To cheer up your Monday morning, I have a wonderful giveaway for you today. It comes courtesy of Louise from Sew Scrumptious, who recently started up her online fabric and sewing store. You may remember Louise's name from this post, when I made two dresses for the Dress a Girl Around the World charity that she's involved with. Anywaaaay, she now has a gorgeous online shop - Sew Scrumptious Fabrics, where she sells a carefully chosen range of quirky and contemporary fabrics and sewing goodies. Here are a couple of my favourite picks…
I love this fabric. I've made countless half aprons and purses with it to sell at craft fairs and it's always popular. I can also see it working as a fab, 1950's-style dress, Dolly Clackett style!

| Springtime in Paris by Michael Miller |
I'm drawn to this one simply because it reminds me of my husband's wedding tie.

| Groovy Guitars by Michael Miller |
And this one caught my eye because it just looks plain bonkers! If you half close your eyes, it almost looks like a 1930's print (sort of!) The pandas are only tiny (2cm) - I'd love to make a 1930's blouse with it and see how long it takes people to notice them!

| Pandas by Sevenberry |
I could go on (and on and on) but I'm sure you'd prefer to get back to the giveaway... One lucky winner will win this lovely vibrant FQ bundle of Blend fabrics, all from the Paisleigh Collection by Maude Asbury.
But that's not all! Louise is also very generously offering the winner a metre of fabric of their choice, hoorah! To enter the giveaway all you have to do is take a look at Sew Scrumptious Fabrics and leave a comment on this post telling me which fabric you'd choose if you won. The giveaway is open internationally and closes at midnight GMT on Sunday 1st December. The winner will be chosen at random.
Thank you to Louise from Sew Scrumptious Fabrics for such a generous giveaway. Good luck everybody! x

ReplyDeleteI like Blythe (Park), those roses are the perfect antidote to winter!

Alchemy, but I would need to buy 2 more metres, so that I can make a fabulous dress.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, another great fabric shop… why would you do this to us? ;)

How can you be so cruel? Pick just one fabric? I have to keep going back and looking.But I think I shall plump for The Sweetest Thing (Blue)
ReplyDeleteHugs

Looking for a great fabric for my grandson's quilt --- and found it: Funbots (celebration). Just right for a young man!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be in the giveaway, which is extraordinarily generous, but I did want to say how wonderful that panda fabric is! Living where I do - Adelaide, where our zoo is home to the only pair of pandas in the southern hemisphere and it's a big deal and we have lots of panda-related souvenirs and so on - I'd definitely feel bound to pick the panda fabric.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for funbots
ReplyDeleteOH.....too many to choose only one! Either doggy dog park or Brooklyn Debi (Black). :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be a tough call between, Tortoise, Norweigen Wood Deer or Tortoise. I'd make a bow neck blouse or Laurel top with collar. Spoilt for choice. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love Friendly Seas (Ocean)!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of fabrics! Thanks for sharing, I'd not been to that website before. If I won a metre I would choose Blythe (park)
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Robert Kaufman Blythe (Park) fabric - those bold red and pink roses on the vibrant background, great for a summer skirt I think? But there are many lovely fabrics to choose from here; best of luck to Louise with her new online business.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! It would be so hard to choose if I won, but in the end I think I would have to go back to your pick of the springtime in Paris one!
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on briar rose for awhile. I also really like the doggy dog park! Great site!

ReplyDeleteThey're all much too cute, but If I had to pick I would go with the Collage (Cream). Birdies! Spots! Too adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the collage in cream too! Either that or the Mon Amie in blush.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd take any of them!!! So hard to choose just one, but if I have to I think it'll be Mon Ami in Multi.
ReplyDeleteWhat a choice !! And not an easy one, Village green trees-blue for me I think.
ReplyDeleteThis was a no brainer for me!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at the Hello Tokyo Patchwork (Sweet) for a while now for a new laptop cover!!!!!

I looked for ages but I think the retro rocket rascals, my son has asked me to sew something for him and this reminds me of a ride we went on in Disney when we visited earlier this month, he would be chuffed to have them

ReplyDeleteMost definitely spring time in Paris, mon ami!
ReplyDeleteOh my, there are so many delicious fabrics to choose from. If you held me down and insisted I choose I'd have to say Paris Ville. But it pains me to choose this over others. I guess I'd better get my card out and start spending!! Thanks for the chance to win a give away. Merry Christma
