I had one for a while called Buckingham Road (name came from the street my grandparents lived at). I would love to win the 1935 pattern and fabric. Can't wait to see your store up and running.

But it's 2011 now and I think the idea of chintz is charming~ it's certainly not cheap anymore! Nice logo too, very cute.<br /><br />My business name was something I worked out over several days. My name is Karrol and Kiki is a nickname, I am part German, but I wanted something Polynesian influenced to bring to mind pin up girls and Dorothy Lamour 1940's retro glamour. So Kiki von Tiki was born! <br /><br />Thanks for the lovely giveaway, if I won I would love that 30's pattern and fab blue fabric! kikivontiki(at)yahoo(dot)comKiki vonTikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534661181727479388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-33720011113325486832011-09-17T03:14:56.297+01:002011-09-17T03:14:56.297+01:00Would love to win this!

And the 30's pattern would be my pick - it's a bit ambitious because I'm still fairly new to the sewing game but I dont own a 30s pattern as yet so it would be great to have this :-)<br /><br /><br />My blog name is pretty simple and was born of the fact I like cats...and my name on a lot of sites is a variation of Kitty-something....So it was natural to come up with Kitty's Drawings...not very creative but oh well!Eszhttp://kittysdrawings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-33279969079380233362011-09-17T01:35:48.559+01:002011-09-17T01:35:48.559+01:00I am dying to own a 30's pattern but I've ...I am dying to own a 30's pattern but I've been too cheap to pull the plug. So I'd adore the 1935 pattern. I would hug it, love it, and call it George.<br /><br />The name of my blog just came to me. I don't feel as if I fit the stereotype of a soccer mom or someone who would be interested in vintage or even someone who sews.

I couldn't think of one--most of them were cheesy--and then he asked "Well, what's it going to be about?". Good question. <br /><br />It has created some pretty serious fights in my house as my roommate and I are both grammar nerds, and have differing opinions on the "oxford comma" in the name (the comma after 'patterns'). Fight!

My husband loves blue, and I've been on the search for patterns from the 30s, so it seems like the perfect combo. My blog name, Sew Well, came from a few Shakespeare lines, "And since you know you cannot see yourself, / so well as by reflection, I, your glass, / will modestly discover to yourself, / that of yourself which you yet know not of." I thought "sew well as by reflection" was an appropriate name for a sewing blog since blogging is an act of reflecting. Plus, it seemed inspirational for a sewing path. I do hope, over time, to discover something of myself that I yet know not of!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-44280287713898425092011-09-16T02:22:31.106+01:002011-09-16T02:22:31.106+01:00Great name and logo!

Sadly I don't have an intelligent blog or website title to share with you. My e-mail address does have a story behind it (albiet not witty or funny). My friend had the most beautiful cat named Tilly, who I so desperately wanted to kidnap (or is it catnap?) and bring home with me. My friend was greatly horrified by this idea so I said, "fine, if I can't have the cat, I'll have the e-mail address."
