Hosting my first Giveaway for You Can Make This!

I'm so excited to host my first giveaway on this site from...



You Can Make This has a new series running on their YouCanMakeThis blog: DIY Gift Giving. With the holidays just around the corner, they thought it would be fun to put together a series of gift giving ideas you can make! You’ll learn some fun new techniques, tips and ideas not only for the people on your list, but also creative ways to decorate your home! As if that is not enough, THEY are also giving away hundreds of dollars in gift certificates just for watching the videos and answering a question on the blog!

Check out their latest video and then go on over and download your FREE oven mitt pattern and instructions. I already downloaded mine, and I'm excited to actually be able to make something and not be stressed about figuring it all out! After you've download the pattern, go answer their $5 Stocking Stuffer Question on their blog.

Check out more videos of them on YouTube or on their blog.

You Can Make This sent me an e-book to review of my choice. I chose the Duet Apron Set e-book since we just bought our son a little kitchen set for his birthday. I am going to make him a boy apron and me an apron too. I don't have a chance to try it until after the holidays, but just looking at their e-book. It's going to be EASY! I am not a talented sewer at all yet, but I really want to learn. I received a sewing machine for my college graduation a couple years ago from my parents. I've only made a couple things on it so far because I have no idea what I'm doing. I have bought some fabric and patterns at the store, but the patterns are SO CONFUSING! Well not these patterns and instructions from You Can Make This! It's so detailed and step by step, that I know I won't have any problems making these aprons! Thank you so much You Can Make This!!!! I wish I had discovered this site sooner because then I could really use my sewing machine and make a bunch of gifts for friends and family. I've already put all my gifts together for this year, but next year I'll be all set and it will be a lot easier!!

Ok...so I cannot sew but would so love to know how! I had a hard time even choosing something to tell you about in the comment because I am afraid I will not be able to do any of it! But I am going to pick the stitchery patterns. I have been wanting to do one of those!

Oh yeah - after looking through their site (SO much fun stuff, I've always enjoyed this site!) it's come down to two for me...either the easy fit pants for tweens and adults or recycled t-shirt ruffle skirt and skort (6 months-5T)
