Just over 8 months ago when I started this l blog I never thought I people would actually read it. Little did I know! I started it as a central place to post my creations to share with friends & family… in the last 8 months it has just taken off. This summer the traffic went from about 3,000 hits a month to 12,000!!! I am just in awe.
To celebrate this awesome mile stone I wanted to reward my blog readers with give away! What am I giving away you ask? The VERY FIRST copy of my new Ebook/Pattern for my Twirly Half Apron that I posted a sew and show of here.
After the winner has been announced I will be posting the Ebook in my Etsy store & it should be available with-in a few weeks at You Can Make This.

Congratulations!! I am one of those that discovered your site this summer. Love to see so much interest in sewing. I’m a young grandmother, so one of the first I discovered were the pettiskirts on your darling girls. Since I have 3 granddaughters under 6, 2 nieces under 6, and 2 greatgranddaughters under 3, I absolutely LOVED this and will be making lots. Got some great tullle net at a garage sale for $1 for a whole bolt!!!
Will be making the twirly apron for all my Christmas Cookie Bakers. 3-4 adults and 2-3 kids.
Also, love the idea of the sewing stash challenge. I have a LOT of fabric and can do this!
Would love to see something on how to sew for kids who you can’t measure. The last thing I made for my granddaughter was a dress which was a little short, and I haven’t been able to get her measurements yet. Maybe some kind of guide as to RTW sizes and pattern sizes?
Great work…and THANKS!

I love the projects and patterns but only adult patterns, I don’t have kids so kid stuff is wasted on me. 🙂

I just want to say congrats and that the apron is so pretty (looks like a skirt almost!) and I’m jealous since I can’t sew (so you don’t need to enter me into the contest) 🙂

I love the gymboree reduced price clothes story. I don’t like to pay ful price, and always have coupons. I am just like you. I- just posted there as well by mistake. Congratulations on you 50,000 hits.

Charlotte
I really like looking at your sewing projects! I am not all that great at sewing, but I would love to have one of these aprons.
Rachel
I love it here! I think you do a great job!

I really like your apron patterns because of the length and the flowiness (is that a word?) of them. I love that they are so feminine. Also, I love the tie at the top. I am a big fan of long wrap around ties. Thanks for the chance. This is lovely. I am in the market for a new apron so this would be perfect. 🙂

Congratulations on your achievements! I love the swing of the apron and the fabric is terrific.

I’m a pretty regular lurker – and a relatively new seamstress, so like when you do tutes or give advice. I also like apron patterns & adult clothing patterns. Either way, keep up the great work – all those hits are not by accident!

Hi Kymy, love the site, what you do with your time is absoutly amazing! I love the fabric on this apron. I have it on my list to make aprons as presents this year for CHristmas. I’ve never tried a half apron but it looks so stylish, I just might have to! I would love to see stuff to make for boys! Keep up the amazing work!!

This is an amazing apron. I Love that you are willing to step outside the box and use more hip and trendy colors for your aprons. This helps with those of us mother that aren’t.. traditional.!
I love this apron and would love to wear it when I’m grilling, who said women can’t grill and look sexy?
