Winner of Sewn With Love by Fiona Bell

Thank you for all of your comments entering the Sewn With Love giveaway!  I enjoyed reading about all of the different garments that you remember from your childhood. 

One of my all-time favorite childhood garments was a verrrry 1980’s shorts jumpsuit that my mother made for me.  The fabric was white with all kinds of colorful swooshes and scribbles and such.  I thought I was sooo cool, especially when I wore it with my Jellies shoes (which pinched my toes horribly, but I wore them anyway).

But enough about me and my jumpsuit.  You want to know who won the book, don’t you?  It’s lucky commenter 16, Bethany, who wrote:

I had a shirt with a shopping theme. There was a picture of a girl holding a clear plastic shopping bag. Sandwiched inside the plastic were little plastic clothing items. I loved it.

Bethany, I’ve sent you an email so I can get your contact information and get your book in the mail to you.
