New Pattern Release and a Giveaway!

 Not too long ago (though it feels like forever) I wrote a post about sewing this apron from a 1930's Pictorial pattern. So many of you left comments asking me to make it into a digital reproduction that I simply couldn't refuse!


So after a very long time, and a lot of work, I have created my masterpiece. I have really come a long way in what I have learned to do with digital design. Each new pattern or booklet for Mrs. Depew Vintage just get's prettier and prettier and this one is no exception.


Depew # 1027 has all of the bells and whistles including a map to the pattern pieces and just about the prettiest instructions I have ever made.


 And to celebrate (this really took a lot of work and I'm so excited to be finished!) I'll be giving away one copy to one lucky winner!

To enter to win, comment which is your favorite pattern from my Craftsy shop.
For an added entry, you can do any of the following.  Just leave me  comment to let me know which you've done:

1. Become a follower of A Few Threads Loose on Twitter, Google, or Bloglovin'.

2. Like A Few Threads Loose on Facebook.

3. Like Mrs. Depew Vintage on Facebook.

4. Mention this giveaway on your blog or share it on Facebook.


This is a quick giveaway so I'll announce the winner this Tuesday the 6th.

Oh my, what an amazing apron pattern...please count me in for the giveaway! I'm afraid that I really can't choose a favourite pattern from your Folksy shop...there's too many that I love...lingerie, beach dresses, 1930s gowns...please don't make me choose!

I follow the blog and my favorite pattern, gosh there are so many and so hard to choose from, is the French Corset Garter Belt. I've been pining for this particular apron as I've told you numerous times! Thanks!

#1054 French 1930s nightgown is my favorite for the dramatic look, but I know I will buy the new apron pattern and make it. I cannot wait!

I already follow your posts on Feedly.

Jamie said... Best Blogger Tips

Yay!!! I love this apron!

My favorite pattern is, of course, this apron :) but my second favorite is #1121 - the 1930s French evening gown. Or at least that's my current favorite - there are so many lovely patterns to choose from!

I already like both your Facebook pages, and I'll keep liking them whether I win or not. :) Thanks for reproducing so many of these lovely patterns so that the rest of us can try them out!

I'm so impressed by anyone who can create patterns on a computer! I'm still restricted to hand drafting...though restricted isn't really the word I love it and still get a little thrill when a flat block is transformed into a flattering figure hugging fabric outfit :) I have just discovered your site and am in love with your beautiful designs.

I love the 40s French style berets! I love berets in general, so it was a difficult pick between that and your 30s beret. :)
