This is part of the big pile of bags, purses, hats and garments on my (carpeted-and-used-as-a-playroom) garage floor. This week, they'll be priced (mostly under $20) and hung up, ready for the
BIG CLEARANCE SALE
I'm having this Saturday.
Saturday 23rd March
10.30am - 3.30pm
Production samples, display and teaching samples... and excess samples.... I have too many samples.
ALL TO CLEAR. All going for an absolute song.
I'll also have a few things like a box of vintage tablecloths, some feather boas, discontinued bag hardware and patterns.... odds and ends. I need to make some space.
Please note: The showroom/shop won't be open on Saturday (I can't manage both) but if you want to put in an order for bag supplies and pick it up on the day, contact the office during the week and we can get it ready for you.
And I'm sorry - I barely have time to price and hang up the samples, so the sale will not be listed online anywhere. You really need to just come in or send a personal shopper.
-----------------------------
Project-wise, there's a little bit of everything in this book, and a whole heap of sewing tips and techniques to make you a faster, better, more confident sewing whizz...
You can read what the editors at PatternReview.com had to say about it here...
And here are a few more pictures from the book, all by the very talented Denise Nestor.
To celebrate the availability of the book in the USA, I'm going to give a copy of the book away to someone in the USA or Canada. If you live there, you could be a winner!
To be in the draw, you need to follow the blog (there's a widget on the sidebar) and leave a comment in the comment box below (with an email address if you don't have a Blogger profile with an email address attached).
OR, follow me on Facebook and leave a comment in the post that links to this blog post. If you post on the Facebook page, there's no need to leave an email address. I can contact you there through a private message.
I'll gather up all the names, draw a winner on Friday 29th March and order the book to be sent directly to you.
And now I have to go off and think of something nice for those of you who don't live in Melbourne or the USA....

Thankyou for this splendid opportunity. Would love to come to your sample sale but it's just too far away. Cherrie
I'd love to be a personal shopper on sat, but can't make it till Monday. Will be in your area for work and thought I'd stop by. Save me something nice!
Would it be cheating to enter here and on Facebook? I am a bit of a lump when it comes to technology. Hope all goes well with the sale. Can't make it. We are getting a snow storm today and must dig out !!!
Hi Nikki,
I would love to receive your book! I have been looking for it in the US but couldn't find it...yet.
Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win it!
have a great day!

Your book looks awesome - would love to win it and I am already a faithful follower. :)
My jaw dropped when I saw the gorgeous bounty you're selling for a song at your sample sale... then you had me jumping up and down when I heard your book is now easily available for those of us in North America... and then I read you're going to give away a copy???!!! Now I'm squealing (while keeping my fingers crossed ever so tightly... ;o).
I have that book. That's a NICE book.
If you could arrange a draw only for Scottish people with a visit from you as a prize, that'd be very nice thank you.
Have fun on Saturday!
Woo Hoo! Your book looks lovely and I am excited by the opportunity to win a copy. Thank you ever so much!
Count me in, please!! I'd love to make it to the sale, but the book would be the next best thing!
