Giveaway Day 23

I was up all night altering my son's band uniform. The only pair of pants they had on hand for a 6'4" kid were equally as big around—serious Tweedle-Dee pants.

In the end, I removed 15 total inches from the girth of the pants, taking out 1" to 6" on five different seams: inseams, outseams, and center back. And I added two darts in the front to bring the suspenders closer together.

I deserve a sewing badge for extreme alteration. That was some WiLd sewing. I've never modified a garment so drastically before. I'm stocking up on mama points this week. Going to cash them in for babysitting—starting tonight. Hooray for the weekend!

Today's giveaway is a collection of Heather Bailey paper-crafting supplies, including a variety of clear stamps, ribbons, die-cut felt trim, stickers, ink pads—all sorts of bright happy supplies. A $43 value.

Comment to enter. One entry per household. Be sure to include your email address so we can contact you if you win. You don't have to type your email address into the body of the comment if you entered it in the email-address field on the comment form.

Today's giveaway will go through tomorrow as well and close at 11:59pm PST on Saturday 8/24/13. Watch for the winner to be announced within the week at the bottom of the post. For more info on my August giveaway party, click here. Please share the word. Check back every day. Good luck!
