Dear Friends,
I have some exciting news and a favour to ask of you.
Remeber this coat I made for Kezia?
I entered it into The Dressmaker of the Year Competition, and it has been shortlisted in two categories: the childrens wear category (which will be decided by the judges), and also in the Readers Choice category – which is where you come in. I would be so grateful if you could take a moment to click on this link and go vote for me!
Voting is open until 25th April and if you do vote you will automatically be entered into a prize draw to win a bundle of 11 sewing books and subscription to Sew or Make it Today magazine – that’s a prize worth over £230.
It’s a great honour to have been shortlisted and tomorrow I have to parcel the coat off and send it off to be judged! Exciting.
Until soon. I mean, how could you resist that little face? 🙂
Well done! Voted 🙂
Thanks Margaret!
I have put my voted in for you.. 🙂
Thanks so much Theresa
Done! Good luck!
Thanks so much Jamie
OH…best of luck! I went to vote, but it looks like it is only open to UK residents. I wasn’t sure if I could still vote for you even though I’m not eligible for a prize. Do you know?
Oh I don’t know that Sue – will find out and post an update!
Hey Sue, I am getting messages from people who are not in this country who say they have successfully voted so I am guessing you can vote, but it maybe that you are not eligible for the prize.
Okey dokey…off to vote now! 🙂
Delighted and honoted to be able to vote for a very talented mother and beautiful daughter in this competition :-).
Thanks so much Janet!
How exciting, Manju! You definitely deserve it with your amazing sewing skills. I’ll go vote now. 🙂
Thanks Tanya!
Voted for you, good luck 😊
Thanks so much June.
Done – it’s a super coat and deserves to win! Good luck!
Thanks Mrs K
I so wanted to vote for you but since I live in New Zealand I was ineligible. I hope you win.
A few international people have said they have voted but it might me you are not eligible for the prize draw.

I’m in the US and had no problems voting. I admired this coat when you posted it and good luck! Beautiful job. I frequently order from Linton Tweeds and the fabrics are wonderful. Congratulations on being among the finalists.
Thanks so much Mary.
Just voted! Good Luck! I enjoy your sewing blog.

That’s fantastic. I loved this coat and so beautiful on Kezia. I think the model might have something to do with it! Have voted for you, fingers crossed.
