I love you all so much...want some free patterns?

Hello all. To my U.S. readers, happy fourth of July! I'm really excited today to see that A Few Threads Loose has gotten up to 400 followers through Google! I never thought when I set out to chronicle my sewing adventures that I would meet so many great people and find so much encouragement and support. You're all awesome!

To say thank you, how about we have a giveaway?


I usually offer one of my newest patterns as the giveaway prize, but since this isn't about me, the winners will get to choose any 2 digital patterns from Mrs. Depew Vintage.

Winners, you say? Yes my dears, there will be two of you. To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment on this post with which two patterns you would like to win.

For extra entries you can do the usual stuff like mentioning the giveaway on your blog or facebook, following on facebook, bloglovin' or other if you don't yet, etc. Just be sure to leave me a comment for the extra entry.

I'll announce the winners this Saturday the 7th.
Good luck and thank you so much for reading my blog!

We're not the ones who are awesome - you're the one having to come up with all the content. We just consume! :)

Happy day of followers to you!I do love all of your patterns......but the french slip and french sundress are on the top of my list!!!!
Thanks for all that you share....

Jill said... Best Blogger Tips

I agonized over the choices! I think I'd have to go with # 169 and # 1121.

Brandy said... Best Blogger Tips

Congrats on the followers, I know that I love your blog and all of your patterns. I am still going slowly at this sewing stuff, but am definately going to be getting quite a few more of your patterns.
On the top of my list would be
http://www.etsy.com/listing/89526181/vintage-sewing-pattern-ladies-1950s
(a 50's halter top) because my closet is in much need of more tops and
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80314406/vintage-sewing-pattern-bathing-beauties
(the 40s bathing suits) because who doesn't need that bathing suit. I love the marylin style one too, but I think more people are doing that one and this one has a bit more coverage.

Great giveaway! Since I still need more tops, I'd love the button-front halter top #1006, and the ruffle tap pants #166 are so cute.

I'm another one who would like the Beach Bustier and the Halter top... this heat has definitely got me looking for summer clothes ;)

Matilda said... Best Blogger Tips

I have so many of those patterns on my wishlist right now, but if I had to choose two I'd go with the 50's bathing suit and the French sun dress <3

Congratulations on achieving such a following! Nice to know that there are many fellow stitchers out there. And happy Fourth of July.

What a grand giveaway! As I am currently exploring my ability to make home-made undergarments, I'd love the teddy-camiknickers and the one/two-piece bathing suit.

While I have yet to try one of your patterns, I can't wait to start! I do love the 1930s Evening Gown (would be perfect for the Navy Seabee Ball in March and plenty of time to put it together) and the One Piece Bathing Suit. Thank you for a terrific giveaway and for your terrific blog!!!

Congrats on a well done blog! I have been following you from the beginning. My choices would be the 1920's flapper dress #3001 and the 1940's French Ladies Jacket Draft. I have never sewn from a draft before so I think that could be quite an adventure!

The french teddy camiknickers and the french slip. I adored the patterns I bought before.

Bonney said... Best Blogger Tips

I actually have a folder in my bookmarks dedicated to the patterns I want to buy from you! Hmm... Top two are probably
Vintage Sewing Pattern Ladies 1950's Dress Butterick 3364 32 Bust
or
Vintage Sewing Pattern 1940's Ladies Bra and Bandeau Printable PDF Depew 2005

Anonymous said... Best Blogger Tips

I love your patterns! I had such great luck with the Pauline Bra and Tap pants ( which I made up in peach dupioni and vintage lace), that I am aching to try the Lone-Line Bra and the French Pin-up Bra. It is so nice to be able to make your own "vintage" lingerie that you can throw in the wash without fear! catgalvin @ yahoo. com

Megan said... Best Blogger Tips

I would love to win the 1930s bell sleeve blouse (#1126) and the 50s inspired 1 piece bathing suit (#1001). It's such a hard decision though :) Thanks for the giveaway!

Anonymous said... Best Blogger Tips
