Sewing Stash Giveaway !!!!

So after winning the Pattern Pyramid a few months back, I decided that rather than add to the already overflowing stash of patterns being sent around the globe, I'd host another giveaway to even things out and to give those of you without a blog a chance to win something too!

So I have raided my pattern stash and have chosen some lovely ones for you to win, I have tried to pick a range of patterns from a few eras to mix it up a bit!Lets have a closer look...
