I would love to win this gift card! I would use it to buy fabric and craft supplies to make Christmas gifts this year! I am going to DIY for everyone on my list! <3
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, I have already subscribed and liked you on FB, so I have met those mandatory requirements. If I won the $100.0,0 I would use it to purchase all of your tutorials and to take a sewing class, and if anything is left, buy some more patterns. Patterns have been my acheles heel, so I am trying to use as many as I can to learn more. Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteI would love to win this card I need some fall clothing.
ReplyDeleteI will buy some new fabric to make some cute tops for myself and my daughter for fall!
ReplyDeleteI will spend the gift card on some fabulous fabrics and stunning patterns to kick off my DIY! Oh yes and of course a killer pair of shoes!
ReplyDeleteI would use the $100 gift card toward buying a sewing machine to start my dream of making African Fabric printed clothing and accessories.
ReplyDeleteLoveAlways,
Keli
I am starting a new career as a mental health counselor. I would use the money to buy several professional pieces since i currently don't own anything that says "business professional"
ReplyDeleteIf I won the $100 Visa gift card, I would pay to have my blog (shadespromakeup.blogspot.com) turned into a proper .com website where I could properly feature "My Style" and inspire others through my creativity.
ReplyDeleteIt would go to my "New Used Car Fund". My son was abused at day care so I began to homeschool him sacrificing making my own money and having to give up my care. Now that he is school age I have been struggling to get back into the workforce and saving to buy a car so that I can take him to school and participate in his PTA. It's painful to not be able to be hands on in his academic journey, but I know if I keep working at it, things will turn around for us...kelasia325@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'll GIVE THE $100 TO MY MOM SO SHE CAN HAVE SOMETHING FLY TO WEAR LIKE YOU AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF!
ReplyDeleteI'm buying fabric if I win!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi! I would use the $100 gift card to do some long overdue shopping, being a single parent, I always make sure my son is always dressed, so I would try to spruce up my wardrobe a little bit
ReplyDeleteKeeping it real, I will pay my phone bill! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat will I do with $100 gift card? Hmmm, let's see. Sept is the most expensive month for moms having to buy school supplies, school clothes, school pictures, etc. Multiply that times 5 for me. My birthday is Oct 4. I think if I got $100 gift card I would just have to spend it on me for my birthday gift to myself- maybe add a few pieces to my fall wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteOh forgot to mention, fb page is liked
ReplyDeleteRomonia Mona Williams aaaand I subscribe to the blog =)
How awesome!! Well, if I got the $100 I know for sure I'd try to get some things necessary for my potential business, as well as get a few clothing items (via thrifting to make every penny count!!). :) Thanks Mimi!
ReplyDeleteWith the $100 I would use it to invest in a sewing machine. I got laid off last year when I was 8 weeks pregnant and I haven't been able to afford the investmeant as of yet but I would love to be able to make clothes for myself and my daughter.
ReplyDeleteHello mimi g. I'm laready following you via google blogger and already have likfe your facebook page.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to win the $100 Visa card i would use to it to give myself a day of pamapering. Maybe a massage and then get my nails done or go shopping for more clothes :-)
Wow! Congratulations on the pageviews! :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things I could do with this gift card! I most likely would use it to buy craft and sewing supplies so I can make Christmas gifts and more products to sell at the craft fair I'll be participating in November.
I followed you via Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, & Pinterest as well!
Good luck to everyone!
With the $100 it would help out with many sewing projects I've been putting off due to not having extra $$ to spend on fabrics. So with that $100 I will spend it on fabrics, elastics, and thread. Along with purchasing a crafty project for my little one!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Winter shopping for my girls, newborn, four and six years old.
ReplyDeleteI would use the gift card to take a sewing class!
ReplyDeleteI like you style Mimi.
ReplyDeleteI like you style Mimi.
ReplyDeleteI would buy my girls, 1 month, 4 & 6 yrs old, well needed fall/ winter clothing
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jemima McPherson and I would use the $100 to buy some much needed clothes and shoes for myself. I am a mother of two girls (5 and 2 years old) and most of my pay check goes towards making sure that they're good! I work 45-50 hours a week from my home office and hardly even have the time to go out so the outfit and shoes I buy would be used for a very special date night with my hubby who's birthday is coming up. With all of my current expenses like ballet, jazz, recent school supplies, organics (we try to eat as healthy as possible) I have had to sacrifice some of the extra's for me so this would be a nice surprise! Thanks for the opp!
ReplyDeleteI would totally go buy myself a new pair of shoes! Lol.
ReplyDeleteIf I won the Visa Gift Card I would pay for some of my daughters college applications fees that are getting ready to break me. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi! If I won the $100, I would put it toward buying my daughter a new laptop for Christmas. She started college this year and I would like her to have a better performing laptop than what she has now.Have a stylish day!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey Mimi, I would love to be enter in the give away. If I win the $100.00, I would buy a sewing machine so that I can start sewing. You have really inspired me. My mom is a seamstress and could not do that. But you make it look easy and fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway. What I would do with $100 is to go shopping and/or invest in a sewing machine if my mother doesn't give up hers. Your blog has inspired me to start sewing.
I would purchase my son a new suit....You see, this week is homecoming week and he was selected to represent his freshman football team for the homecoming court. Unfortunately, it came at a very inopportune time. My son and I compiled a 'fit' that will have him looking pretty daper however, I know he would have much rather had something new. Being the humble person he is, he grumbled not once. So although homecoming will be over, with a gift card, I would go ahead and purchase that suit. :-)....He is my first born and my BFF what can I say.
ReplyDeleteDenise Booker
Oh, how nice! Let's see, I would divide the $100 with my family of five. I will buy a pattern & fabric for myself, one toy for each of my kids(3) and a PS3 game for my hubby. Thanks! Good Luck to all!!
ReplyDeleteI just starting working again and would use the gift card towards a new wardrobe for work..btarplain@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would use the $100 to get your T-shirt Maxi Dress Tutorial. And your shoes have inspired me to do color. I need some blue suede shoes of my own! Love your blog! LEE LEE
ReplyDeleteId totally buy fabric or a serger
ReplyDeleteWith $100, i need a set of top and pant, i just got a pair of shoe and need outfit to complete the look.
ReplyDeleteI already subscribed a month ago to your newsletter and also follow you on facebook.
Yay!! congrats on your 1.4 million views, that is cray! if I won the $100 I honestly wouldnt spend it on myself, I'd use it to put towards a Brahmin bag that mom has had her eye on for awhile to surprise her!! She deserves that bag and im going to get it for her no matter what!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has wanted a sewing machine for a long time and due to challenging times, I have not been able to get her one. The $100 dollars can go towards getting her a sewing machine for her birthday which is Oct. 6.
ReplyDeleteI'n going to buy your maxi skirt and t-shirt dress tutorials, and fabric to complete them!

ReplyDeleteI'd go shopping for clothes, of course!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi.. I just started following you a couple weeks ago and I am in love with your style. Its very similar to mine. I have already liked your FB page and on Instagram lol. If I won...I more than likely would purchase some fabrics and patters because I just signed up for sewing lessons. I took lessons way back and used to sew things for myself but of course I need a refresher. You inspired me to do so and I am so glad I did it! Pulled out my old sewing machine too.. I'm so ready! lol

ReplyDeleteI will take my kids to the fair on Sunday Sept 30. Neka Mizzadditude on your facebook page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for inspiring me to sew! I conquered my fear of the sewing machine and get excited to visit JoAnn's for fabric and patterns. I'd use the gift card to head to local fabrics stores on my trip to NYC. Can't wait to find non-chain fabrics and support local businesses.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's giving away money RIGHT when I found the most luxurious Ralph Lauren wool for $40 friggin dollars a yard. :) That $100 would go a looooooooooong way to making me winter fabulous!

ReplyDeleteIm just learning to sew and am hooked. I would buy some fun fabric, but this time it would be to make something for myself. Oh the possibilities :)
ReplyDeleteIf I win the gift card, I will buy a faux leather, black motorcycle jacket. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm pregnant now and would love to use the card for my first POST baby POST pregnancy weight shopping spree. I figure I will be back in shape around summer 2013, just in time for our trip to Maui. I'm thinking a nice two-piece?
ReplyDeleteI already like you on FB and subscribe! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. $100. Well this may be a bit sad because am skint but I would buy a whole heap of supplies I need for sewing, ie a see thru ruler, varyform curve ruler, bias binding maker, wonder tape. All things like that. Make-up to cheer me up, have only been able to afford cheap stuff off eBay, so would love a nice cream blusher, mascara and nail varnish. I would also treat myself to a bottle of perfume. These things would cheer me up heaps.
ReplyDeleteI would invest in the starter sewing machine that I saw in Walmart. My girls love to put things together and until i stumbled upon your blog, I never thought much about trying to sew... It can be something that my 2 little girls and I can share together.
ReplyDeleteI would use the $100 to put towards buying either my vintage louis bag or Michael Kors hamilton bag that I have been dreaming about for a while.
ReplyDeleteHello Mimi

ReplyDeleteI will definitely use it to buy me a used sewing machine on Amazon. Im so excited to learn how to sew. All thanks to you Mimi!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi! As much as I love fashion, I wouldnt use it for that....this time. I'd love to go home and take my grandmother to treat her to something nice. I dont get to see my family often, and do to past events, some of us arent cloae at all...that breaks my grandmothers heart. Im single and hv to work a lot so splurging is never in the cards for me. My nana helped raise me since my mom was a teen mom, so she's a mother to me too. Just wanna see her smile :) ~LaRhonda~

ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteIf i win the gift card it would go towards fabric for dresses for my little princess. Of course getting a bit of fabric for me as well. Love your blog
I will buy ALL of your patterns. Being on a tight budget means I have not been able to afford them (yes I know they're extremely reasonably priced but that's how tight the budget is). And I'll try to get something nice for the hubs too, can't splurge on myself only :)
ReplyDeletejosanne.mitchell@gmail.com
I am a fashion design student in my last year of college. We have a fashion show coming up and I want my entry to be the best I have ever created. The foundation to a great design is great fabric and as a broke college student, lol, I rarely have the means to buy anything of quality; therefore, I would use the $100 Visa gift card to buy just that! Great fabrics and other necessary things to bring my vision to life and finish out my college career with a bang!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and you are awesome. Keep doing what you are doing!! I look forward to checking out your blog everyday and this was a pleasant surpise to see you giving! You are truly blessed and blessing others. Looking forward to tomorrow's post.

I would apply it towards a new sewing machine, I hadn't sewn in a while and my God-sister borrowed my machine and burnt it out! She has been so good to me, I didn't ask her to replace it. Mimi G, after discovering your site, You and your fabulous daughter have made me want to sew again, so I can make some fabulous bell bottom pants!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWhen I win (being optimistic) the $100, I will buy all accessories. Before I discovered MIMI I did not know how much accessories could enhance an outfit. Now, I know I have a lot of catching up to do ;)
ReplyDeleteIf I win the gift card I am going to take myself shopping for my birthday Oct. 20th. i will be 42! This would be a wonderful present! shoes, accessories, etc!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use the giftcard to get some new fabric, thread, needles and accessories bc I love love LOVE sewing and making clothes for my family and myself but in all honestly I would probably use most of it towards our house payment or groceries. My father in law passed 2 weeks ago and we have no idea how we're going to stay in our house with our growing family ( we have another boy due.in March!!: ) ) and mother in law. I'm in no way trying to play the pity card just being completely honest with what I'd do with the giftcard. I do know that I would take a small portion and buy as much fleece fabric as I could and make some comfy Pjs for my family. We love being cozy and snuggling and sometimes staying in our Pjs all day. :) your give aways are so awesome, you seem like such a sweet woman and love what you do. I.love following you and seeing what you come up with and make.

ReplyDeleteI would use it to purchase luxurious fabric for my living room drapes and have them up in time for Christmas. I've been wanting to get something unique that screams elegance and opulence but I didn't have the budget. The gift card would help tremendously!
ReplyDeleteMoney up for grabs...and so many creative places to put it!!!
ReplyDeleteLet me think...if I win I'm going to do something for myself. As a mom you know how that is(no complaints, we do it because we love them!). I'm torn between putting towards my "big girl" sewing machine($499) or go to the mall a purchases a staple piece for fall.
Either way this contest is an amazing opportunity. Thank for inspiring us to think outside the box. Whether we take your style and build on it or we're motivated to come outside of ourselves and create our own I think we all would agree that you've had a hand in it!
Thanks Mimi G.!!!
This would be an awesome 42nd birthday gift. I would tkae myself shopping
ReplyDeleteEasy...I would put it towards the purchase of a new sewing machine. The one I am using is over 20yrs old and is a brand that doesn't even exist anymore. :/
ReplyDeleteThen I could start working on the tutorials that I have already purchased from you :)
I would get something like a nice blazer for my fall wardrobe. I have not bought any staple clothes in almost 3 years for my fall wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteIf I win the $100 gift card would go toward the purchase of my serger
ReplyDeleteI would buy a staple item like a blazer for my fall wardrobe. I have not bought anything really nice for my fall wardrobe in a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win. I plan to enter the world of sewing and I've already priced my sewing machine at Wally World. I can't tell you how many times I read your blogs or check out you face book page thinking..............I can do this. This gift card would really be a great help.

Hello Mimi!! I would be thrilled if I can win that $100 giftcard. I recently finished a Beginner's Sewing class and I am super stoked to start sewing a few pieces on my own. I have one month of free access to the sewing studio at my school. I recently purchased the maxi w/sash tutorial from you, as well as these patterns: New Look 6123 Misses' Dress, Vogue V1314 Misses' Dress, and B7195 Burda Style Pants. The current issue is that now I need to get some fabric! lol Please help. I currently already follow your FB page, twitter account, just subscribed to received email, and just signed up for rss feeds on google reader. I love fashion and spend loads of time browsing the web looking for inspiration. Either way, thanks for your blog! It's pretty darn fab!
ReplyDeleteI would use the money for a couple outfits to wear at job interviews!

ReplyDeleteI would high tail it to Hancock Fabrics and buy nothing for sewing notions and supplies, stuff I never dreamed of buying but I will just to try new sewing projects.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love love love your style. I've subscribed to your FB for a while now & love to see what new fashion you will have on. I can't sew to say my life, I tried many years ago & sucked!!! My mom who is a phenomenal seamstress LOL, @ me when she tried to teach me because I almost sewed my fingeers together. But despite all that I am a fashion junkie, and surprisingly this junkie would not spend the money on herself! I know utter shock!!! If I was to win, I'd spend the money on my 17 yr old son, who is a senior in highschool and has mad style & swag like me!:-) The only problem is, he won't say when he needs new clothes because he's seen me sacrifice for so long, that he now sacrifices for me! So if I was to win, I'd let him use the money to increase his closet & not my own.
ReplyDeleteHey mommy (:I would use $30 and buy you jewelry at forever 21 , & then use the $70.00 to buy FABRIC !!!!! WOOHOOOO!
ReplyDelete(ps. mine shouldn't count lol , I just wanted to do it!)

DeleteDear Mimi,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all CONGRATULATIONS on your increased traffic/followers. ;)
As for the giveaway, I would be so grateful to win the $100.00 prize your sponsoring. I have been looking to purchase a sewing table due to me presently situation of having to clear the dining room table just to sew in which case with the size of the table it does not allow for any room whatsoever when constructing your garment together. If I was the winner, I would use the prize money to purchase a table immediately so I can sew longer and with some much need ease truly enjoy sewing more. This is a wonderful giveaway - thank you for sponsoring.
Best Regards always Mimi - Lisa (lamotoguzzi@yahoo.com)
Hi Mimi. I've been a follower of yours from the beginning. I love what you do and I am so glad that you unselfishly share your wonderful talent and love of fashion with so many. Win or lose, I committed until you close your blog down.
ReplyDeleteI have been unemployed since February. Not having disposable income to spend on a few yards of fabric just because it would give me pleasure to do so can be a bit depressing. Not that I need any more fabric in my life. LOL. All things considered, I am doing okay. If I won this generous giveaway, I would buy a fabulous pair of shoes in either magenta, cobalt blue or emerald green. Yes, I would be absolutely frivolous!
Hey Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI would love to buy fabric to make more of your tutorials !
I have made several tops and maxi skirt for my daughter, but now it's my time : ) for me.!
I have you on my Facebook and subscribe to your blog, love you Mimi !!
Pick me hehehehe

ReplyDeleteIf I was selected to win the $100, I would use the money to put towards my first sewing machine. I have been pricing machines, and looking up classes in my area. You have definitely been an inspiration for me to LEARN how to sew.
I'm a new mom so my baby comes first 50-60% of it will be spent on my son. I mean you can't have too many diapers, outfits or breast-milk storage bags lol. Plus whatever else he needs. And you know I can't neglect myself so maybe a pair of shoes, one or two hair products, maybe a few pieces of clothing. Or maybe a pattern from you because I'm in love with the maxi skirt with a sash. But then again, IDK if I would have time to make it so I think all in all I would just head to the mall...no some online stores since its kind tedious to bring a 4 month old to the mall! Either way it will be spend properly (^_^)
ReplyDeleteHello Mimi. Since I am a fashion marketing major, I would use 50.00 to apply for my bachelors degree in fashion design then I would use the remaining to purchase your tutorials. I really enjoy your site and your daughters site. Both of you guys really inspire me my sister introduced me to your site a few weeks back and ever since then I have been making skirts pants and shirts. Thank you and continue to inspire people around the world. Grace &Peace
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I would buy a new pair of skinnies. I probably spend the rest of fabric and make a few fantastic garments to go with my new skinnies. Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteHi MimiG! I liked your Facebook page and subscribed to your blog by email. It would be a true blessing to win the $100 gift card. I would invest it in my jewelry business, Dream Jewelry to purchase more product and expand my brand to assist my mother. My mom is part of the reason I started the business she needs assistance due to her mental illness. Thank you! I hope I am the winner! :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I'd like to say that I am glad I found you because I use to follow you on YT. Second, congrats! Hmmm, with the $100 gift card I'd finally start the clothes I have patterns for. One is this dress that I wanna make, another is leggings for my daughter, away at college. *sniff sniff*
ReplyDeleteHi MiMiG.
ReplyDeleteI liked your Facebook page and subscribed to your blog by email. I would love to win the $100 gift card so I can invest it in my jewelry business, Dream Jewelry. I would purchase more product and use it for advertising in an effort to broaden my reach. My main goal is to assist my mother who suffers from a mental illness. She was my motivation to start my business! I hope I win! Stay fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI would buy new black slacks for the fall. Basics... gotta have 'em
ReplyDeleteI would finally buy myself something and not the little 3 buggers that call me mommy!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your milestone!! I would use the $100 to treat myself to some new clothes and shoes. Being a single mother I always do stuff for everyone else and would use the money to do something for myself. Mrs. Mimi, you are truly an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I saw your husband on a TV show I think the Mentalist last week and was so happy for your family. Much Success.
I would use a $100 gift card to buy a sewing machine so I could start doing some DIY. Besides sarting to make clothes like you (you have shown me that it's not as hard as I always thought), I would also make some drapes and floor cushions for my new apartment (I'm living alone for the first time ever!)
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteCongrats for the success!!! I so enjoy reviewing your blog everyday. Your style has truly been an inspiration to me because as a mother of a two year old girl I am always on the go and just don't take the time to put pieces together. With your blog I've become inspired and the simplest things as adding a ring or bracelet to my wardrobe has brighten up my day! What I would do with the money selfishly is get a massage. Take some much deserved me time so I can be as good as new for everyone around me.
Thanks,
Sophie S.
Congratulations on your milestone! Being a single mother I'm always doing things for everyone else that I forget to do something for me. I would take the money and buy me a new fall outfit and shoes. You are truly an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Corricia Wade here. 21 years old. Found out from PNP on facebook. First I will pay my tithes and offering! Then I will buy a few Fall/winter items for myself and whoever I think needs something because I love surprising others! My lovely mom's 50th birthday is coming up so she will definitely be in that number!!
ReplyDeleteCongradulations on the 1.4 million followers !!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the money I would put it towards a small anniversary vacation. We've been going through so much in 2 months that a small vacation would be a breath of fresh air. Every time we've been saving up for a vacation things have been hitting us left and right.
Hi Mimi! I would use $100.00 to purchase fabrics from the sources you have provided online and build on my DIY closet!
ReplyDeleteI would use it towards the purchase of a sewing machine. You have really inspired me to want to sew.
ReplyDeleteI am Kinia Johnson. If i won a $100 visa gift card i will give it to a friend that's less fortune. I am currently in University and everyday i meet lots of unfortunate people. i am a humanitarian and a philanthropist. I thank god for meeting these people because it teaches me to appreciate what i have and to share.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm going to Mood in NYC on October 6th, so it would definitely get used up there!!
ReplyDeleteOh Mommy, I mean Mimi, when I win the $100 gift card I will be going to the B&J Fabrics here in NY to buy a nice lightweight wool for the jacket I want to make for the fall season!

ReplyDeleteCongrats Mimi! I would love to use the gift card on some sewing essentials, but being on a single mom budget I believe it would be best saved & used for the upcoming holidays on my beautiful little 6yr old! Thanks for sharing in your accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi, I would use the $100 gift card to go towards buying my first ever sewing machine. Since visiting/following your website I have been so inspired to start sewing.
ReplyDeleteI have been toying with the idea of sewing my own clothes for a while now, when I came across your lovely DIY maxi + DIY wrap top, I decided I'm MUST start sewing! I researched a sewing class at the local college that is $105 and I'm signing up. If I won the gift card, the money would go towards the beginning of my DIY addiction. A big thank you to sharing your photos and inspiring me to finally take the plunge.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi! I'm a new follower, and I love your posts. I would use the $100 to buy fabric and notions to make some clothes (and maybe a purse) for myself! I recently found a pattern on ebay for a knit cardi that you've reviewed which I just love, and now all I need is to get my hands on some fabric to make some. I also have high hopes to get better with my sewing so I can do more advanced clothing like pants - some of the pants you've shown on your blog which you've made have really inspired me.
ReplyDeletei remember when i found your page a few months ago! So happy for you! love your style and continue the good work! God bless!
ReplyDeletei would definitely use the card to amp up my fall wardrobe! Materials and more to finally make the pieces i've been loving but on a budget!
thank you!
Hey Mimi! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog, so I'm not surprised that you have so many fans! You've inspired me to dust off my sewing machine and get back into it. Thank you so much for that. I found you on Pinterest and have read every single entry (it took me 2 weeks lol). If I won the $100, I would put it towards a Coach bag for my birthday. PLEASE keep blogging! xoxo

ReplyDeleteIf I won I would use the money to buy a sewing machine. Along with your DIY tutorials I will use it to help the Group Home that i work for start a class for the women who are interested in sewing. The women here are around my age (30) but because they're on limited fixed incomes due to their mental health they cannot always afford to buy new clothes. They always admire the way I look and I wish that I could help them. I think this would be an excellent way to show them how to value what they have and let them know that they could still be stylish even on a budget. Our self image is heavily rooted in how we look and winning this gift card would go miles in helping improve the image of these women.

Hi Mimi! I love your blog and started following it when I came across it FB via Fashion Plus. I love your style and your DIYs are inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing a sewing machine so I can start a few pieces myself, that's what I would put the gift card too! a new sewing machine!!
I wish you much success and keep, keep blogging!!
Hey MiMi,
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would love to start a new wardrobe for the fall, I would use the money to put groceries in my neighbors house for her children and use the rest to help her pay a bill.

I would use it by fabric and supplies. I received a sewing machine for Christmas, but have been too intimidated by it to really use it for anything. So it's sat collecting dust since then. But I watched your tutorial for the skirt and decided, surely a hem would not do me in. The hem is far from perfect, but I did it. I realized I afraid of a lot of things, but you have personally influenced my new mantra for life. "I'm no longer afraid anymore".
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI have recently started reading your blog and following you on facebook, so this is pretty exciting now to be able to win a gift card. I first saw your meet up on you tube and I got hooked. I made a maxi from a regular dress pattern I had because of your videos. I have been inspired and I thank you for that. If I won the gift card I would actually buy some fabric of my choice since everything I have has been given to me to learn with and I feel so guilty going out and buying new while I have this to use lol.
I wouldn't feel guilty if I had a gift card!
Hi Mimi,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I would like to say thank you for being such an inspiration to many. As a young girl growing up my mom would make clothing for my sister and I. Over the course of my life my mom has conquered many illnesses ranging from 3 back surgeries, brain surgery, 16 year breast cancer survivor and a recent overcomer of 2 strokes in less than month. My mom has always been my inspiration and though she does sew anymore due to vision and mobile complications from the strokes, it would be an honor to honor her sewing hobby by learning to sew. If I win the gift card I would definitely purchase your tutorials and purchase fabrics. My mom still has her machine and has given the rights to use to perfect something that she loved to do so much.
woot! woot! love this blog. started sewing again after almost a 20 yr hiatus so I would use the money as a downpayment on my serger!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAhhhh.... Sure wish I could win! I would definitely use it to buy my sewing machine that I am saving up for...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAAAAhhhhh... I would use it to buy my sewing machine that I have been saving up for...Hopefully I win!Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would order the skirt that is bright yellow, with the pockets and bow, I love it! I already subscribed :)
ReplyDelete1st off let me say huge congrats on 1.4 million views!!
ReplyDeleteI'd put the $100 towards opening my online shop. I'd buy supplies for the bags I plan to make and sell.
BTW...I'm following you on Bloglovin
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway (^_^)
I would definitely get my two sisters something extra nice for Christmas, especially the older of the two, my mum, is a single mother of three and I know she can't do everything and can't give us everything she would want to. My sisters are teenagers, and "girly girls" so I know at times they can only want, but can't get. So that would be my gift to them, as big sis. THERE IS NOTHING MORE SATISFYING THAN GIVING AND SEEING THE LOOK OF HAPPINESS ON SOMEONE'S FACE.
ReplyDeleteHi Mimi!!! I woulud use the $100 toward a new sewing machine that I have been eyeing for a while. I have an old singer model now that I used to learn on but it would be graet to have a new one that's not failing apart. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks to my mother who I’ve inherited a gift and fashion for DIY clothes. After seen all your skillful ideas and tricks to bring new life to old clothes I thank you. If I won’t the $100 I would invest it on my daughter’s clothes since she’s growing everyday sum clothes doesn’t fit her in a few weeks. As well as doing a few adjustments in my clothes as well :) thank you again and keep blogging.
ReplyDeleteHey Mimi!!! I found you on Pintrest a few months back and I just LOVE eveything that you do. I was one of those lucky enough to order the Maxi skirt w/sash and you were very accomidating and professional. I wish you continued success.
ReplyDeleteIf I won the $100 Visa gift card I would use it to purchase supplies so I can finally use the sewing machine that you inspired me to buy. My husband and I are in the process of adopting and I would love to make some dresses for my new baby girl who will be born soon.
Hi Mimi! Love your blog it has inspired me to start sewing again. Love the fact you are giving away $$. I would use this money toward gifts for the the kids I am sponsoring in foster care for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing!
Sherronda
Congrats are in order for breaking a million page views! Definitely a reflection of how great your blog is.
ReplyDeleteIf I win the $100 giftcard, I will put that money towards some fly fall knee length boots.
Mimi, believe it or not, it is my birthday today and I know what i would do with the $100.00. Buy more fabric for my stash and patterns, and anything sewing related until I had exhausted it and then some.
ReplyDeleteI already subscribe to your thread and I do not have facebook. I do follow you on Pinterest, Twitter, and Google currents though.
Oh yeah, and I would go to the sewing expo that is going to be in Kansas City in two weeks.
ReplyDeleteIf I won the money I would buy some supplies for my son's Head Start class (50.00) and spend the rest on myself at Goodwill.
