Yay! I'm a Winner

For the first time, in a looong time I won something ... I was so shocked and surprised to receive an email from Amy at Sew Well informing that I had won her holiday give away competition! What did I win? I won some truly awesome (and extremely useful) sewing rulers from SA Curve. Claire at SA Curve who also writes a blog, check it out here, also emailed me to let me know and get my contact details to post my prize. 

I am so appreciative of this gift - it will be put to good use in the very near future when I draft a new block for tailored shirts for my significant other (Mr SS). I'll be using my Pattern Cutting Level 1 instructional video presented by Don Clark to help with this - if you never heard of Don Clark I strongly suggest checking him out here, he's a great teacher!



I received the rulers in the post yesterday.





It felt like Christmas all over again!


So exciting opening the box and unwrapping my prize!


And look it really was like Christmas - I even received a Season's Greeting card from Claire at SA Curve LLC with a lovely message and offer to replace the rulers if the were damaged in transit - how nice!?!


This little tool is going to get such a workout! Today even! I'm about to start making myself some new blouses for work and I plan on changing up the pattern a little for each one - I tell ya, the timing of this awesome gift is just perfect!


Tah-Dah! Here they are, in all there sew-a-licious glory, I still need to remove the backing tape from the rulers but its a bit like peeling off the last protective layer on your new phone, once done it wont't be new anymore! 


Well folks - I'm off to sew!
