Pattern envelopes, an I Make Fashion tote and pink balloons for the one year anniversary

Can you believe it? Megan Nielsen Patterns is one year old!! The actual anniversary was a few days ago, during our sewalong, so i waited till we were done – but now i think we should celebrate!!!

What started as an experiment with 4 of my maternity patterns and the 1 from my clothing line – has grown now to include 10 patterns and other fun stuff like sewing kits, tote bags and fabric note cards – and some incredibly exciting things on the horizon. I can’t believe how much has happened (including moving the whole business to a new country, which let me tell you, was no small feat). We’ve come so far – and i can’t wait to see where we’re going!

I am over the moon. YAYYYYY!!!!

I totally want to celebrate!!  And since all of you are so much a part of the reason we’ve had a banner first year, I want to thank you for your constant support and encouragement! I’m so excited about the future, and thrilled to see so many people enjoying my patterns.

Who wants to come to Perth and have a massive party with me?! Okay yeah, that’s not gonna work is it? hehehe. So here’s what i’m a thinking – lets have a HUGE giveaway. Like a really HUGE giveaway. I’m thinking 5 winners at least- each getting a Megan Nielsen prize pack (yeah i totally just invented that prize pack hehehe). Each one will be slightly different, but will include:

  • A selection of Megan Nielsen Patterns
  • A Megan Nielsen “I make fashion” tote bag
  • A stack of Megan Nielsen fabric note cards – to help you keep track of your stash
  • Fabric hand picked by me
  • Assortment of my favourite adorable notions
  • Megan Nielsen clothing labels to add to your creations

Each pack will be around $100 value. Great right?!

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below :) That’s it! (It doesn’t matter where in the world you live, everyone can enter)

And as with previous giveaways i’ve had – you can get additional entries by:

For each additional entry, please leave an extra comment below (that way i won’t leave any entries out).

Entries close midnight Nov 7th. I’ll announce the winners on Thurs the 8th!

Oh and that’s not all – did I mention i’ll be offering 10% off everything in store for the next few days?! Just enter the code BIRTHDAY at checkout. I know, i’m going all out. It’s kind of awesome – just like you!

Thanks so much for being so amazing you guys, if I could hug you all i totally would!!!

ps. It’s also my birthday today :) But lets not talk about that part hehehe

I would totally come to Perth for a party – I’m sure I could convince family that I was there to visit them and the party just happened to be a coincidence!
