Giveaway

It's about time for another Magnifier Giveaway don't you think?

Save those precious eyes!

You have this fabric to thank, it inspired me to share the love :) 
Cutting/picking/threading black thread on black fabric is a lot easier when wearing magnifiers

I'm giving away two. Any country and continent, preferably on planet Earth :), just leave a comment on this post and you're in. Random drawing will be this Friday, August 6th.

  2. I was just thinking about magnifiers a couple of days ago, when I was trying to pick the black threads from a black seam. So stressful, because I kept catching the fabric threads.

  3. Ooohhhh, please choose me! My eyes are betraying me these days. My brain feels 30 years younger, why do my eyes insist that chonological age matters?

  4. There is supposed to be an 'r' in chronological. See what I mean about the eyes?

  5. I recently tried to unpick an invisible zipper from a very unstable sweater knit. These magnifiers would have been a huge help!

    Thanks for holding another giveaway!

  6. Why not? It's harder and harder to see the individual stitches... (sigh).

  7. What a great idea. My eyes are terrible, I even call my husband in several times a week to thread my needles. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

  10. Oh that would I need. When you are turning 50 it's difficult to see what you are sewing. I don't think you can get them here in Finland.

  11. Oh great I am want give it a chance again. I have many black sewing projects on my fall wish list
    Thanks a lot

  12. Oh, how I need those magnifiers now that I'm turning the bend into my sixth decade. I'm a big fan of your Hollywood/Broadway styles, having been raised in Westwood, (Uni High, etc) and had a father working in "the business." So I really admire the way you've got that Bundy Drive/Sunset Boulevard combo of glam and casual down just right. Something my East Coast mother could never get a handle on, although once she brought home leopard capris, trying to go for the Gina Lolo look in one fell swoop. We laughed for years about that one.
    But you've got it!
    Please save my sight! Much love, Inkstain on PatternReview

  18. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Have newly found your blog and am really enjoying your writing. The eye guy swears I'm not ready for the big girl glasses yet but strangely I can barely see anything at arm's length or less... Please enter me in your giveaway!

  19. I was lucky enough to win these in your last giveaway. They are FABULOUS! When I had to pick out those threads on the white linen, they became invaluable and thank you so much. Whoever wins these will be very lucky. Of course, don't include me in this drawing. This is a generous gift.

  27. I'm new to this blog and look forward to reading it. I've sustained some loss of vision due to glaucoma, and I had a vitreal detachment in my right eye and it looks like I'm looking thru
    Vaseline thru it. I would say that a pair of magnifiers would be perfect for me!
