Cocktail Hour Blogger Tour


I'm really pleased to be taking part in The Cocktail Hour Blogger Tour, in support of the Eve Appeal, which is the only UK national charity raising awareness and funding research in the five gynaecological cancers – ovarian, womb, cervical, vaginal and vulval. Last year I took part in the Big Vintage Sewalong which was also organised by Butterick/Vogue for the Eve Appeal, and 'The Cocktail Hour' is the theme for 2017. The aim of the tour is to raise money through pattern sales and to raise awareness of cancers that affect women. Butterick have chosen a selection of their favourite Vogue Patterns suited to sipping cocktails. You can view the pattern selection here.

There are 26 bloggers taking part in the tour, which runs from this month until November. I will be posting in July, and the full blogger tour is listed below.

    I have chosen a pattern. Where do I purchase the pattern to make sure the funds go to the Eve Appeal. Great cause by the way and I look forward to seeing everyone's makes. Thank you for all your hard work ☺️

      Hi there - good question, Sew Tragic! I'm not sure if patterns sold through all vendors are included or not but if you use the Sew Direct link above (under 'You can view the pattern selection here') that will definitely be counted.
