Hi everyone. Last night I wrote down your names (299 names) on a small piece of paper and Haru picked lucky winners.
Today I made packages for them all.
I enjoyed choosing one by one reading each comment.
The first prizes include a book, fabric scraps, stamp tags, trims, Sashiko threads and little extra.
The first winner for it is "The Burtons". I put a book of making clothes for kids.
The second winner is "Forêt". I put Sashiko threads for her (* v *)!!!!
The third winner is "Cathy". I put cute motif book and my favorite cotton linen fabric from SWANY.
The forth winner is "Susan". I put a book of beautiful embroidery and a little lemon charm.
The fifth winner is "Sheila". I put cute dog plush book and my favorite Lucien fabric.
The sixth winner is "Little Treasures". I put cute idea sewing book and my favorite green lace.
The last winner for the first prize is "Kristina". I put the book of cute plushes and my favorite flower printed fabrics.
Then, here are second prizes. I put Japanese paper items, fabric scraps, a piece of trim and little extra for each.
The seven winners for it are "Salihan", "Joan's Good Life", "trixi", "Erin", "ikaru", "Honeybeehill" and "Ravenhill".
I couldn't believe it when Haru picked the last name (Ravenhill) because I know her already.
I'll contact the winners through their blog or e-mail what I know. But I cannot access Forêt, Cathy and ikaru (I couldn't leave a comment on your blog!!!!).
If you read this, please send me your address to "maimairuru(at)gmail(dot)com".
I'm sorry for others but I enjoyed this giveaway at all. Thank you very much again for your entries.
This is the "arm covers(I'm still thinking of the name...)" with my arm. I forgot to ask Haru to take pictures so I tried them by myself.
Could you see how to use them?
I made this lunch box with my arm covers (* v *).
In next post, I can show you how to make the "arm covers".

Wow! Next time you have a giveaway - I am definitely entering! You are so generous.
As to the arm covers - those photos don't do them justice. Have Haru help you, maybe while you are making those delicious bento boxes. Yummy!
Looking forward to the tutorial.
Best!

A Danish legend :-) and she always wore this kind of sleeves when she was on television teaching the nation how to cook!
Congratulation to the very lucky winners!!!

It's been a pleasure to take part, you are simply adorable! Congrats to all the winners, lucky girls :-) !!!
Hello Mai! I am so excited to be one of the winners picked! I never win anything, and I am so happy your giveaway is the exception!
oooh I'm so so jealous! I can't wait to read your next post, I love your blog!
Congratulations to all the winners! The packages all look so nice. What a wonderful thing to do. The arm covers are very pretty and that lunch box looks yummy.
Congrats to all the winners. They certainly are going to receive many wonderful things! You're so generous, Mai :)
The lunch you made looks delicious and I can't wait to learn how to make the arm covers. All day yesterday I thought of making some for myself!
I remember children wearing these arm covers in France during world war two.It was to spare their cloth.Y.S
Congrats to the winners!
I love the arm covers Mai. I've never ever seen them before here in the USA. All I'm familiar with are aprons and pot holders, so that's an interesting concept. When you first showed them, I thought maybe there were only Japanese, but after reading the comments it sounds like they're everywhere! :)
What lucky winners. You are very generous Mai. Your arm covers look lovely on you and what a delicious lunchbox you packed.
It will be for next time... your prizes are wonderful and you are very generous!
Bye bye, taced
Mai: I was talking to my daughters about your blog and my oldest daughter came up with another name for your arm covers: Forearm Shields!!!!
I am really impressed by the beautiful give-aways you put together. Lucky winners!
I think arm covers are a brilliant Japanese invention. I have never seen them outside of Japan although they are great for protecting your clothes when cooking or gardening. Looking forward to the tutorial!
All the best for Tomatoe and you. I am 7 months pregnant and share your sense of excitement and happiness.
Oh, Mai, I 'm not the winner but It's ok, maybe next time. Congratulations for all the winner.
They are called sleeve protectors in the U.S.
Yea!!! Happy day! Thank you so much for the wonderful news! I am thrilled - you are the sweetest!
Your arm covers are so pretty. I adore those little stitches and thank you for sharing all that you do!
Hugs from emily xoxo
Wow Mai, what lovely packages you sent for prizes. Congrats to the lucky winners. Your sleeve protectors are a fabulous idea, and as with everything you make, look so cute! You've inspired me to spend more time hand sewing, and my little girl appreciates the new dolls clothes ;) Hello also to Haru and Tomato
These parcels are soo amazing. I can imagine the sheer happiness when the lucky winners open their mail.
Your lunch box looks really jummy. I'd love to see more of your bento boxes, if you feel like it.
