Never lucky enough to win competitions so thought I would use your code to buy a discounted copy but sadly the code doesn't work with the link. Has anyone else tried? Have seen the US version of this book and glad there is now a UK version to buy!
ReplyDeleteHello Ali, the publisher has now activated the code so the link should work now... Sorry about that, and let me know if you have any further problems. All the best, Alice
ReplyDeleteI found the review of this book very useful - might just be what's needed to encourage my daughter to sew more.
ReplyDeleteOooh fab! count me in please...off to find you on FB n Twitter!!

I love it when you try something out so we get to see a pattern 'in action'!
ReplyDeleteHi there. :-) The code still doesn't work. Price is £13+ and there's a p&p charge too.
ReplyDeleteHello All, sorry people have been having trouble with code. It is working, but once entering it into the promotional code box at checkout you have to click 'update' so that it takes effect... hope it works for you this time! All the best, Alice
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great book, please include me in the giveaway. Just found you recently. Love the fact that you can search projects by difficulty (given that I'm not all that experienced - yet!)
ReplyDeleteI'm following on twitter too @missielizzieb
I found your review of the Oliver&S Birthday Party Dress the most helpful as I've just started making outfits for my little niece. I have had lots of experience sewing for myself and other adults but sewing something so little boggles my mind! Thanks for linking to Helen of Angharad Handmade. Will check out her things on Etsy! Please enter me into your giveaway. I've just added your blog, Twitter (@KatherineChu) and FB. Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteAnother fan of your embroidery alphabet and I have lots of ideas that shall be use it for (@knotjustjigs) am following you on twitter and a fan on FB have also RT ;)
ReplyDeleteI've only just found you through Twitter and I'm glad I have! Like Ali, I've looked at the US version and am so happy this is out now! Off to follow you on Twitter :)
ReplyDeleteHi, fb/twitter follower too - will comment there also.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the blog. I love the pattern reviews - patterns are so expensive it's good to be able to see how others have managed! I'd love to win this book as it would be a perfect excuse to buy 101 metres of fabric ;)
