The winners are as follows:

  • Bundle #1 –  Amy ” After being away from my sewing machine for a number of years,I recently reintroduced myself to my friend….my sewing machine. The humming of my friend is a song that helps me escape the stresses of my work day. I love sewing outfits that I wear to the office. It gives me much pleasure recieving compliments and knowing I couldn’t have done it without my friend, my sewing machine.”   Amy never replied to the emails that we sent her, so we chose another winner.

    I would love to win the first set of patters. I love to sew dresses for myself and my daughter. I need lots of tweaks on the patterns, she doesn’t. Ah, such is life. Beautiful blog, love the way it is written and illustrated. Thank you.

  2. Jan Blankenship says

    I really love to sew dresses as they are the most challenging for my level. They provide me constantly new learning opportunities to build my skills!

  3. Laura says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:48 pm

    Dresses! Definitely dresses!

  4. Marissa Culp says

    I love whipping up dresses that make me feel feminie and flirty. The best dress I ever made was very similar to the first pattern in the collection – 8096 – which I made when I was in high school. (I’m 55 now!) I’ve missed that dress and now I can look forward to sewing it (and wearing it!) again!

  5. Emily says

    I love to sew tops, knit and woven, since I get the most out of them but also shirts since they require some serious attention to detail.

  6. Melanie says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:39 pm

    Costumes, skirts, and tops.

  7. Ann says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:38 pm

    I love sewing dresses. Love to try the patterns.

  8. Terry Anne Smiley says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:36 pm

    Simplicity patterns are my favorite – I have found they fit me with less alterations needed than with the other major pattern company’s patterns. I’d love to win the fall/winter collection! My favorite thing to sew is fancy dresses for my 3 yr old granddaughter. 🙂

  9. Rachel says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:30 pm

    I love sewing knit tops and simple skirts. I could really do with pushing myself out of my comfort zone a bit!

  10. Rikke Klaaby says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:29 pm

    Dresses… I love my closet full of dresses of every kind.

  11. Sue says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:15 pm

    My favourite garment will be the first that I complete AND fits!
    I have come back to sewing after many years of quilting and my shape is very different now. I am using the tutorials on the CSC site and learning that the most important attribute for me is to be honest about my inches!!
    I am really looking forward to sewing dresses, blouses, jeans and a duffle coat. Nothing like being ambitious.
    I should like to be entered for the first pack, please, and a huge thank you for this opportunity to increase my pattern stash. ?

  12. Patricia says

    My favorite garment to sew is pants. Comfy, elasticized pants. I’d like to be placed in the giveaway for the second pattern pack. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  13. Ruby says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:06 pm

    Dresses I can twirl around in. Some things you just don’t outgrow.

  14. TanyaC says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:04 pm

    My favorite thing to sew is dresses for my girls! They’ve outgrown all the “cute/frilly” little girls patterns, and both wear womens sizes now, but I still love sewing for them.

  15. Laura says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:04 pm

    Thanks for the great giveaway, I just love making an evening dress 🙂

  16. Rachel says

    October 29, 2016 at 1:00 pm

    Dresses! I wear lots of dresses for work, so always need more, and I get to make them in weird and wacky fabric if I want 🙂

  17. Becky M says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:54 pm

    I love to sew dress but turn my hand to most garments.

  18. Lisa F says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:54 pm

    I like sewing tops – still tweaking patterns to perfect the fit – but with a little more practice – fingers crossed, the perfect fitting top may be a real possibility in my future – yeah!!

  19. Kirsty says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:52 pm

    I would like to be entered for the 2nd pack please. I like sewing knit tops best, quick to sew with no tricky fitting issues!

  20. Kim says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:51 pm

    My favourite garment to sew…… Tops, preferably button down shirts?

  21. eowynsword says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:50 pm

    Vintage- and historically-inspired clothes, especially dresses.

  22. Pam says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:49 pm

    Dresses and shirts!!!!

  23. Virginia Holley says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:49 pm

    dresses, skirts and tights

  24. Mary K. says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:48 pm

    Dresses, dresses, and more dresses! With the right style and fabric, every woman can dress beautifully.

  25. SusanIrene says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:47 pm

    I’m interested in the Second Pak. My current favorite sewing projects are home items for my daughters-in-love and things for my grandchildren.

  26. Joan Kuntz says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:46 pm

    Hoodies, fleece wear

  27. Deb Riddle says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:42 pm

    I like to make skirts. Recently, I have been making cute baby dresses for my great niece.

  28. EB says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:40 pm

    I would love the first pack. I love being able to see workout pants with pockets. Also, dresses. I want so many!

  29. Bonnie gard says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:38 pm

    I love sewing tops and skirts. Thanks so much

  30. Jacque Guffey says

    Perfect T-shirts

  31. Barbara says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:30 pm

    All of the patterns look interesting! Thank you for the giveaway. I love to sew for my daughter, mom and sometimes me. For me, I am working on better self-fitting.

  32. AJW says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:19 pm

    I love sheath dresses.

  33. Sarimekko says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:14 pm

    I love to make thick warm winter coats, but a person only needs so many, so I also like to make a variety of other clothing for myself. I make lots of skirts, but they’re pretty ho-hum after a while, so I challenge myself with any pattern requiring a skill I don’t have. I’d love the second pattern pack.

  34. Jeannie says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:13 pm

    knit tops 🙂 comfy and fast

  35. Debra Howard says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:11 pm

    Dresses and tops are my favorite items to sew.

  36. Rena says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:11 pm

    I love to sew activewear!

  37. Annie says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:11 pm

    Knit tops so far. I might have a new favorite when I sew more but I wear these all the time and they’re so comfortable.

  38. catmask says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:06 pm

    i like sewing t-shirts. fast, easy, and heavily used.

  39. Ailsa Boyd says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:01 pm

    Slinky pencil skirts!
    Pack 1

  40. Cati Salva says

    October 29, 2016 at 12:00 pm

    My favorite garment are pants, and then t-shirts. I almost never find non fitted, straight or flared pants that are also low waisted to fit my uncomventional figure, so I love that I can make my own.

    I also love making what I like to call franken-tees: repurposed regular sized t-shirts to which I ass stripes, pleats, contrasted arms. I love color blocked garments 🙂

  41. Melanie Watson says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:58 am

    I love to see dresses.

  42. Carole says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:56 am

    I love sewing tops and dresses! I love the second pattern collection. Thank you so much for having this giveaway!

  43. Corinne says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:53 am

    Love making tops and dresses. The second pack would be a wonderful prize for me.

  44. Lynda W says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:50 am

    My sewing favorite is skirts, and I almost never use a pattern for them. I especially love to make skirts from men’s dress shirts. I also make them from new fabric. I do not wear pants, and my go-to outfit is a skirt and t-shirt. I can rarely find rtw skirts in my preferred style, so almost all of my skirts are me-made. Please enter me for the winter/holiday prize pack.

  45. Angela Labate says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:50 am

    My favorite things to sew are dress!

  47. Angela Labate says

    Thank s so much for running this giveaway!

  48. Suzanne says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:48 am

    I would love to be entered for a chance at winning the Winter collection, as I have the other 3 Simplicity patterns in my stash already. I mostly love sewing knits for the flexibility and forgiveness of fit. A semi-fitted V-neck bodiced shirt, tunic, or dress really make me happiest at the sewing machine.

  49. Reina Maze says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:48 am

    I love sewing tops and dresses! (Shhh and doll clothes).

  50. Cary says

    October 29, 2016 at 11:46 am

    Tops are tops in my book!
