5 Bunka Book giveaway
Posted by Kathleen Fasanella on Nov 12, 2012 at 5:45 pm / Contest and Projects / Trackback
Yay, the giveaway is on!
Courtesy of Laurence King Publishing, one lucky winner will win one copy of each of the following books:
Drape Drape
Drape Drape 2
Pattern Magic
Pattern Magic 2
Pattern Magic: Stretch Fabrics
To enter, submit a comment written in Haiku -preferably in the context of sewing, drafting, draping and such. For example:
I love Bunka Books
Because sewing is my life
I will sew till death.
You get the idea but hopefully nothing quite so morose.
As I mentioned previously, the publisher will be shipping directly so this contest is open to anyone regardless of residency. Likewise, Lawrence King would like to remind you that Drape Drape 3
Again, to enter the contest, write a comment in Haiku. To make it more interesting, any posts you comment on during the coming week will be considered entries provided they are written in Haiku. Good luck!
PS. It is great that F-I seems to be so popular with bloggers -judging by all the links left- so how come none of them link here? Share the love people.

Flowing down the table,
A stream of profit

Into a shop.
