've been mooning over the Tilly and the Buttons Arielle skirt and Colette's Phoebe for a month now!
ReplyDeletecorra . jessica @ gmail . com
It would definitely be the Albion duffle coat and Morris blazer for me. I need a new coat (or two) in my wardbrobe.
ReplyDeleteLoads to choose from, but I've had my eye on the Colette Phoebe and Dahlia since they were released. Great giveaway, thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough choosing between so many goodies, but I'd have to go with the Alder shirt dress and maybe the Alder shirt, or Phoebe dress. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Bettine dress pattern but would like more Grainline too- I have made 3 scout t shirts - love that pattern
ReplyDeleteOops tnixsonuk@aol.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI've taken advantage of the McCalls sale:) I still have tried Tilly's Miette or Agnes so would pick one of those patterns
ReplyDeleteThe Cooper bag and the archer shirt are my favorites! My email is katzellner@gmail.com. I'm following Sew Essential on Facebook, Instagram, and Google+
ReplyDeleteI love anything by Colette but I'm really excited about Phoebe. My email is Louidort.lia@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe Colette Crepe and Tilly's Francoise!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing Simplicity 8053 and some of Simplicity's Cynthia Rowley patterns, mainly, but also Colette's Laurel. I've been wanting a good shift dress pattern and Laurel seems like a good choice - plain and with loads of room for variation.
ReplyDeleteMy email is reiligotbawls@gmail.com and I'm following on instagram too (aiplusyou). :D
I really like the "Arielle" skirt by Tilly and the Buttons. batresyohana@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOoh, top of my list are the Archer shirt and Linden sweatshirt by grain line. My email is lemieugre@hotmaicom and I am following on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
ReplyDeleteVogue 9084a colourblocked shift in silk or linen and the vogue men's coat as I've promised my son to try and make a Sherlock coat cawmags@tiscali.co.uk
ReplyDeleteWow this is a cool giveaway! I'd really like to try out Tilly's Fifi boudoir set and Colette Aster to expand my sewing skills with new techniques. I've followed Sew Essential on Facebook and Instagram. I really like when u post about online shops u use as sometimes u find a gem. Kimberlymaclean41014@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteFab giveaway! But you do realise £25 is nowhere near enough for all the patterns I want! ;-) Ok, I would probably choose Sewaholic's Pacific Leggings and the Colette Patterns Jasmine Top. But I have been lusting after the Tilly and the Buttons Mathilde Blouse ever since she made it on the Sewing Bee, so that might have to sneak into the order somehow as well! I am following on facebook and twitter. My email address is: megan.parkinson.uk at gmail.com
ReplyDeletei like simplicity 1124. Some many ways to wrap that dress.
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on Archer and Alder, but I also have a list of Big4 that I could make a dent in. It would be a fabulous quandary to have!
ReplyDeleteI would go for the Colette Beignet (I've been wanting to sew it for a couple of years) and the Tilly and the Buttons Bettine. My email address is thewardrobearchitect@gmail.com I'm also following on Facebook and Instagram
ReplyDeleteWould love the challenge of the Grainline Cascade duffel coat! julieblanchard1(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
ReplyDeleteI love the Butterick Pattern 5708 but I'm struggling to see how it would fit in my every day wardrobe. McCalls Pattern 6884 is probably much more practical. I've followed S.E. on Instagram and Twitter.
ReplyDeleteFollowing on Facebook and Instagram! I love the Tilly Francoise dress and have wanted to get it for ages...(well, it feels like that!)
ReplyDeleteOoh...Tilly's Francoise speaks to me. I'm also eyeing up the Pacific Leggings...oh, so many choices. I'm now following Sew Essential on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteacolourfulcanvas@telus.net
Ohhh - so much on my wishlist! The colette moneta dress is top at the moment, but also the grainine Morris blazer, and sewaholic cambie dress. Great giveaway! Becca@getsetsew.com
ReplyDeleteOh and following on instagram :)
ReplyDeleteRight now I feel like I would really want the Fifi set and the Sewaholic Pacific Leggings. And not just because you highlighted the patterns (I've been drooling over them for quite some time now). kadrikaur@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on instagram and facebook also :)
I have to be really boring in this one. I own some lovely Colette and Sewaholic patterns that haven't made it to the top of my list yet. Grainline and most of Tilly's are too small for me. I really want a couple of basics from McCalls, their pencil skirt and a-line skirt in 5 lengths are the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteNew pattern store, exciting and possibly a bit dangerous .D Tilly's Fifi and Sewaholic's Pendrell blouse are currently on the top of my wishlist. I started following Sew Essential on Instagram. e-mail is essi.prykari[@]gmail.com (without the parenthesis of course)
ReplyDeleteWoah! Do you ever get overwhelmed by the sheer choice?! I'd go for Gertie's Butterick 6285 (circle skirt and wrap top) and 5895 (capri's and tie waist shirt) or maybe Grainline's Scout or Linden. I need separates!!
ReplyDeleteI've followed Sew Essential of FB, Twitter and IG.
I'm at vickikatemakes(@)btinternet(dot)com
What a great giveaway! I think the Colette Myrtle and the Sewaholic Fraser would top my list.
ReplyDeleteEmail is becca_makin(@)hotmail(.)com and I follow on both IG and Facebook
Hmmm... Tilly and the Buttons Bettine, Grainline Moss, Sewaholic Renfrew!
ReplyDeleteHappy February! I have shirts on the brain so grainline's archer or butterick 5526 are high on the list. I follow on Instagram too!
ReplyDeleteI would pick the Scout T and Archer shirt by Grainline studios.

I love some of the sewaholic patterns - perhaps Gabrielle, as I've never quite been able to justify buying it but I love all the versions I've seen!
ReplyDeleterowena.woodhams (@) gmail.com
Amazing giveaway!!!! I adore Tilly & the buttons patterns. I'm new to sewing and the instructions are so clear!!! I would love the francoise pattern. I've been meaning to try a Sewaholic pattern so I would love to try the Renfrew top.

ReplyDeleteOoh what a prize! I might be tempted by the discount McCalls but more likely to go for a Tilly Agnes and a Colette Aster. My new-to-sewing daughter would also enjoy these, and maybe Fifi too!
