...Paula! She's won the most recent Forties Pattern Giveaway here at Wasp Waists and Wiggle Skirts. Paula, please email me with your address and I'll pop the pattern in the Post to you.
Thanks so much to everyone who entered! I'll be doing another Pattern Giveaway very soon, but in the meantime here's an adorable Forties hat pattern for all of you. If you start now, this should be all blocked and finished by the time warmer weather hits!
Happy Crocheting!

Just in time for...
...Valentine's Day!!!
I was getting ready to list this pattern in the shop, but I thought that having a giveaway was a much better idea (oodles of patterns to be listed in the shop over the next few days so keep a look-out!)
This negligee has a loose, flowing back and a belt that slips through side slits and ties around the fitted front. A perfect example of a gorgeous 1940's design.
As always, leave a comment below to be entered for this giveaway. If you link back to this giveaway on your blog, I'll enter you twice! (Just be sure to leave me a comment letting me know.)
The draw will take place on January 24th.
Good luck!

ps This pattern is over 70 years old and has therefore had it's share of wear and tear. All the pieces are complete (I checked) but the envelope is in rough shape. Also, please note that this pattern is a punched (or perforated) pattern, not a printed pattern.

We apologize for the (unfortunately very long) unscheduled break in our regularly scheduled blogging.
2010 was one heck of a year! I won't bore you with the gory details, but I'm sure glad that now that it's all over and done with I can brush off the dust from my dress, powder my nose, smooth down the stray locks of hair and get back to business! Hello 2011, boy am I thrilled to make your acquaintance!
I'll be revamping and relaunching the stores in the coming weeks and I hope to be back on a regular blogging schedule again with Thrifty Tuesdays, Friday Freebies and even more Giveaways making appearances.
My goal of having a thrifty/handmade year wasn't nearly as successful as planned, although I'm planning on giving it another try. I'll be sure to keep you up to date on all the hits and misses. It's not nearly as simple as I thought it would be!
On a completely unrelated note, the beastie seems to be a fan of vintage too.
I wish all of you a very wonderful New Year. May it be full of surprises, (only the good ones of course) beauty and happiness.
She's seriously considering making a tutu for the dog...promise not to laugh? Hee hee
