Anyway, I'm currently on an unfamiliar computer and blogging is a bit weird when you have no way to upload photos. So what can I do? Well, I though just to have a bit of extra fun, I would have a giveaway!
Since the only thing I have access to for the next 2 weeks is my portable hard-drive (full of the gold mine that is Mrs. Depew Digital) I'll go with that. How about winning your choice of any two digital patterns or ebooks? It's not a box full of kittens, but it'll do, wont it?
To enter the giveaway you can do one or all of the following, just leave a comment for each entry to get your name in the proverbial hat.
1. Tell me which Mrs. Depew Vintage Pattern is your favorite. You can find them all here.
2. Become a follower of A Few Threads Loose on Twitter, Google, or Bloglovin'.
3. Like A Few Threads Loose on Facebook.
4. Like Mrs. Depew Vintage on Facebook.
5. Mention this giveaway on your blog.
I'll announce the winner this Saturday the 26th.
Good luck!

Welcome to Virginia! I always feel kind of funny saying that since I am not a native Virginian myself LOL
OK, which pattern... the 1950's halter top blouse I believe. Or maybe the beach bra.
Following you on Twitter.
I hope you have a wonderful trip! That is so exciting. Virginia is not that far away from Philadelphia (where I live). Definitely enter me into this giveaway. I would love to win the Beach Bustier 1950's Style Halter Top pattern.
Out of your patterns that I don't own I would love to have the 1940's beach shorts!
I'm torn between the corset garter belt you just did the sew along to and 1121 evening gown (truly gorgeous dress!)as favorite pattern
Oh! and I follow you via google
I love your1920's Flapper Easy One Piece Dress but to tell you the truth I like any of the lingerie patterns as well! Thanks!

I love the ladies french sundress. Even more considering 100 degree days are right around the corner for us here in No. California

Does going to the US (vast as it is) feel like coming home to you? I've always wondered how that is for people who, while not forced, didn't really choose their expatriation or their country. Returning to Sweden has always felt kind of "over and done with" for me, even when I was living in Scotland and just planning to be there for four years (now I'm in France, presumably for life). It's nice to see familiar faces, but hearing Swedish everywhere and being familiar with places and procedures isn't as much a comfort as other people seem to think it must be.
As for favourites, your e-patterns already seem to be taking up half of my Etsy favourites. :) But, the one I'm most intrigued to try next (since I have a lot of lingerie sewing ahead of me) is the "Bias Pantie".
And I'm already following you on Google.
...and I was already a follower of this blog on Facebook.
...and now that I realised you have a Facebook page for your patterns, I follow that too. Geeze, I'm starting to look needy (and if there wasn't a giveaway right now: a stalker). :)
mmm that's an interesting giveaway! my favorite at the moment would be the 1930s tap pants, I'm into tap pants at the moment :)
and I was already following you on twitter, and bloglovin, I've added Google connect
and I had a look at your facebook page :)
I also wanted to ask you a question about the lingerie ebook on etsy, but etsy seems to be down at the moment so I will try later..

I love all the lingerie but my favourite has to be the 30s evening dress with the little cape, Depew 1125. It's just so Myra Loy!
Love this giveaway! I already have a few of your patterns, but I would love to try the 1950's Ladies French Sunsuit Dress (Depew 3005). Hard to choose just one!

OMG, to choose a fave is way too hard..lol..but if I had to....I'd say the 30's pj pattern..which would be dreamy sewn-up as beach pajamas for my upcoming vacay. :)

I love the 30's pajamas pattern, and I've been eyeing the underwear and lingerie ebook for a few weeks now.

Depew 1121! Oh, I'm already a follower. Does that count?
and I posted the giveaway on my blog. :)
I love all of your patterns and you have been on such a roll lately with all of the 30s stuff. I really need to get my act together and get sewing.
My favorite pattern of the moment is the 1940s shorts. I think I could stand to have several pairs of those lovelies in my wardrobe (though I love so many of the other patterns too!)

Welcome back to Virginia! Hope you're having good weather; it's been a bit rainy and overcast here in southeastern VA the past few days. :p Mind if I enter the giveaway? I think my favorite right now is the 40s one or two piece bathing suit. I just love the two piece version! So cute!
It's so hard to pick a favorite! But if you're really gonna make me I'm going with the girls jacket and skirt set. And all the hats -all of them!

Which patterns don't I want? I love them all. I think 3005 would be a great summer dress. Do you know if the skirt would potion would work with a border print fabric?
I love the "Vintage Sewing Book 1930's Underwear and Lingerie Ebook Parts 1 and 2 Huge How To", the "Make Do and Mend" book, or "Vintage Sewing Pattern Ladies Bias Pantie PDF Printable Copy 32" and 34" Waist Depew 2004". All perfect for WWII reenacting. Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway!

Hey, I just looked at the pattern and it looks like border fabric would work with a tiny bit of adjustment. You would also need maybe 1/2 yard more fabric to accommodate that.
My Aunty Margaret was a very 'proper' and 'straight laced' lady. Imagine my amusement when I heard her refer to French knickers as 'easy feels'! It was many years ago and a conversation I overheard.
