a winner & a loser

And the winner of the first upSewn Girl giveaway is...Selena VK!

The opportunity with Start Garden is really more than the money. It's connecting with the right people about the technology end, the branding part, and organizing(shocker) are not my strongest gifts. I'm a garment creator. That's what I love to do. This funding would rock, but if not I guess its back to this... :-)

To say "thank you" for your endorsements in Week 2, I am having a giveaway!!

One upSewn Girl fan will win a 

Daddy/Daughter Shirt Dress! 

I made this dress for E this spring. It was a short sleeved, button down linen shirt of her daddy's. I added a coordinating fabric and elastic to the waist & neck. I used vintage lace her great-grandma gave me to accent the pocket and bow on the middle top.

{the blog}

i am a creative thinker, scheduler and sewer.

i am so not a creative writer.

i wanted a place to share upSewn info, happenings, etc.

so, Welcome! 

happy you're here. :-)

sometimes i think "etc" is just used to take up space

 or used in case the person forgot something

or has something to add later

no real purpose

not this time! 

completely on purpose "etc" was used to mean "giveaway"!

yeah!

check back tonight for all the details...
