Unfortunately . . .

. . . due to some technical difficulties, the giveaway post will not be up today (as I'm sure you may have already guessed). Bree and I are both very sorry, but we feel it would be better to let you know rather than simply leave you hanging until we can get the November - December giveaway post up and ready to post.

Be looking for the winner of the 1910 Tea Gown ePattern (and the next giveaway) in the next few days or so.

The Giveaway Is Closed!

As of now, the October - November giveaway is officially closed and we will accept no new entries. 

Thank you so much to everyone who entered! The winner will be announced on October 14th, as well as the November - December giveaway.
