Cheeky giveaway – Winner!

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway for Jiffy 1356 and Simplicity 2404, two patterns kindly sent to me by Simplicity in honour of the vintage Simplicity 8203 pattern which was used to make the dress worn in this famous photograph:

‘Tennis Girl’ wearing Simplicity 8203

The original dress and racquet were sold at auction on Saturday 5th July 2014 for a whopping £15,500!  Unbelievable!

Anyway, to pick a winner for each pattern, I allocated each entrant a number and used a random number generator to pick for each pattern.

So, the winner of my giveaway for Jiffy 1356 is Simona!

And the winner of Simplicity 2404 is Stitched Up Sam!

Congratulations to both of you! Sam – please email me your address to thread.carefully@yahoo.com.  Simona – I already have your postal address!

Will you both be making a plain white, mini version of the dress do you think, to recreate the tennis girl look?!  I think I probably already know the answer to that question 😉

Thanks again to Simplicity and to Conker Communications for providing the patterns.
