Giveaway ends on 25th May when winners will be chosen by random. Please make sure I can contact you if you should win. If I don't receive replies back from the winners by 28th May, I will redraw.
My next post will feature something that I've made using buttons and zips.
If you've got time I would love you to stick around a while.
Giveaway is now closed.
I've used my family random number generator to pick the winners. This consists of asking my son to choose two numbers between 1 and 170 and he said:
32 - One Perfect Day for the zips
and
95 - Happy Cottage Quilter for the buttons
Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteOh man, I'm torn, I love buttons and use them all the time (I never mind making buttonholes) but zippers where I am cost a leg and an arm (which is why most of my projects involve knits or buttonholes). I'd use either of them likely in closures for a couple of skirts in my to-do pile.
