\"merchantmillsrepairkit1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favorite things to do during the book process was prop shopping. I love me some good props. Being the way that I am, however, let’s just say that I didn’t hold back and now I have a mountain of charming, photogenic items taking up a whole lotta space in my basement. Luckily, most of them are very small.<\/p>\n

\"merchantmillsrepairkit2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like this tiny Merchant & Mills Rapid Repair Kit. “FIRST AID FOR CLOTHES”, it promises, and this approximately 3.25″ wide x 2.75″ high metal box contains teeny scissors, thread (black + white), needles, pins, a couple of buttons, safety pins and a tape measure.<\/p>\n

I mean, really. How can you not love this? Since I have an extra kit, I thought it might be fun to offer it up as a giveaway. Perhaps you too have a soft spot for all things miniature and industrial chic?<\/p>\n

To enter the giveaway, any comment would do, but I’ve been thinking about how I schlumped and\u00a0dragged and resisted making the jeans when in reality, it was completely doable and enjoyable. Now I want to make 10 pairs. There are so many things that I do that with, big and small.\u00a0Do you have a project or projects like that? Something that feels beyond your capabilities or\u00a0too much work or just plain hard,\u00a0but you know that if you took that very first step and saw it through to completion, you’ll be so excited and will find yourself proudly telling the mailman that you just completed your first pair of jeans? Okay, I didn’t tell the mailman, but I came close. Now that I’m feeling more comfortable with jeans-making, I’m noticing that I still feel that way about grown-up sized coats\u00a0and in the non-sewing realm, entertaining — I’m\u00a0quite intimidated by the idea of hosting dinner parties, though I have no problems having friends over for tea\/coffee with snacks or even casual impromptu dinners (our neighbors come over for dinner all the time). There’s something about the “dinner party” that raises the bar and stresses me out. There’s a list about 15 miles long with additional stuff, but those are the two that came to mind first. And you?<\/p>\n

I’ll keep the giveaway open until this Friday, January 22nd and will announce the winner on Monday. International entries are, of course, lovely. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
