After running a whole WEEK of daily giveaways for One Week, One Pattern, I vowed to take a bit of a break from giveaways for a while. All was going swimmingly until I was offered the chance to give away some Hemingway Design fabric. I fell hard for this lovely mid-century inspired collection as soon as I clapped eyes on it, so how could I deny my readers the opportunity of owning a metre? The answer was, I couldn't, so it's giveaway time!
The giveaway came about when Tracy from Trixie Lixie contacted me after reading my post on the fabrics. As well as a giveaway for my readers, she very kindly offered to let me choose fabric from the collection to make something fabulous with. Oh joy of joys! Trixie Lixie stocks the full collection, which actually makes the job of choosing one even harder. In the end I went with one of my original favourites - Duck Egg Grid - which will be swiftly turned into a shirt dress come spring.
The full collection comprises 29 designs, some of which I hadn't even seen when I wrote my first post. Here's just a taster of some of the colours and patterns used:
I can tell you first hand that the fabric is a lovely, soft cotton, which I think will be perfect for dressmaking. The colours and patterns have a really authentic vintage feel too, they'd be great made up into a fifties inspired shirt dress or a cute blouse. Or even cushions to add a fifties flavour to your couch!
To enter the giveaway, all you have to do is look at the Hemingway Design Collection on the Trixie Lixie website and leave a comment on this post telling me which one is your favourite. The winner will receive one metre of Hemingway Design fabric of their choice. The giveaway is open internationally and closes at midnight GMT on Monday 10th November. Please make sure you leave your email address if it's not linked to your Blogger profile so I can contact you if you're the winner.
A big thank you to Trixie Lixie for the giveaway and good luck everybody! x
Hard to choose but maybe the duck egg texture fabric? Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWow great giveaway!! After never really wearing green I recently discovered it actually suits me so the Hemingway Designs Green Pink Tulips fabric would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery cool fabric, and thanks for the chance to win a metre of it. I think my favourite is Light Green Fleck fabric, although it's a hard decision to make.
ReplyDeleteit's a tough choice! they are all so lovely (as the hours i have spent lusting over them in john lewis will testify!). i like duck egg twigs.
ReplyDeleteLove them all but yellow grey tulips are my favourite!
ReplyDeleteI love these, and there are some I haven't seen before. I like the threads designs but my favourite is probably the twigs in red. I do live for stripes!
ReplyDeleteTough choice, they are all so beautiful but think it has to be the blue flack fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet opportunity! I think the duck egg twigs is nice. : )
ReplyDeleteBrick red pink texture fabric is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBrick red threads fabric all the way!! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and green textures fabric is definitely my favourite! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for organising the giveaway Jane :) I'm also a duck egg blue fan, but I think I'd go for the twigs design.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue fleck! It reminds me of the great DVF wrap dresses from the 70s.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE <3 the pink green tulips design :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking through these... When we renovated the bathroom in my very old Queenslander, a few years ago, the wall coverings we found behind the mounted mirror were incredibly similar to "light green fleck" except in the softest shade of purple. I think I might have to acquire a few metres either way, for sentimental reasons.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely partial to the Hemingway Designs Duck Egg Grid fabric - thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway, thank you to both yourself and Trixie Lixie. My choice would be either blue and green tulips or the blue fleck.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue green tulips (and lots of the others!)
ReplyDeleteThe blue fleck needs to be in my life!

ReplyDeleteOoo! What a great giveaway! I was tempted by your previous post, and may have already bought some of that lovely duck egg grid... Ahem. The brick red twig caught my eye - thank you for the chance of winning!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane. As you have already chosen the Duck Egg grid ;0) I think my choice would be the Duck Egg (I love that colour) Threads. I can see a wonderful Summer Skirt in that fabric.
ReplyDeleteOff back to Trixie's Shop to see what else is on offer.

I was just looking around the Trixie Lixie site at Hemingway when you offered the give away. I love the Green Pink Tulips.
ReplyDeleteI've admired these in John Lewis but could never bring myself to spend £20+ when I've got quite a stash at home. But if I won it then it'd be allowed... ;) I think the yellow grey tulip is my favourite.
