13 Nov Pattern and Book Giveaway Winner!
Thank you, Dear Readers for making my b i r t h d a y so wonderful! The shirtdress stories were delightful gifts and made my day! From touching and warm to funny, I was fascinated to read how this garment evoked such vivid memories from ages past to present. Try to read the comments if you can!
Also, a very Happy Birthday to readers Cathy Larson, Ruta Edel and Anne Maresh who share my birthday! It was Grace Kelly’s birthday too 😉

Book Supply Update
You might expect us to have boxes of our books. We do not – but we’ve learned our advance copies have shipped. Julie tracked a book down at a Barnes & Noble store and I placed a Barnes & Noble order which arrived today. Amazon receives its new shipment on Thursday and we hope the issue will be resolved.
I cannot believe I haven’t seen A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing until today, but alas it’s in my hands! I love it and hope you will too. Below is a behind the scenes video from a photo shoot – it’s trickier to get those pristine photos with the white background than one might think………
A post on the featured garments will follow soon………..
And now congratulations to Anne Scanapico – winner of A Stylish Guide to Classic Sewing and Shirtdress Pattern of your choice giveaway!
Please contact me goodbyevalentino@gmail.com to claim your prize by Saturday, November 16 or a new winner will be selected.
Again, many thanks to all who participated. 🙂 🙂
Until Soon!

Posted at 20:49h, 13 NovemberWhat are considered “Advance Copies”? I ordered my book in February. Amazon says it will be delivered between Dec 11 and Jan 19, 2020. Should I cancel the order?

Posted at 06:27h, 14 NovemberLindsey,
Advance copies are books the authors receive prior to the publication date to promote the book. Our publication date has been moved around to our surprise, before we received the advanced copies. Therefore customers had possession of the book before Julie and I even looked at it!
We’ve been told Amazon receives a new shipment TODAY and will put deliveries back on schedule. I hope you don’t cancel your order and thanks so much for placing an order. I hope you like the book. 🙂
