aPearantly Sew… It’s a Giveaway!

April 7, 2011 by Elaine

Part of the reason I really like going to blog conferences is because you never know who you’re going to meet that you didn’t even know existed out here in the “internets”before. It’s inevitable because there are just SO many blogs out there.

AND…

You might just sit next to a cute and lovely lady at breakfast one morning that you’ve never met before, who not only blogs but also sews some REALLY beautiful things. That’s what happened to me when I met Alison at Blissdom back in January.

And of course once she handed me her business card and I saw the name of her blog and shop – aPearantly Sew, I was all, “I love you” because well, I’m a sucker for a play on words, if you couldn’t tell from my own title.

Sew…. (he he)

…after professing my love for her awesome choice in a name, we had a nice chat in the few minutes we sat together, and she definitely left an impression.  And then I came home, checked out her shop and saw the cuteness that is her talent.

One of each please!!

I was in awe when she told me she just started sewing last June and then started her shop mostly to fund her love of fabrics!  There ARE so many lovely ones these days.  But she also told me that sewing is a wonderful creative outlet for her and that she’s always amazed at the finished product, created with her own two hands.

I’m amazed too.

And I KNOW you all are!

Fortunately Alison is kind enough to offer one of the lovely readers here a $20 credit to her shop*!!  Please go visit aPearanlty Sew and tell me what you like and and/or what else you could suggest for her to make.

Come back and leave a comment and you are entered to win!  

And, please tweet about this giveaway for an extra entry, just let me know in a separate comment! (and follow Alison on twitter at @AliLittle28 )

Giveaway ends the evening of Monday, April 11th.

Please make sure I have a way to get in touch with you should you win.

ALSO! You can get a 15% discount if you just wanna go ahead and buy something from aPearantly Sew!  Use the code Spring15! 🙂

Good Luck!

*Credit goes toward only current styles of items in shop but Alison is willing to work with winner on fabric
