Thanks to Chronicle Books, I have another giveaway.
What is this giveaway? The cutest vintage note cards and notebooks, which by the way would be perfect for gift giving.
Here are the
Vintage McCall's Patterns notecards
The description
Crafty correspondents and gift givers will delight in these all-occasion notecards that celebrate an iconic era of fashion. Four unique designs showcase authentic patterns from the McCall's archive, while custom envelopes resembling deconstructed pattern pieces lend playful, DIY flair.
Isn't that just the most fun? Want to see the set?
No worries, I took a picture of a set
See the bottom right? That is the envelope - a pattern piece. Oh, I just love these and won't you or your sewing friends? All of your sewing friends. We should buy these and start writing our sewing friends, the vintage way, with a stamp.
Now that isn't all of the vintage goodness from Chronicle Books, they have
Here is the description:
Batched with twine like a stack of sewing patterns, these three notebooks feature the original McCall's packaging of the 1960s and 1970s, with cute-as-a-button graphics and slogans. Blank and lined interior pages are sepia-toned and adorned with sewing motifs, inviting journalers to record project details or everyday musings.

I put one in my purse to write sewing supply lists and patterns I need to purchase.
The good news..... I have 2 sets to give away. Two lucky people will get a set of notecards and a set of notebooks each.
To enter, leave a comment of who you would write with these cute notecards or what type of sketches or lists you would do the in the notebooks. Or leave a comment if you are going to purchase these cute Vintage McCall's Notebooks and Notecards for a gift.
I will draw on Saturday, October 25th.
I would probably frame the notecards and hang them in my new sewing room. They would look great with the other vintage items I have acquired.
ReplyDeleteI would have to carry these with me to show all my sewing friends.
ReplyDeleteI would gift some to my sister- to remind us of all the sewing we did with our mom as kids. These are just too cute not to share!
ReplyDeleteI really like Vicky's idea of using the notecards for sewing room decor! But I would save one to give to my sewing buddy who valiantly accompanies me on fabric searches and to classes. The notebooks are perfect for journals, I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteI would send real life messages to my real life sewing blog friends! And use the notebooks to make lists of sewing supplies I need! What a great idea and giveaway! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy current sewing journal is nearly full; meaning a new one is needed. These would be so timely and so cute to boot!
ReplyDeleteI would write down sewing goals and words of encouragement towards reaching those goals in the notecards for my sewing buddies and myself. After I reach that particular goal I would frame the card and display it in my sewing room. In the notebooks I would write sewing hopes and dreams for the future and concrete steps on how to achieve those dreams.
ReplyDeleteOh Lori theses are so fun. I would drop my friend Carolyn a note as I send her payment socks. The notebooks - one in my bags for lists, one on my sewing table for notes, and maybe one for a friend. It's my birthday week - RNG pick me! g
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! These remind me of the patterns I used when I was learning to sew in the mid 70's. I would use these to correspond with friends of the same age reminding them where we started. The notebooks would be great for making sewing notes.

What an awesome giveaway! I'm a list maker and would definitely use to track pattern numbers that I see made up on blogs and need to hunt down for myself...not to mention the quilt ideas that I get from blogs. I would share the notecards with some of my crafty friends. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI would celebrate some of my "vintage" friendships with notes of cheer and endearment. Thanks for such a clever sewing giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI will write my Aunt Ada (82) and Aunt Fern (96). My mom passed last year and these are two of her sisters. These are really cute. Pick me. Judy from Kansas
ReplyDeleteI would use the notebook on my desk at school. I am always saying I wish I could find ways to bring my hobbies to work! My students would really think I am nuts! I would use the note cards to write Birthday Fairy notes to add to the gifts I make for my husband's female family members. They would love the vintage notes.
ReplyDeleteI keep my sewing lists on my iPhone, but I love to send cards and would send one to my best sewing buddy, Karen. She LOVES vintage patterns!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori !!!! Great giveaway . I would be delighted to win both but I would probably use the notebook more .
ReplyDeleteThanks again !!!
How cute are these! I'd use the notebook to keep track of my sewing goals and projects, and the cards would be used as notes on gifts for my sewing friends. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would use as a gift for my sister. Hope this doesn't show up twice, my iPad just died in between and had to plug in. Lol. Too much Bloglovin!
ReplyDeleteI like to visit fashion exhibits so I would use them to sketch designs I see as well as thank you notes for my sewing friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway--I *love* the envelopes that look like pattern pieces! I'd use the notecards when sending thank yous to my sewing friends and the notebook for writing out my lists of things I want to sew.
ReplyDeleteI would send one to one of my sewing students I haven't seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteI love these; the 70s fashion is right up my alley. I pinned these awhile ago to Pinterest . . . I would use the cards to write thank you notes, hoping to inspire others to sew! I would use the notebooks for my sewing wish lists, notes and such.
ReplyDeleteSo stinkin' cute! I actually sell vintage patterns on Etsy (sewbettyanddot--shameless promotion, sorry!), and I'd love these...just because!
ReplyDeleteI'd actually use the notebook to keep a list of all of the patterns I'm looking for for my own use/collection. Thanks so much!
