Backwoods Mama Spring Sew Camp Giveaway!

Today I am welcoming Kathy of Bliss Beyond Naptime to the blog as a new sponsor for April. I know it's not April until tomorrow, but I wanted you all to get in on the goods right away! Kathy is a wonderfully funny, bliss filled, crafty mama living her dream in the backwoods of British Columbia with her hubby and two kids and their new little puppy Angel. Oh and let's not forget their cow Miss Daisy.

I've talked about Kathy before when I did a giveaway of her book The Bliss Filled Mama if you haven't checked that out you absolutely should! It will make you a happier mama in minutes! I swear. 

Kathy has created this awesome online sewing class for advanced beginners called Backwoods Mama Sew camp and is letting me give one of you lucky readers a spot in the class for free! Before I give you the giveaway details, let Kathy tell you more about the class. 
Want to learn all the tricks I know on how to create a core wardrobe from scratch? This is my four-week sew camp re-released as an ongoing adventure for the Backwoods Mama or those who just want to look like one! This course will walk you though the steps to sew your own gear to wear while you tackle the garden, midwife the mama cow, clean out the root cellar and all the other chores calling for your attention at this busy time of year.
Please note this sew camp is intended for the advanced beginner.  Basically, you will need to be familiar with your sewing machine and be comfortable with some garment construction for I won't be going over the absolute beginner basics. Instead, I will be teaching you the tricks I know on how to sew up quality pieces on a limited time. Because, you see,  I have these things called rug rats that call for easy and quick sewing projects!
Through plenty of video and photos, I will walk you through the steps to build a fresh mix and match wardrobe that will consist of four pieces that meet the practical needs of us busy back to the land matriarchs yet also meet our equally important need to look organically stylish and cute.
The projects include: 

I totally want to make the apron for gardening and the dress so lovely.

Thank you Kathy you're awesome! Want to get to know Kathy better, look for my "In Her Shoes" Interview coming up in April. For now you can follow her blog here or follow her on twitter @kathystowell .
