Calling All Crafty Moms! You Can Make This: Review and Giveaway
Thursday, February 19, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
If you've visited my blog on Mondays then you know that I love to be crafty or at least try to be crafty-lol. For years, I have been wanting to learn how to sew and recently, I have started playing around with my sewing machine. I am a TOTAL beginner so I can only do sewing projects that have very clear and easy instructions with A LOT of pictures. I was thrilled when I was recently contacted by You Can Make This to review their crafting e-books and tutorials. At You Can Make This, you can find downloadable instructions on how to make just about anything from children's boutique clothing and jewelry, to handbags, home decor and more!You Can Make This was created by a mom and all of the tutorials instructions are actually written by everyday moms who have are experts in a specific craft. I received several e-books to review and I am so impressed with how well-written and easy to follow they are. The tutorials have step-by-step full-color pictures and detailed instructions that are easy to understand. The tutorials are perfect for beginners, but the designs will appeal to those of you with advanced skills too. I am hoping to make one of the projects over the next week or two and show it to you for Make Something Monday!
You Can Make This is such a cool website-you can seriously spend hours looking through all they have to offer. You can also get many tutorials and patterns totally FREE. By signing up for their FREE newsletter, you will automatically receive all of these product instructions pictured on the left, plus an online video and digital scrapbooking frames. You Can Make This is truly a crafter's or wannabe crafter's dream!
You Can Make This has generously offered to give one Jolly Mom reader a bundle of tutorials worth $50! The bundle includes tutorials for a Child/Adult Apron Set, Women's Reversible Wrap Skirt, The "She Loves Me, She Loves Me KNOT" Handbag, The Reversible Patchwork Bucket Hat, Easy-Fit Pants, and Boys Ties.
This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Elissa! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to contact me.
