Blog tour and big giveaway for The Colette Sewing Handbook!

Jasmine is my favorite pattern = so classic and fun! (The free Sorbetto runs a 2nd for me with all the variations I’ve seen of it!)

I love Lady Grey. I wish I had enough skill to take it on – it is so very very very very pretty!

I love Lady Grey. It has taught me so many things, and I’d love to make a second version.

To swoosh: Lady Grey was my first ever commercial pattern, and I had only sewn a couple accessories and self-drafted skirt before that. I say go ahead and make one already ;)

I think my favourite is the Chantilly dress – so timeless!

My favourite pattern is crepe, wihtout any doubt ! Both feminine and confortable, can fit anybody, it’s a kind of magic trick.

What a lovely giveaway!

My favorite patterns (can I have 2 please?) are the Beignet skirt (so many ways to make this in an array of different colours and fabrics to match the chang ing seasons – I really need to finish off my muslin and make a tonne of these LOL!); and the oh so easy to make & very economical on fabric (1 yard/metre – yes please!) Sorbetto top :) !

This is so supertastic! I love your patterns and check your blog regularly for the sewing tips. My favourite is the Ceylon dress. Lots of possibilities there!

I adore the Ceylon dress, my red version is a staple in my wardrobe, I wear it at least once a week! It is definitely my favourite of your patterns, I am planning to make a whole selection of them in different colours and fabrics for different seasons :)

Ooh…nice! I’d have to say the pattern I lust after most is either Ceylon or Clover. I haven’t had time to make my Violet or Beignet yet, but obvs I love them!

WOW! the book AND 5 patterns? Very nice giveaway Sarai, thanks! My favourite pattern is definitely the Chantilly dress. I love it.

I already bought the book at Amazon… can’t wait for it to arrive! But I’d ***love*** to get the patterns. My favorite one is Lady Grey.

My favorite from the book is the Truffle dress, my favorite in the shop is probably the Lady Grey coat that I made last year, or the Beignet skirt I’m wearing today.

Thank you so much! I’m going to say Peony as I am currently choosing fabric options for that and am starting my toile this evening. I can already see that it’s going to be a highly adaptable pattern.

Wow, what a generous giveaway! I’ve already ordered my book (been counting down for a month for its arrival!), but would love LOVE to have the patterns! My favorite is Chantilly, but there are several others that I’ve yet to try as well.

Looking forward to the blog tour! Congrats again!

Wowee! Amazing giveaway! My favourite Colette pattern is the Parfait – I’ve already made two versions and have another planned! I would LOVE to win some other patterns though, especially the Lady Grey, the Oolong, the Beignet Skirt, the Ginger skirt and the Cinammon slip. It would be (almost) better than winning the lottery!

So exciting! My favourite pattern is the Rooibos and I’m most looking forward to making the truffle dress from the book :)

The book looks awesome, I put it on my Christmas-wishlist!
My favorite pattern is the Macaron-dress, I love the heart shaped bust-line

Greetings from Belgium!

I have a long term crush on the many lovely iterations of the Beignet skirt, got the biggest kick out of making Sorbettos this summer (very sad to have put those away for the winter), like the funky yet whimsicalness of the Macaroon, but coming back to the glum state of my newly unpacked winter clothes, have to conclude that this really needs to be the winter of the Beignet skirt!

What a great give away! The book is on my Santa list and if your patterns are anything to go by, I’m sure the book is stunning. My fave pattern to date is the Jasmine blouse, I’m planning my 3rd and all are completely different.

I think that Parfait must be my favorite. I’ve made 3 of them. But I’m dying to make some Clover pants. If it comes out how I imagine it will, then that pattern will be the best pattern ever made.

It is so hard to decide…the Lady Grey and the Crepe are the ones I’ve admired the longest. Thanks for the amazing giveaway! I’m looking forward to the blog tour.

My favourite Colette pattern is the Crepe dress. I haven’t made it yet, but I have big plans for it. Thanks for the great giveaway and have fun on the blog tour!

This Blog tour idea is the best thing since sliced bread! It really shows how much blogging is important to the sewing community AND it showers us sewing enthusiasts with amazing tips, tricks, interviews and, of course, giveaways! Good going Colette Patterns!

As for my top picks from Colette patterns, Peony, Jasmine and Violet really do it for me! They look like such flattering patterns and can be made in contemporary or more retro styles… Hope I win!

The Crepe dress is fabulous and I really like that it has pockets.

I love my Violet blouse, since I wear it all the time. I am planning on getting started on the Crepe dress next, if that turns out well, that’ll be my new favourite!

I love Chantilly and just picked up Negroni for both my son and my husband.

Oooh what a great giveaway! My favorite pattern right now is the Peony. Thanks so much!

I already have 8 of your patterns and a copy of your book is winging it’s way to me as we speak, so I don’t need to win the giveaway but wanted to add my voice to the chorus of fans. Love what you are doing and can’t wait for the next exciting installment! Good luck with the book – I hope you sell squillions :)

I really love the licorice dress from the book but I also love the crepe dress and sorbetto top as well. I have lots of favorites. Lol.

What an amazing giveaway!! I think my favourite pattern is the Ceylon dress, I have it in my stash but haven’t dared make it yet. Plus, I haven’t found the right fabric.
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway! :)

The clover would have to be my favorite. I love pants!

wow! you are going to be one busy lady!! all sounds great though and I can’t wait to read all about the book. Now, my favourite pattern?? how can I choose one?? my first colette pattern was the beignet skirt and that is a truely wonderful pattern – I have now made four versions and am about to pull it out again to make a denim one for winter……then I made sencha – again wonderful (three versions followed in quick succession). I have also made crepe (with a maternity adjustment), violet, ginger and the lovely lovely macaron (my favourite dress pattern) but for the overall favourite I am going to go for clover. I am still in the fitting stage of my toile but I just know that once I get the fit sorted they are going to be the ‘go to’ pattern for trousers. Good luck and ‘bon courage’ for the book tour!

I love the Peony pattern and your book looks absolutely fantastic. I would love to have a signed copy of your book!

My favorite pattern is the Negroni Men’s Shirt. Your clear instructions gave me the courage to try a pattern that has a lot of details not common to the patterns I make for myself or my girls. The clarity and thoroughness of your instructions is “hands down” the reason I purchased this in the first place as my first article of clothing for my husband.

Congrats on the book! I’m looking forward to reading/using it. I have Crepe, and can’t wait to use it! But I also love Jasmine…so pretty! I don’t think I can pick just one:) But it would be one of those two for sure. ~Ruth

I really love the style of Rooibos, I haven’t made it yet but I think it could be a great everyday dress in denim or khaki. Thanks for doing such an awesome give away and congrats on your new book, I hope you get to do more in the future!

I am loving my ceylon dress in a pretty blue floral print. It gives me a vintage, sexy silhouette and I feel great in it!

I am drooling over your new book! It is on my wish list and I cannot wait to get it, it looks amazing! I love the Rooibos, it is the only one I made so far. I followed the sew along and it turned out beautiful! There are so many more I want to try too:)

Even though I already ordered the book and signed copy would be heavenly. I just adore Meringue, although Sorbetto really does run a close second!!

I would LOVE to finally try out your patterns! I think my first choice would have to be lady grey. That pattern is so versatile. I would also love to try my hand at menswear with the negroni!

First of all, I love pretty much every single pattern, they are all gorgeous and so feminine. But since I have to choose, I am really digging the Macaron dress right now, can’t keep my eye off of it!

And hopefully this book finds its way to me this coming holiday season… :)
Thanks for such a great opportunity to win your awesome book and patterns!

My favourite pattern is no doubt Jasmine. It’s so perfectly simple and feminine, and the slightly lower neckline combined with a bow gives such a soft and dainty look.

I like your skirt pattern as well as your senta top pattern. Thank you for your website, I always learn from it.

Oo I love the Rooibos, and am planning about 5 versions for this winter

Hm… so hard to choose! I’ve been wanting to try Crepe for a while though, so I think I’ll have to go with that.

This is too fun ;) I love CEYLON!

Oh, so looking forward to the blog tour! Sounds very interesting!
I will shamefully admit I haven’t sewn any of patterns (yet) but I love your blouse patterns, all of them. The favorite would have to be Violet, I love the combination of classy and comfortable.

I’m in love with all your patterns, but if I have to chose, I’d say Ceylon because it was my first Colette dress and it’s so unique! I made it in red cotton with little white hearts.

Thank you for hosting the giveaway! I like Oolong the most!
