Blog Crawl Day 7... Sweetly Made (Just For U)

Welcome to Sweetly Made (Just For U)! Thank you so much for visiting my shop. I have been knitting since 2005 which doesn't seem like a long time, but, I am now addicted to the creative art. My grandmother taught me so I could carry on the tradition of Christmas stockings. I also have a blog so check it out and leave me a comment.

Sweetly Made (Just For U) is the perfect place to find custom knitted Baby Beanies, headbands, women’s hats, PDF knitting patterns and personalized Christmas stockings. Any item can be customized or changed to make it perfect for you, your little one or your family! If you see something you like but prefer different color combinations let me know - I love custom requests!

Giveaway:

I will be giving away a $20 gift card to my Etsy shop. That means that you could buy two of my knitted headbands or two PDF knitting patterns or one women’s hat. If the amount exceeds $20, the winner will need to pay the difference through Pay Pal. Also, shipping is free.

***CHRISTMAS STOCKING NOTICE***
I am booked till June 2011. The spots fill up fast! If you are interested in purchasing a personalized Christmas stocking for 2011, please let me know. I hope that I can sweetly make a traditional Christmas stocking just for you. Thank you!

Blog Crawl Day 3 Sew Determined

Born with an overactive imagination and a passion for sewing, I have always enjoyed creating pretty and feminine items. I started sewing when I was around 10, out of desperation to fix my favorite bean bag doll that had been vigorously loved. I have been hooked ever since.

So what inspires me? Ruffles, polka dots and vintage fashion. I am addicted to beautiful fabrics and colorful ribbon. I can never leave a pattern how it is. I must always change something. It’s just how I am. It is so fun and challenging to make it my own.

I started my sewing blog, Sew Determined, just a few months ago as a New Year’s challenge to myself to really step up my sewing skills. I also wanted to encourage other time crunched gals like me to take up the art and see how much fun creating can be.

One of my other goals I set was
to make a complete wardrobe for myself by the end of the year. While on this quest, I decided ‘‘Why not share some of these fun outfits with others?’’ That’s how Call Me Cordelia on Etsy was started. There is something so amazing to wear something that was made just for you by a real person you ‘‘kinda’’ know and not some faceless person in a factory. I just love that about Etsy. It’s a place where super talented people come together and sell amazing things.

I am so excited to be participating in this blog crawl giveaway! I am happy to announce that I will be giving away from my Call Me Little Cordelia collection, a fuchsia pink, super fluffy tutu! This tutu is sewn, not tied, with yards upon yards of fluffy pink tulle. The waist band is a cute pink and green grosgrain ribbon with 1’’ wide elastic encased within for a no-itch waist. Playtime should be fun, not itchy and uncomfortable. This tutu has a waistband that measures 20 inches with a stretch up to 24’’ and is 14" in length. Good luck and I hope you win!

So how do you enter this fabulous giveaway? Glad you asked. To enter the Sew Determined child’s tutu giveaway you simply need to:

1. ‘‘Like’’ Sew Determined on Facebook
2. ‘‘Follow’’ me on my blog Sew Determined
3. Leave a comment on my blog.
4. Go to my Etsy shop Call Me Cordelia and heart your favorite item!

Doing all four of these things will enter your name 4 times for a chance to win the super-duper cute tutu skirt!
