A little over a week ago, we announced<\/a> that Liesl’s two new video workshops, Apparel Sewing Basics<\/a> and Seams, Closures + Hems<\/a>, are now available for sale on our website.<\/p>\n

\"Apparel<\/a>Since then we’ve seen something unusual. Orders for these DVDs are coming in from a lot of men. Not that we don’t like selling things to men. It’s just that seeing a man’s name on an Oliver + S order is a bit out of the ordinary. We’re chalking this up to the upcoming holiday season and are figuring that some of you will be getting the DVDs as Christmas gifts from your lovely husbands. (And, no, we’re not giving any hints about whose husbands have been shopping with us so don’t bother asking….)<\/p>\n

But we’re sure that not all of you will be getting the series for Christmas, even if you did ask your personal Santa Claus very nicely. So we figured we would help you out by giving away a copy of Apparel Sewing Basics.<\/p>\n

To enter the drawing for a free copy of the DVD, leave a comment telling us what else you’ve asked Santa for this Christmas.<\/p>\n

One entry per person, please. Comments may be subject to moderation before they are published, so don\u2019t resubmit it if your comment doesn\u2019t appear immediately. As long as you didn\u2019t see an error message when submitting your comment, you entry has been accepted.<\/p>\n

The drawing will run until 2:00PM ET on Dec. 1 at which point we will turn comments off and will ask our friends at Random.org to help us pick a winner. If your name is drawn, we\u2019ll contact you via email to get your shipping address.<\/p>\n

(Before you leave your comment, let me give you a warning. Whatever you do, do not check that little box below that says \u201cNotify me of followup comments via e-mail.\u201d Trust me. You don\u2019t want your inbox to be inundated with emails from strangers telling you what they want for Christmas.)<\/p>\n

Interested in winning a copy of Seams, Closures + Hems? Then you’ll want to check out the post at the top of the Lisette blog<\/a> today. And, while you’re there, why don’t you explore the site a bit. There’s been a lot of interesting content posted to the Lisette blog lately that you might not have seen yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
