Craftastic Link-up, Giveaway News & New Blog of the Week

Welcome to a new Craftastic Week here at Sew Can Do!  I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July (ours was ridiculously hot all day, followed by massive rain all night).   It's been a real feat taking pics of projects outside  - my camera was literally fogging up because it was so humid.  Thank goodness it's finally cooling down!

But the happenings here are still hot - I've got lots of giveaway news.  First, a new fabric giveaway is coming up very soon (so those of you following on Twitter keep an eye out for a special heads-up on when it will start).

Second, the winner of the Pellon Fashion Sewing Giveaway was: 

Congratulations Jessie!  And thanks to Pellon for providing such a great prize.

~AND~ My giveaway for a $25 gift certificate to Crochet by Allie is still open.  You could win your choice of some lovely custom-crocheted accessories like this adorable princess crown.  Seriously, how cute it this?!? Click HERE to enter.

Now let's see some fabulous features from last week's link party:

Cherished Bliss beat the heat with this lovely Pink Lemonade-themed party:

I also feature these projects and more party favorites on the Sew Can Do's Craftastic Picks board on Pinterest.  Follow me there to see more great projects (and if yours is one of them)!

And now for the Craftastic Blog of the Week:

Elegance & Elephants is the blog of Heidi, a Canadian mom who loves to sew and shares all sorts of great tutorials for making garments, her original children's wear, toys and great technique tips for sewing all sorts of things.  Last week she shared her pleated pocket capri pants:
