Ginger and Louise Pattern Review & Giveaway!!!

 I'm lovin' this sweet Ruffle Skirt from Ginger and Louise Pattern Co.!
It came together in a snap and is so stinkin' cute I'm gonna have to make another!

I think this would be a perfect pattern for a beginner seamstress who would be so happy with the results they would be encouraged to sew more! The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, many experienced tips included and there are also lots of photos to provide a visual aid as you sew. I love that!
She is also expanding the size ranges and even beginning to create some ladies patterns as well, so more sewing fun to come!
Ginger and Louise wants you to have a chance to make your own lovely creation from one of their patterns too, so the owner/designer behind this darling pattern shop, Laura, has generously offered a giveaway to Hopeful Threads friends! Thanks Laura!!!
Not just one of you, but THREE of you have the chance to win your favorite pattern e-book from her shop!

    That Coco Dress is pretty sweet. I've been a a long time fan of these gals on Etsy and I remember when she first took the plunge into writing patterns.
