Hello, Readers!
“I feel like celebrating – cheers!” – Baroness Schraeder
To celebrate passing 1,000 Facebook fans of Edelweiss Patterns, I am holding a pattern giveaway here on the blog for one “Liesl’s Dancing Dress” pattern! When I first started drafting the Sound of Music inspired dresses years ago, I had no idea that so many other Sound of Music fans would find Edelweiss Patterns and share their enthusiasm for the classic movie’s costumes with me. It has been a joy to work on the various patterns over the last few years, and I’m excited to hold a giveaway this week! (Oh, and please be sure to head over to our Facebook page and “like” it if you haven’t already.)
1. In order to enter the giveaway drawing, simply share the link to this giveaway or to the Liesl’s dress pattern on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, and leave a comment below with a link to the post you shared! (One entry per social media account.)
2. The other way you can enter this giveaway is to answer all the questions to this epic “Sound of Music Trivia Quiz” (below) correctly! If you get all eight questions right on the first try, do leave an additional comment below with your name stating that you got all the answers correct. (I can see on my end who passed the quiz, so no cheaters will slip through the cracks. ;))
It is worth noting that this Sound of Music quiz is not for the faint of heart. I am rather expert on the subject, as I can quote the entire film from memory, complete with the songs, accents, and dances… so don’t feel badly if you don’t know all the answers! Since I have written this quiz myself, I kindly ask that you not copy the questions onto any other blog, website, or Sound of Music fan site. (All content on this blog is copyright by Edelweiss Patterns and may not be reproduced.) After the giveaway has ended next week, I will try to give a detailed explanation of each question listed on the quiz. So without further ado, let the games begin!

If one week after we have contacted the winner for a mailing address, we still have not received a response, the first winner will become ineligible and a new winner will be selected and notified.
So long, farewell!

Hello Katrina, I’ve been enjoying your blog immensely and happened upon the Sound of Music quiz. Although I don’t really consider myself a Sound of Music expert, I answered all eight question correctly! Thanks for sharing your God-given talents and creativity with others.

I purchased this pattern about 3 years ago and made it for the local theater which has put on Sound of Music for 20 years. This year because professional company is coming to my state, Washington, to put on the play our small theater company cannot get the rights to put it on. It is totally nuts. The production company would more than likely not come to our town, Leavenworth. I shared the post on facebook If I was to win it I would pass it along to my fried who played Leils for a couple of years. She is also a master seamstress and hope her little girls will one day be in the SOM.
I completed the quiz and got 8 out of 8 and shared this contest on pinterest. How fun!
I got all 8 Questions right! I was almost stumped on one of them, but I remembered the answer just before I clicked off.

Got all eight! Love singing the songs with my boys and love this pattern!
I pinned it! 🙂
Would enjoy sewing such a neat challenge. 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH, Ladies, to each of you for entering and for sharing! 🙂 I was surprised that several of you got every answer on the quiz right! That was no small feat. I’ve posted the winner (Bethany) on the most recent blog post. Bethany, check your inbox for an email from me! 🙂
Happy sewing, everyone!
Katrina
I love your patterns, I hope you can come up with a pattern for Liesl’s dress during the scene where they sing edelweiss. It’s just so pretty 🙂
Thanks for reading,
Larissa
Hi Larissa!
Thank you for the comment. As a matter of fact, I have made the dress for Liesl’s Edelweiss dress, but I haven’t had time to draft it in all the sizes yet. I’m considering just sharing pictures of the dress itself without the pattern made, but I’m not quite sure yet. 🙂
Happy sewing!
Katrina
I am the costume designer for our community theatre for the Sound of Music. Your designs so inspired mr. They are lovely
That is wonderful, Patti! I’m so glad you are enjoying the patterns! 🙂
Happy sewing,
Katrina
Beautiful dress!
