I'm sorry things were quieter than normal last week. The holidays did something to me and I found it really hard to get back into our normal routine last week!
My sewing machine worked overtime before Christmas, getting out as many gifts as it could. I think I had a bit of sewing burn out and until this past weekend I hadn't turned it on in days. I think I have the sewing itch back though! :)
I have a fun giveaway for you guys today, aimed at those of you that need a sewing project for the new year!
I'd like to introduce you to a new pattern shop on Etsy, I Heart To Sew. Alisha is the shop's owner, and she brings you her patterns all the way from Melbourne, Australia. I think she must be enjoying summer right now, the polar opposite from what I am experiencing here! :)
Alisha currently has three patterns in her shop with others to be released soon.
For the most part, I sew clothing, but isn't this little T-Rex adorable? This would be such a cute shower gift or just to make as a lovey for your little person.
This is Alisha's Summer T Shirt Pattern. It may be called the Summer T Shirt, but has options for long sleeves and would be perfect for winter too (for those of you in the middle of it like me). What makes this T shirt pattern different than your standard shirt pattern, it does not have sleeves to sew in. Aside from the band pieces, the short sleeve shirt is only two pieces. Nice and roomy and a perfect pattern if you are new to knit fabrics, or just new to sewing in general.
Lastly we have The Little Day Out Dress. This dress is really unlike any other PDF pattern I've seen out there. This dress is a very classic style for any little girl, but what makes it different is that the piece on the front makes up front pockets! Very unique (no back zipper if you're scared of those)!
All of Alisha's patterns are computer drawn, come with step by step instructions including photos, and her clothing patterns come in sizes 1-6.
For the giveaway!
Head on over and check out I Heart To Sew on Etsy and show Alisha some love. Come back and leave me the name of the pattern you love most.
4 winners will each win the pattern of their choice!
Please leave a way for me to contact you if you win
Giveaway closes Friday January 14th 7pm PST
One comment per person please!
If you like what you see you can also check out I Heart To Sew on their facebook page (Alisha has some previews of a really cute adorable dress pattern coming soon), and their blog.
I have not had a chance to sew any of Alisha's patterns as of yet but plan to review one in future. :)









I would love to have the summer t-shirt pattern to be able to whip out some quick t-shirts for my girls! Thanks for the chance to win!
