I've just closed off commenting on this post.

Unfortunately, the link from sewmamasew wasn't working for the majority of the past 3 days. Which means that a lot of people wouldn't have been able to enter, but it also means that the 90 odd that did have a better chance of winning - right! :)

So, I'm off to check out who won now...

Congratulations shellbells! Please email me with your address and I will post out your prize!!!

Thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway, there were 69 entries, way more than I ever anticipated. I am sorry I couldn't give you all a prize!

I used the random number generator from the violets are blue website. Makes it a whole lot easier to be random.

new fabric

Thanks to Jodz for the idea of getting fabric from the curtain section of Spotlight, I am now in possession of 4 great fabrics. They are going to make some great pyjama bottoms for both me and the girls. The cost was so VERY cheap ($2 a metre)! That makes making them myself affordable and worth the extra effort. I am thinking plain t shirts on the top, with perhaps something appliquéd or freezer paper stenciled for interest.

for mefor the Aimster (9 years old)

for Bree (8 years old)
for Hope (11 years old)

I am sure Jodee recognises the fabric I chose for Bree, as she used it when she decorated her 5 year old daughter's bedroom... ;) I just LOVE it!

Don't forget you have about 6 more hours to enter my 200th post giveaway as I am doing the draw tonight at around 8pm NZ time! So get to it if you want to win. You can enter as many times as you like - so if you want another chance, go for it!
