New Website and Giveaway!

17 Sep New Website and Giveaway!

151007-0811-1-e1474036677821-1024x712

It is with great excitement that Julie and I announce a companion website to our upcoming book, The Tunic Bible, thetunicbible.com.  Not only is the website designed to enhance your tunic sewing experience, thetunicbible.com will allow me to post far less tunic material on goodbyevalentino.com.

So you might say this is one of my last tunic posts on Goodbye Valentino 😉

Julie and I have sewn over 60 tunics during the last 16 months, and became intrigued with several tunic designers. In the beginning it was Sail to Sable, followed by Tory Burch , then Gretchen Scott and others. We accumulated a collection of RTW tunics, and have four left that were not decimated or worn, and we’re giving them away!

giveaway-001

To enter the giveaway, simply sign up to follow thetunicbible.com and leave a comment on the new blog post. You’ll be entered to win one of the four tunics unless you specify otherwise. Winners will be announced on Thursday, September 22. Please note sizes range from XXS to Small.

A huge thank you again, dear Readers for your support! I hope you’ll draw inspiration from our efforts and I look forward to connecting with you both at Goodbye Valentino, and with Julie at The Tunic Bible.

Until soon 🙂

      Thank you so much Angela! The release date is October 1 and I am not sure why Amazon has Nov 1 listed but hopefully you will receive it before November. I received my advance copy this week and am very pleased 🙂

      Hi Donna! We knew the sizes wouldn’t fit everyone, and bought many tunics to learn about construction techniques. Many thanks for the comment, and I hope you enjoy the book 🙂

    Looking forward to your book–you have used a couple of my favorite RTW brands for inspiration!

      Thank you, Janet! There are some wonderful tunics on the market for sure ~ we hope our pattern and book will produce results that rival those RTW tunics on the racks 😉

    Lovely website! Will the book be released on October 1? I pre-ordered when it was announced and Amazon is saying it ships November 1. I’m so excited and would love to get it earlier. I am a huge fan of tunics and can’t wait to get the book. So happy to have the website to look forward to as well.

      Thank you so much, Lynnette! The book will be released on October 1 and I do not know why Amazon lists Nov 1 as the date. Hopefully you will receive it sooner 😉

    I received an email from amazon today telling me the release date had been changed to FEBRUARY 9 2017!!! Sometimes I think amazon thinks its users aren’t very bright – did they I we wouldn’t check? Anyway, I cancelled my order through and placed it instead through C&T Publishing. I would assume I will be able to get it from the publisher long before February! 🙂

      Chris,
      The February date with Amazon was a mistake and has been corrected, however, you will still receive it sooner than Amazon through C&T.
      Many thanks for ordering!

    I’ve tried looking at some of the sites – not all are easy to locate – some I didn’t see an announcement of a winner. Guess I’ll just hope I wasn’t one.

    Love the idea of the book with one pattern and many variations. How about doing something similar with the concept of the Veronica Beard jackets with dickies?
