Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!
Happy happy joy joy -- it's giveaway day on Sew, Mama, Sew! There are so many fantastic blogs and giveaways that I have no idea how I will get any work done today!
In honor of worthwhile distractions, I am giving away one copy of the latest Stitch with Style magazine and three quarter yard cuts from the Kaffe Fassett Wovens collection by Westminster Fabrics from the fabrics I used to make the High-Low Chevron Skirt (in this issue!).
To enter, please leave one comment telling me what era is your favorite for retro style. I think I would have been happiest in the 1920's as a performer in a Wild West show. I dig those long split skirts, satin western blouses and gigantic brim hats!
One winner will be chosen on May 10th, 2013 at 5pm PST. The winner will be contacted by email, so please make sure to leave your name and email address in your comment if you are 'no reply' or anonymous. The winner will be chosen using Random.org.
I will ship internationally. Good luck! Thank you for stopping by!

WAY retro. I love the medieval style (like Renn Fest)!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to live in the goldrush days of the mid 1850s with large skirts swishing around me!
ReplyDeleteI love 1950s and 1960s items to sew. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love Kaffe Fasset's latest collection for Westminster Fabric. I also knit, and was pleased to see his work in print design after seeing so much of his knitwear work. Thanks for the giveaway!

mmmm, flapper dresses, lol! Those fabrics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe late 50's/early 60's! Straight skirts, skinny, pointy heels, and lacquered hair!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with medieval, too :)
ReplyDeleteIn theory I like the 30s but I guess I wear more 50s/60s in practice. And oh to have the figure where I could wear 20s bias styles.... Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love the 60s
ReplyDeleteearly 1900's. Definitely long skirts...Downton Abbey style...even though I am certainly not built for them..lol
ReplyDeleteI love the 1950s style -- mid-calf skirts and short curled hair. So cute.
ReplyDeleteOoh thank you for the giveaway! I think the 1950s suits me, I love the cars and the fashion from then!
ReplyDeleteLuxe hippie-chic for me: tunics, maxi skirts, exotic prints, velvet. Is that old enough to be Vintage? (uh oh, that means I am, too!)
ReplyDeleteI love the 50s. So vintage , floral and sexy
ReplyDeletei love the 50's! I love the dresses worn!

Oh, Michelle, I think the Oregon Trail people amaze me the most ~~ not exactly an era.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating.

ReplyDeleteI love 20th century styles from the the 1910's to the 1990's. I would go to the 1930's first and time travel from there.

Thank you for this chance to win !
ReplyDeleteI like to sew for my kids, I already made a "robe à la Française" for my girl, for carnival.
But for myself, I prefer 50's period for everyday, because it's the one that suits me. I have to prefer periodes where women had breast and hips, I can't put on dresses from period like Napoleonian dresses or 1920 dresses.
I think I would have been very happy as a flapper girl doing the Charlston but I do love the '50s!!Thanks for a fab giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI love the elegance of the 40s. Thanks for the chance!

the 50s. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletewow I think I would like western too.
ReplyDeleteI agree the 20s.
ReplyDeleteFour household style, I like retro 50s--Mid-Century Modern. As far as clothing, I like the Edwardian period. Very late 1800s-early 19teens but I could never get my waist as teeny as my great grandmother's wedding dress was.
ReplyDeleteI love the 60's! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI love the Leave It To Beaver Days!
ReplyDelete1930s - I would love to have a flour or sugar sack dress to wear

ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
20s-50s! But 50s suit my curvy figure the best :)

ReplyDeleteI would say 1980's. Thanks for chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm a 1940s retro girl. Even made myself a dress from that time period last winter and did my hair up in victory rolls for a photo shoot. So classy and elegant a time period.
ReplyDeleteI love the styles of the Elizabethan era but glad I don't have to dress like that every day!

ReplyDeleteMaybe 40's? I think high waists and simple floral dresses are a good look for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the 50s!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the 50's for me. I may be slightly deluded but i think my mushy middle would have been considered curvaceous then!
ReplyDeleteI love a lot of the 70's style as I was born in the 70's!
ReplyDeletedetroitgirl77 AT gmail DOT com
I would have made a great flapper!
ReplyDeleteThat magazine looks just terrific!! My favourite era is the 20s/30s and also the 70s. There are actually some similarities between alot of the fashions from these eras believe it or not. Fingers crossed, I'd love to have a look at that magazine.
ReplyDeleteI like the dresses of the Jane Austen era. Actually, I like the smocks that go over the dresses.
ReplyDeleteFor me it's the 1940's-50's for me. Such a classic look
ReplyDeleteI like 40's and 50's. That magazine looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteJust loving the glamourus style in the 20ies but I have to much curves for that style so I rather chose the 40ies enhancing all the curves of a female body ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway .. I dont know which era it belongs to but I love bell bottoms:)
ReplyDelete60's Flower Power for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
I love the 70s, straight hair, bell bottoms and big flowers. (Of course I didn't love it when I lived it, all of that itchy polyester, but I can be nostalgic about it anyway!)
ReplyDeleteI love the 1920's flapper style! Oh so gangsta jazzy!
ReplyDeleteI do love the 20s. The men wore such great suits.

ReplyDeletea agree on the 1920's or the 1970's for me. I love the 'free' feeling of the 70's. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like the Edwardian era. I love all the detail and layers. I don't know if I would like wearing them though. I love your skirt and hope I win this. I don't like downloading patterns but think I would kind of like to make this for myself. Is the pattern in this issue?
ReplyDeleteI think regency era for me - empire waists are my fav :)
ReplyDelete50's circle skirts, and rockabilly dresses are part of my current wardrobe, as well as 20's style hats. So I'm really a mix of the two.

The 50's.
ReplyDeletethis is something I would have to stitch in secret as my daughters would want it. And having made 4 complete Elizabethan noble woman's outfits, I guess I would have to say Elizabethan.
ReplyDelete70's!
ReplyDeleteThe 1950's - love those dresses.
ReplyDeleteI love the late 50s early 60s retro style. Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI love the mod styles of the 60s! Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI really love the 50s!
ReplyDeleteI am, however, gaining a real appreciation for the 30s and 40s.
thanks for the giveaway!
I think the 30's and 40's styles were the best. Very feminine. Thanks! wonderlandbyalyce at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the 30's with the bias-cut gowns. I should have been a torch singer.
ReplyDeleteLove the Kaffes but I also love the vintage feedsacks so that time period to sew with anticipation of buying a new feedsack print is unique.
ReplyDeleteWell, I lived through them but I think they are retro now - the 60's. thank you
ReplyDeleteI love the 20s.
ReplyDeletetau(underscore)be(at)yahoo(dot)com
I think the 30's or 40's FLAPPER style or ganster style.
