Open to current subscribers and those that are yet to subscribe!
Crafty Mamas has now been associated with Ottobre Design as their Australian wholesale agent and stockist for going on six years. In fact, we were instrumental in bringing Otto back to Aus after is was no longer available in newsagents. Otto helped to shape us and in a way, help make Crafty Mamas what is it today!
Ottobre Design has given us access to beautiful, trendy ( affordable!) quality patterns with an emphasis on quality, eco conscious fabrics. Their instructions are often full of industrial style tips to help us sew even better. In short, I think Otto have revolutionized the way we sew. And Crafty Mamas is very proud to be associated with them.
Do you subscribe to Otto?
Leave me a comment for your chance to win this fantastic Giveaway!
Closes May 25th.
Good Luck!

I have been sewing from Ottobre magazines for almost six years now. I used to subscribe but with three kids I can now only afford to buy individual issues that really appeal to me. I really love the sense of community that has built up around Ottobre and belong to a Yahoo group and Flickr group devoted soley to talking about making stuff out Ottobre patterns. :)
Wow, who can resist this generous give away. Thanks for that, Lisa!
oh, i want it, i neeeeed it! oh, i so want it. :) theresa xx
Oooooh, an Otto sub! Fabulous giveaway. Thank you.
What a great prize...pick me, pick me!!
hooray for crafty mama! I love otto!
oh yes please!
Oh what a generous giveaway, please count me in, I've always wanted to try Ottobre because the clothing always looks so adorable, so I simply can't pass up an opportunity like this! Thank you for the comp!
I'm not sure if you need to be current subscriber to enter, kick me if that's the case! (As I'm not but wish I was!) :D
I'm a very recent Otto convert, and my life is a million times better for it! I have a skinny 3 year old that commercial clothes rarely fit, and in Ottobre I've been able to find patterns that not only fit him like a glove, but are very cool :D I've made him 2 pairs of jeans and will be making more! (Including a pair for my friend who has the same problem!) My beloved issue of Otto has already paid for itself twice over - brilliant value - and I love having the power to sew clothes that fit my kids perfectly!
Love it - even if I couldn't sew, I'd buy it for the pictures!
I have used the Ottobre kids' 'best t-shirts' pattern which is fabulous but never had one of the magazines. Please enter me in the draw, thanks!
excellent giveaway lisa!! tq so much...i've been sewing otto from the time i started sewing in 2008 n i love it!! :)
Oh yeah! Otto sub!! I can see this one being a popular giveaway - thanks for the opportunity to enter Lisa!
Ooh I'd love to be in the running to get this - I am dying to try some of the Otto women's stuff - rather than just things for the kids.
Wow, GREAT giveaway Lisa, have wanted to subscribe for awhile but just haven't got around to it. Thanks for a chance to win a fabulous subscription.
Awesome giveaway!
I've just sewn my first Ottobre item on the weekend and I'm in love!
I only recently discovered Ottobre but I am in love with issue I have! Thanks for the awesome giveaway. Jennifer
thanks for your generosity ....I have been eyeing these up but haven't been able to justify a subscription yet.
I love Otto. The day it arrives I love curling up and flicking through it over and over and over again.
LOVE Ottobre, although I havent yet got past the kids magazines- theres never time to sew for myself!
Thanks for the chance :D
Ooooh Yay, I couldn't resubscribe to Ottobre this year due money issues but I adore the patterns and love the womens patterns the most!
They fit so nicely.
Great giveaway, thanks so much,
Mel
wow - thanks for the chance to win this and for being so generous. I'd like to have a go at sewing more for my kiddies (0,2,4,6yrs).
Love Ottobre, subscribed recently and love when they arrive. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Ottobre! I have the current 3/2011 issue and I'm in looooove. I was thinking of getting a subscription, so winning this would be perfect. :D
I recently got my first sub to Ottobre and I love it! This is a fabulous giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
A comment. I'm leaving you a comment. :p
You know how I feel about Ottobre. I own every English issues plus a few more!
Would love to be in the running, had to cancel my sub as I couldn't afford all the subs I had going and at the time my sewing mojo had disappeared. It's coming back though; just cut out a few tops for me from the first women's Ottobre.
Great competition Lisa, I love Otto!
I would love to win because I don't have any Ottobre! I have seen it before and wished I had it though .;)

Great prize! Thank you!
I've heard about Ottobre mags on blog land and in forums but have yet to see one in real life. The patterns are definitely very distinctive. Very generous of you with the giveaway.
Just starting to sew, as I want to be able to make my own clothes, and upcycle some old ones. Looks like a fab mag. Thanks for the chance.
Oh!! I was just playing with the idea of subscribing! This would be the 'sign' to give it a go!

I have bought recent issues of Ottobre design and have found the patterns to be effective and actually fit!

I'm really sorry if this is going to appear twice, but my comment just disappeared.
I currently subscribe to Otto. I LOVE it.
I have two gorgeous girls aged 4 and 3 and I sew ALL the time. I am always on the lookout for contemporary, well-designed and child-friendly patterns so I was very excited to discover Ottobre and I am eagerly awaiting my first delivery in the mail, to see if it lives up to all the raves. I recently blew my household budget on a cover stitcher, so I need some great projects to alleviate my guilt!!
Wow, what a lovely giveaway! We only sew from Otto at this house :) THE greatest sewing magazine!
I don't subscribe to Otto but I think I want to. I would love to win this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!!
I've been buying Ottobre since when it was available in newsagents here and LOVE it. in fact i really don't use any other patterns (even though i occasionally succumb to buying them ;))
Awesome, what a great read!
Thank you for the opportunity;)
