Over the last couple of months I've been wading very slowly through all of my books in order to determine what to keep, what to sell, and what to give away. As you've probably guessed I have a lot of craft books and booklets. And I do mean A LOT. As for the craft books, I'm only keeping those that I use or am absolutely certain that I will use some day. Which leads me to this month's giveaway:
I'm giving away one copy of Take up Dressmaking, a simple little book designed to teach the newbie how to sew. However, the projects in this book can be used by more advanced sewists as well. It was originally published in London in 1994 (this edition hails from 1999), so it contains both metric and American measurement equivalents. It has directions and pattern layouts for eleven easy projects. For example, you can make a pair of retro 80s leggings, a Chanel-style jacket, and a slip or camisole:
To enter this giveaway, just follow my blog with Google Friend Connect and leave a comment below. If you are already following Serendipity Handmade, then please follow the Serendipity Vintage fan page on FaceBook or SerendipityVint on Twitter, and leave a comment below. If you are already doing all three -- thank you! -- just tell me so and leave a comment below! International entries are welcome, as always.
Update: Sorry I wasn't clear about this earlier -- there is a maximum of one entry per person so the giveaway will be fair to those who are already following. There are no multiple entries, so please just leave one comment as your entry. However feel free to follow anywhere you wish!
I'll use the random number generator on Random.org to draw the winner, and the winner will be announced on Saturday, November 28th! Good luck!
