Hiya! The lovely Debi at My Happy Sewing Place is hosting her third annual Sew Grateful week this week, and I wanted to get in on the fun by offering a giveaway today. I’ve got three vintage sewing pamphlets to give away to a commenter. I picked these up at a FabMo distribution and they just make me smile, not to mention have lots of good info. Two are from 1960, from Singer: How to Make Zipper Closures, and How to Lay Out a Pattern and Cut.
The third is from the 1970s, “How to Sew a Knit.” It was produced by Trevira, which was a brand of polyester: “the many-splendored polyester,” or so the booklet says.
I will happily send these worldwide; please make sure your comment includes your email address or is linked to a way to contact you.
Sounds like fun reading! I’m in.
How interesting it would be to read and see what has changed over the past 40 – 50 years! Image what they will be doing with zippers in another 50 years time!!!

Lovely giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
Ohh, they are so cute! And given my terrible luck with zippers probably also useful!
Oh, what fabulous sounding leaflets! I’d love to go in the draw for them please. 🙂
I’m totally in. I need to get better at zippers. minaholliday at gmail dot com
Oooh, these look very informative! I would be happy to be entered. I am hosting a sew grateful giveaway on my blog as well, if you are interested. And am so delighted that I’ve found your blog as I am a new sewer and a long-time gardener, so I imagine we would have much to share and enjoy! Looking forward to it 🙂
Oh fun! I was just given a similar pamphlet on sewing for children. I wonder if it’s in the same series?
So cute pattern! I love this.
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! Cheers!!
Fun reading! Great idea for a giveaway!
I’m in! Thanks for the giveaway; these look fun!
If this is still open I’d love to enter! I’m still quite a novice sewer and need all the help I can get!
Hi there! Sorry if you’ve been so busy as I know we all get busy these days! Just wondering if you’ve announced the winners of your giveaway yet?
