The Japanese Sewing Books Birthday Giveaway

December 13, 2012


One year ago on this day,  I posted the very first post on japanesesewingbooks.com.

Over the past year I’ve made a few changes to the original blog template, added new blog features, and a few great giveaways! But I’m glad to say that I’ve stuck to my original intentions, of sharing the beauty of Japanese sewing and craft books with you. Keeping up with blogging is not easy, and there are times when I’m feeling lazy and just want to skip a couple of posts :P. But when you guys leave me messages or email me telling me how my blog has helped you in your sewing, or just to tell me you that you love my blog, that keeps me going.

I would also like to thank my sponsors who have supported me as well as all you readers who keep coming back to read my posts.

Next year will be an exciting year, with more free patterns and hopefully a regular schedule for video and step by step photo tutorials.
And now for the most important announcement!
To celebrate JapaneseSewingBooks.com’s first birthday, I will be doing the great mystery giveaway! The winner will receive a mystery package of goodies compiled by myself. Can’t say what exactly yet because I’ve yet to go shopping, but there should be a pattern, fabrics! and notions that you will need to complete the project.

To enter the giveaway,
1. I will be posting this on FB, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest. Share,retweet or re-pin the post.
2. Get an additional chance to win if you share this giveaway banner on your Blog.
3. Leave a comment (1 comment per person please) stating your nicknames on whichever social media network you are following us on and your blog URL (if you are posting on your blog)
4. I will pick the winner from the list of people who “shared”, “retweet” or “re-pinned” the posts.

Contest closes on 25th December 00:00 GMT  Check your corresponding using the time convertor
(which is 26th December 8am in Singapore and 7pm on 25th of December for Eastern Standard Time EST)

The winner will be announced on 27th December on the blog as well as the usual channels.

That’s it! Good luck everyone! and Merry Christmas!
