Craftastic Monday Celebrates With A Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.  Summer is officially in full swing and I'm loving it!  The response to my reversible Serena Dress & Emmeline Bonnet patterns has been so wonderful, I wanted to come up with even more fun & easy reversible patterns.  So, I'm thrilled to say I've got two new patterns up in my Etsy shop:

The Reversible Liane Wrap Dress is incredibly quick to make and has an easy wrap-around fit.  The pattern includes sizes 3-6mos & 6-18mos.  Fully reversible from both inside/outside and front/back, to give four-looks-in one. Tie in front or in back – it's up to you:

Here's how it looks on baby:

The Reversible Around Town Bag Pattern Set gives instructions on how to make both my roomy Beach Bag:

AND the Around Town Tote Bag:

So in honor of these new additions, I'm doing a giveaway for your choice of reversible pattern from my shop.

Here's how to enter:

**Apparently Blogger is broken & messing up comments on a lot of blogs today.  Totally UGH, I know!  I see them in my email even if they aren't showing up here, so please don't let that stop you from commenting - I am getting them.  If I have to, I'll manually draw a winner, since I don't want anyone to miss their chance!**

Now on to this week's party!  I've had a lot of "how-to" stuff on the brain lately, so it wasn't until I'd already chosen these projects from last week when I realized they were all tutorials!  So check out these great ideas you can try out yourself:

Like this beautiful texture wallpaper art tutorial by Meet Virginia.  It gives you the best parts of decorating with wallpaper, but without the hassles of hanging or removing:

Check out this super practical tutorial by Cook Clean Craft on turning man size pants into toddler size ones in ONE hour.  As someone with a husband & two boys, this one is now on my list of to-dos:

And maybe something for yourself  like this pretty up a plain notebook with this Fabric Notebook Cover tutorial from Anna at Yards & Yards.  It even has a cute ruffle!

Now it's time to show what you've got!  If you've created something fun (sewing, baking, decorating, papercraft or anything else crafty), link on up! The rules are simple:

• As long as it's crafty and made by you it's Craftastic. Just add the link to your specific post (not the main page of your blog).
• Include the name of your Craftastic creation, your blog name & a pic of your project.
• Grab my party button & put it on your post or blog to share the party with everyone.
• Check out some of the other great links and share some crafty comment love.

This party is for sharing your own fun craft ideas & homemade projects (not promoting products), so please no giveaways, linking up another party, Etsy shops or online stores.

I leave the party open until 12pm EST Thursday. As usual, at the end of the week I'll be featuring some of my favorite links, so please remember to add the Craftastic party button to your post or blog so I can consider featuring your project.
