Speechless

I am speechless, I still cannot quite believe it- but I am one of the winners of this years SWAP!! I am even allowed to display this nice little thingy:

Thank you sooo much!

Grand prize goes to the wonderful, all self drafted SWAP of Audrey. She has awesome clothes and used the Japanese Magazine Lady Boutique for drafting her patterns. AND, what I thought was particularly neat, she presented her garments with photos of her in everyday situations! "Guys, help me with the groceries" and asuch, showing off this years twist: the wardrobe has to represent a week in your life.

Second prize goes to Mary, who "finished with only moments to spare" - and has this beautiful, classic wardrobe. I love the colours and fabrics, the elegant and sleek lines. This wardrobe looks extremly versatile, and I would gladly take it, as it is really wearable. Alas- it wouldn't fit me...

I could say nice things about every single other SWAP but will leave it at that: I had a real hard time deciding whom to vote for. Even narrowing it down to a few was almost impossible. I didn't actually check but have the feeling that there were less entries this year than last, but the quality of the entries were throughout high. I feel good sewing alongside such a bunch of great sewers! The ladies of Stitcher's guild have a very high motivation factor... which is why I am in possesion of a great maternity wardrobe that really work out for me. I would have probably sewed a few items, but not the whole set. So, thank you everyone!!

Last but not least I want to thank the sponsors for giving out prices! Have a look at Gorgeous fabric, Hot patterns, Sew organized, Michael's fabrics and Fine fabrics. They are sooo generous!!
