Do you know, something I have always wanted to do is make my own clothes. My mum’s next door neighbour is so talented and has made all of her daughter’s dresses, including her wedding dress! How cool would it be to be able to make your own, knowing it would fit you perfectly and be in the exact pattern you want?
Simplicity have released a great book filled with all the techniques and tricks to help you kick start a new hobby or add to your skills. Perfect if you are anything like me and have a basic knowledge of sewing but want to do more with it!
More and more people are taking up this hobby and so I have partnered up with Simplicity to offer you a fantastic prize of their book along with 5 fab sewing patterns. One of the patterns is this one.. how cool does it look?
I love the vintage look so I would definitely want to give it a try (or I might just ask my mum’s neighbour haha!!)
If you would like to be in with a chance of winning this great prize then enter the Gleam widget below. Good luck!

Yes! I make screen-accurate costumes from TV, Film, Video Games etc. (often from scratch!) and wear them to conventions all over the world. :D

I can sew a little bit and would like more time to practise so I can get better at it. I would love to make some of my own clothes.

I'm an aspiring sewer. I've made an apron and a few cushion covers, but skirts and t-shirts I've tried have always gone wrong!

I've only really made a cushion and a carrier bag holder, but this was many moons ago. I've recently been gifted a sewing machine, so looking forward to getting some projects on the go x

I love sewing, when I was a teenager I spent about 6 years stitching an huge embroidered siamese cat! Random I know :) when I took it to university with me once it was framed, my housemates all called it 'Scary Cat' because they said it was creepy!!
