Vintage McCall's Patterns Notebooks and Notecards - A Giveaway


Thanks to Chronicle Books, I have another giveaway.

What is this giveaway?  The cutest vintage note cards and notebooks, which by the way would be perfect for gift giving.

Here are the
Vintage McCall's Patterns notecards


The description
Crafty correspondents and gift givers will delight in these all-occasion notecards that celebrate an iconic era of fashion. Four unique designs showcase authentic patterns from the McCall's archive, while custom envelopes resembling deconstructed pattern pieces lend playful, DIY flair.



Isn't that just the most fun?  Want to see the set?

No worries, I took a picture of a set

See the bottom right?  That is the envelope - a pattern piece.  Oh, I just love these and won't you or your sewing friends?  All of your sewing friends.  We should buy these and start writing our sewing friends, the vintage way, with a stamp.

Now that isn't all of the vintage goodness from Chronicle Books, they have 



Here is the description:
Batched with twine like a stack of sewing patterns, these three notebooks feature the original McCall's packaging of the 1960s and 1970s, with cute-as-a-button graphics and slogans. Blank and lined interior pages are sepia-toned and adorned with sewing motifs, inviting journalers to record project details or everyday musings.

I put one in my purse to write sewing supply lists and patterns I need to purchase.

The good news..... I have 2 sets to give away.  Two lucky people will get a set of notecards and a set of notebooks each.

To enter, leave a comment of who you would write with these cute notecards or what type of sketches or lists you would do the in the notebooks.  Or leave a comment if you are going to purchase these cute Vintage McCall's Notebooks and Notecards for a gift.


I will draw on Saturday, October 25th.

  4. I really like Vicky's idea of using the notecards for sewing room decor! But I would save one to give to my sewing buddy who valiantly accompanies me on fabric searches and to classes. The notebooks are perfect for journals, I'll bet.

  7. I would write down sewing goals and words of encouragement towards reaching those goals in the notecards for my sewing buddies and myself. After I reach that particular goal I would frame the card and display it in my sewing room. In the notebooks I would write sewing hopes and dreams for the future and concrete steps on how to achieve those dreams.

  9. Oh my gosh! These remind me of the patterns I used when I was learning to sew in the mid 70's. I would use these to correspond with friends of the same age reminding them where we started. The notebooks would be great for making sewing notes.
