And the 202 Giveaway winner is...

Well, it's that time. Time to pick the winner of the 202 Followers celebration giveaway. As usual, thanks so much to everyone who entered, and I loved all of your comments for what type of sew-along you all wanted to try. There was a resounding call for a lingerie sew-along and I'm getting ready to put that together soon.
But enough about that, the winner chosen by random.org is commenter #16, Jadestar.

Congrats Jadestar, you've won two vintage sewing patterns and a $35 gift card to my etsy shop Mrs. Depew Vintage! Just email me at afewthreadsloose@gmail.com with your mailing address and I'll get your patterns and gift card to you!

As to the lingerie sew along so many of you asked for, we had a huge selection of patterns to chose from on the Compendium of Lingerie Patterns post. An overwhelming number of you were in favor of sewing the Pauline Bra and Tap Panties Set, and several of you also wanted the Pauline Slip/ Cami.

So we'll do all of them! This is a gorgeous set and I've been looking forward to making them up again for some time.
 As I mentioned in an earlier post, since winter is coming (especially here in Norway) and since lingerie is intimidating enough to most without adding slippery, difficult fabrics to the mix, I recommend making your first attempt at this pattern in a soft, supple cotton flannel. I know, flannel undies sound so granny nightgown:

but when you look at something like this:

Flannel can be sexy. I just bought a few yards of lovely two- sided plaid flannel from fabric.com.

I think it's going to look amazing with a little black lace or contrasting fabric thrown into the mix.

We'll start next week with the bra first, and then the tap panties. Then we'll take a break while I'm in the U.S. for two weeks (hopefully buying fabric) and we'll resume with the cami/ slip when I get back.

I'll get more into how much fabric you'll want to buy in my next post, but if you want to get it early, plan on about 1/2 yard of fabric for the bra, (plus your contrasting band fabric choice) and about 1 1/4 yd for the tap panties. My fabric should be here any day now so I'm going to see how the plaid looks with a lace overlay, and just by itself, and that will help me decide how many versions of this I'm making, and with or without lace.

Starting soon, I'll be putting the Pauline patterns at a reduced price for anyone who wants to try them for the sew along, so if you want to wait till the price goes down to get your pattern, I'll let you all know when I get it lowered.

I'll be back soon with more about the sew-along! Have a happy weekend!

And we have a winner!

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway! The lucky winner is Alice of Alice's Closet whose comment # was chosen by a random number generator:

She has a super cute sewing blog that you might like to check out.
Congrats, Alice, and thanks for reading A Few Threads Loose! Just leave a comment here on this post with the pattern you want, and how I can email it to you, or email me at afewthreadsloose@gmail.com.
The prize? Alice get's to choose any one pdf pattern from my etsy shop that she likes.
I have some super cute pdf patterns on there, but by far, my favorite is the beach bra pattern.

Either that or the flight cap pattern which is my other best seller. I think it's because my husband was gracious enough to model it for me.

Lord, but he's good looking!

And the winner is...

Well, I would say that my very first giveaway could be deemed a success. I loved reading all of your comments, and some of you even pointed out item's in Erika's Shop that I hadn't seen (and immediately started wanting.
There was some gorgeous vintage polka dot fabric that sold before I could get my hot little hands on it, but I still have my eye on the adorable Women's pajama pattern from the 1940s:

But enough about what I want. I know what you want. You want to know who won the lovely prize package offered by the very generous Erik with a K:

And the winner is... Sara E.K.! Congratulations, Sara! Your comment was number 60, chosen by the random number generator:

Thanks to all of you who entered! I've found that I like hosting giveaways as much as I like shopping and sewing put together, so there will be many more to come.
A special thanks to Erika for offering such a great prize package, and for being such a snazzy vintage girl.
