Custom made giveaway just for you, you, or you!

Giveaway now closed....thanks for entering :)



A few months ago I had my own little giveaway where I would make the winner something custom made. I love this because I'm personally giving/making you guys something from me and only me. My own sweat, blood and tears...okay, I'm going a little to far saying that, but I think you get it :) Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my readers. You guys are the best! Seriously, so sweet and talented. I want to make you something to tell you all that.

So with out any further ado...

I will make a custom made piece of clothing for the winner! 
You can pick ALMOST anything that I have sewn in the past or send me something you want me to refashion for you...you decide! Keep in mind that the fabric may be different, but you can choose what kind of fabric you like.


Here are just a few examples of something I've made or refashioned in the past:
