It’s spring cleaning here and I went through my personal stash of good stuff and figured it would be a great time for me to share some Ottobre love with you all.
What’s Ottobre you say? Well, it’s a Finnish magazine (written in English) that is loaded with patterns for kids from baby up to those tween years. They also have a women’s version, but both are published quarterly.
The awesome part is that the patterns are loaded with details, you could probably learn every garment sewing technique if you sewed your way through these magazines. I’d say there for an intermediate type sewist, or someone who isn’t afraid to try new things! I had subscribed to the magazine a few years ago and have yet to complete a garment from the magazines, so I figured they might get a lot more love from one of you! These magazine retail for almost $14 dollars a piece (and if you’re curious you can purchase some here at Pink Chalk Fabrics).
Oh, and if you’re digging the fabrics they use in the magazines, you can buy some at their etsy shop, they have a few magazines listed, too!
Please tell your friends to enter, tweet, blog, pin, facebook and spread the word!!
Ready to enter?
- Two winners will be chosen, each will pick two (2) of their choice as shown (yep, I’m keeping one for myself, just for fun). The first winner I draw gets first pick.
- Just leave a nice comment! One entry per person. Please leave your email address in your comment. You can leave it in a format like this if you wish: anna [at] gmail [dot] com, it’s up to you though, if you have your email listed in your blogger profile, that works too!.
- Open to international entries.
- Giveaway ends Wednesday, April 25th at 10pm (central time).
jeg elsker deres blad og håber jeg kan være heldig i din give away 🙂

I just got my first Ottobre a month or so ago and I’ve been having to strongly resist buying more so this would be amazing. Thanks for making it International too.
What a great giveaway! I’ve heard so many good things about Ottobre but never dared to buy one myself.

What a fun giveaway, thanks! I’ve seen the magazine mentioned in blogs, but never have seen a photo of a copy or one in real life. Looks cute, and I’d love to take my garment sewing skills up a notch. Thanks!
My daughter (13 years old) and me are both great fans of ottobre, the womens version for me, the kids version for my daughter. Yes, it’s one of the “more expensive” sewing mags, but they’re investments, good basic patterns. I would like to win a few extra issues, or even one would be nice.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Thanks for these great giveaway, Love your blog and your patterns.

I am Finnish and would *love* to be able to gift one of these magazines to my aunt who loves to sew! I think she would have a blast sewing for my cousin’s children.
And who can beat the link to our heritage. Thanks for sharing this awesome magazine!

Wow! This magazine looks really interesting. I’ve got two little girls I’m wanting to do more sewing for. I’m just not that happy with what I’m finding in the stores. This would be a great resource for inspiration and the patterns are a HUGE bonus. So nice of you to share these.
