Honour the Child
BTRT Patterns (on Etsy)

Congratulations to BETH!
This week's giveaway comes to us from amazing seamstress, Nikki, of Kobieta & Tadpoles & Butterflies. Niki creates her own designs and brings them to vivid life with perfect pairings of fabric with beautiful details and comfortable fit. For the plus size figure for business, casual, nursing, pregnancy and more!
I asked Nikki to tell me about Kobieta:
Kobieta is the polish word for Woman. My heritage is partially Polish and I thought the word flowed beautifully off the tongue and had an air of femininity to it while also representing a strength I feel all women possess. I had been sewing for children, for many years, successfully with my business Tadpoles & Butterflies. I began sewing for woman after my own personal frustration in finding stylish and well fitting clothes for a plus size figure. After talking with many women, of all sizes, I realized this was a universal problem regardless the size....finding that perfect fit that flattered their body type and satisfied personal tastes. I take great pride in the fact that approx 80% of my business is custom sized items that allow women to give me their personal measurements and have clothing made just for them. My motto has always been "Beautiful. Proud. Strong.....because size is not a style". I feel every woman should feel those words everyday and never have to worry if thier size matches a current style trend. With Kobieta....it will.
Style is such a matter of opinion.... but the runways are showing an interesting trend of mixing soft and flowing fabrics with a little punk edge and even '50's pin up girl touches. I think my favorite of these is adding little tail hems to skirts. Such a classic and eyecatching detail!
Family time at my house can be a little chaotic with 3 sons, but always in a good way. Loud and happy with a good dash of silliness. Family mealtime is very important to us and gives a chance to work together, chat and catch up from the day and enjoy some down time. We also set aside one night a week that is family game night and a time to just have fun without stressing about work or school. Phones and TV goes off and the board games come out!
::The Giveaway::
This Kobieta A-Line skirt is the perfect spring colors and style! Done in 100% cotton from the Free Spirit Sugar Snaps line with a bamboo viscose/lycra yoga style waist band. This type band ensures fantastic comfort and fit all day long. The A-Line cut for a skirt is a classic cut that is flattering for all figures as it gives clean straight lines with minimum bulk. This skirt is currently size 18/20, fitting up to 52 inch hip. I am allowing a semi-custom sizing for this giveaway meaning the skirt can be tailored down to the winners size if needed.

I adore the a-line skirt, I only have one and need more for sure. But, my fave is the side ruched top with the scoop neck. Love it, love it, love it. I love my gauchos too, lol.
my fave are her bustle skirts
I love her skirts and my favorite dress is the first one in her dress album. I have it in purple and adore it!

they are beautiful! all of her designs look so so beautiful and comfy.
oh and amatasick@gmail.com is my contact
I have been drooling over Kobieta skirts forever! It would be simply amazing to win this (and it's already in my size!)!
I love her A-line and 1/2 circle skirts...I couldn't begin to be able to pick a favorite fabric though, they're all so beautiful! Thank you for the chance to win this awesome giveaway :-)
I have several pieces from Nikki and love them all! I am expecting again though, so am very excited about getting a couple of yoga band skirts!!
I love her aline skirts and the 1/2 circle skirts. And I am currently drooling over the babydoll woven print tank tops.

That "Rick" above is actually Bj! ;) lol
I think a lot of these designs are great!
I like VLUU L200 / Samsung L200 best.
i am a plus-size woman who who just got down to an 18-30 and all my pants are falling off! how cool if I could win this!
Love, love, love Nikki's work! She is so sweet to work with.
I have to say, of all the wonderful clothes she makes, the one thing I would most like to add to my wardrobe is this style dress in a light or sky blue:
http://jalbum.net/browse/user/album/894463/;jsessionid=vkrjgcjgo1m91drye3iojj5el
I can't imagine it not being flattering on my body through pregnancy, nursing, and even when my body returns to a 'normal' shape. This style is truly made to make any woman look like a goddess.
Love the a-line skirts and the cross-over nursing top/dress! I wish I had half a dozen right now!
very cute.
I love the dresses, especially the pink and green ones.

wearing kobieta right now. :) my favorite design is the shirts with adjustable sides... a la http://jalbum.net/browse/user/album/894463/;jsessionid=vbo25ryn5edp1ckth9osbelxe
As much as the I love the gaucho pants in black (versatility and functionality for a SAHM) I'm in LOVE with that cute little yellow skirt!

I love the pants with the tree and moon on the leg. Gorgeous!
I love the gauchos - so comfortable and practical for mommies.
By far my favorite is the Poets Cardigan. I got them made for my mother in law and aunt in law this last Christmas. They are flattering and the flowing fabric hides many....uh rolls.

thanks for the opportunity to win one of nikkis amazing skirts! i love all of her designs, seriously i do, but if i have to pick one it would be the poets jacket (i think i heard it referred to as that) and the gauchos. i couldnt pick just one!
Love, love, love her skirts! The fabrics used are all gorgeous but what I like the most are the yoga style waists. I'm pregnant and the only thing that is comfortable to wear are the yoga style waist bands.

I was browsing the gallery and I LOVE the Custom Tuliped Dress - the color is great, the shape is so flattering, and it can be really hard for bigger girls to find sundresses with straps that will hide bras straps! Lovely!
