This giveaway is sponsored by the wonderful Nicole Hughes, owner of Bombshell Shocked on Etsy. She's a Chicago-based vintage clothing stylist who I met at the vintage clothing show I attended earlier this month, where she sold me my amazing Mexican circle skirt. I'm really, really excited to announce this giveaway!
Now, what does the lucky winner get, you ask?
The winner will receive these three great vintage crafty items:
- 1946 Jack Frost Speed-Knit Sweaters booklet—Awesome vintage knitting patterns in some heavier weights. Particularly great for newer sweater knitters who don't want to have to commit to a fingering weight sweater, or those who just need a little speedy knit now and again (don't we all?).
- 1954 Simplicity Sewing Book and 1958 Vogue Sewing Book—Fantastic vintage sewing resources! I have later copies of each of these and they are some of the most helpful books in my arsenal, I have to say.
Here's a close up of the Jack Frost knitting booklet:
Aren't these sweater girls grand?
I adore the mom and daughter duo on the Simplicity Sewing Book cover...
Where else could you learn what colors you should wear by your eye color and hair color?
And the Vogue Sewing Book...
There are a few pages of amazing colored drawings inside! Can you believe these gorgeous gowns? I don't even wear gowns and I want one!
Now for the important part!
How to enter the giveaway:
- Be a follower of this blog, if you aren't already. (And a warm welcome to any new readers stopping by!)

To do so, head over to Bombshell Shocked on Etsy and check out Nicole's vintage goods, then come back and in your comment, tell me what your favorite item was (I'm personally loving the peasant blouse and skirt sewing pattern!)

oooh I love the Beach outfit pattern! I would love to sew something like that, sadly I don't have the figure!
ReplyDeleteYay! Nicole's shop is amazing! My favorite item at the moment is this 1950's Beach Outfit pattern http://www.etsy.com/listing/70245761/beach-wardrobe-1950s-vintage-bra-top
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! I have that Simplicity sewing book! It's brilliant actually. Covers so much. (I'm not entering the giveaway just wanted to say how fab that book is!)

Ooo ahh- it’s hard choosing which item I like best, but I do rather like the ruffled peplum dress pattern- alas it’s too big :(…
ReplyDeleteTups x
You have arrived! Your very own giveaway. And what a great bunch of swag too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the scalloped neck day dress pattern. http://www.etsy.com/listing/70450228/scalloped-vintage-1940s-day-dress-sewing I think I'm actually watching an auction for this same pattern (in a different size) right now.
Then gain, those rainbow heels are pretty awesome. If only I wore a size 7! http://www.etsy.com/listing/70368124/come-dancing-rainbow-gold-vintage-1930s
I may have to spend some more time on my lunch break looking at her stuff... I see some shopping in my future.
Love, love, love "COME DANCING Rainbow & Gold Vintage 1930s 1940s Heels Shoes 7 7.5" So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOK, 2nd try at posting...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this dress: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65143798/rockabilly-bad-girl-semi-sheer-black
... but those heels are super tempting, and that orange dress too! I can't decide which I like best!
