What's in a Name? Giveaway (2 Winners)

I found YouCanMakeThis.com a while ago and immediately fell in love with the site. They have the CUTEST patterns covering all sorts of projects all at reasonable prices. I've grabbed several ebooks from their site-most of them from the FREE section! I've tucked a few away for a rainy day project and a few I've actually tried. Recently I was presented with one of their favorite books, Personalized Name Pillows, for review. Since my sewing skills are VERY LIMITED this will give a true test of their statement "...it's written in a way that even a person who has never sewn before, could make these."


After reading it, I agree! This book would have been a lifesaver if I'd had it at the beginning of April. If you recall, I made my daughter a personalized name pillow for her birthday using upcycle material from her outgrown wardrobe. I was inspired by the cute pillows on YCMT. I thought it'd be easy enough to do with the video tutorial sample (scroll to the bottom of the page for the video). A simple afternoon project took me several days to complete! The final product turned out Tween worthy but I could have saved myself a TON of headaches had I just bought the ebook. LESSON LEARNED!



Personalized Name Pillow ebook contains:
  • complete list of materials required for the project
  • step by step directions with pictures
  • letter templates to customize it with any name.

Courtney with YCMT has generously offered two lucky readers their own copy of Personalized Name Pillows ebook.

Entering is EASY. Your first entry must include:
  • A comment telling me who you'd make the pillow for
Any of the following gets you extra entries! Don't forget to leave a comment with the link to your extra giveaway entry!
Giveaway ends Wednesday, May 20th midnight CST. Must have valid email address to receive prize.

I am loving this pillow, such a cute idea, and it's perfect for me because I have limited sewing skills; about all I can do is sew a button! haha
