SouleMama Sponsor ~ Magpie Patterns ~

 

Today, we bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, Magpie Patterns. In Amy's words:

"A boutique of knitting, sewing, embroidery and crochet patterns for crafters of all stripes.

Follow us on Pinterest!"

SouleMama: how long have you been in business?

Amy: Magpie Patterns got its start in 2010, although I've been collecting (and using) fabulous patterns for much longer.

SouleMama: What role does 'handmade' play in our society? 

Amy: I'm so glad that the role of handmade in our society is growing, although not fast enough for me! I have high hopes that somehow we'll get to the point (once again) that handmade is the norm, forcing us all to slow down, consider craftsmanship, own less and appreciate more. Wouldn't it be lovely if there was no longer a need for Walmart because everything you needed (really, truly needed) was made in your own community?

SouleMama: What advice do you have for people wanting to be more creative?

Amy: Don't be afraid! You have to be willing to take risks and to fail. Trying something new is exhilarating and often frustrating at the same time but masters in their craft will tell you that all those failed attempts are progress, not stop signs.

For today's giveaway, Magpie Patterns is generously offering the following gift to THREE winners:

~ A chance to start new projects with a $25 gift certificate for anything in the shop.
