Congrats to Nissa! And I love the fact that you've hidden another givaway in this post. What a cute piece of fabric. I have a piece of linen I got from the remnant bin at Joann Fabrics that this would go well with. Maybe I could make a cute top for my own toddler. :)

So, my younger sister is having her second child...a girl...I have all nephews so a girl is a wonderful surprise! I'd love to use this fat quarter to make the new baby something sweet for her room-I'm sure she'd love the bright colors and handmade is always best! Thanks for the chance to win!!

yum, that would make a gorgeous summer skirt. Though not for me, there's no way I could wrap a fat quarter round my lard arse!

I just stumbled upon your blog, and am loving the tutorials! I am new to sewing and am enjoying the challenge of making things for my 2 daughters (haven't made anything for my son yet...dresses seem easier so far lol) and would love some new fabric to continue creating things!

Blogger Stacy said...

I've been hoping to get some new fabric- since all of my crafty creations have been made with the SAME color/style fabric for months now! I'm thinkin' everyone is SICK of seeing that fabric these days! So, I think I could justify having a new type of fabric to my hubby- especially if it's FREE! Thanks for the chance to win! :)

I love the fabric! So pretty! If I had anything good I'd trade you for it. But I don't keep anything of value (gold, jewels, weed, JK!) on me!

LOL Thanks for the chance to win!

Adorable fabric! I have rediscovered my long lost lonely sewing machine, after a three-year hiatus. My husband of one and a half years is wondering who the heck I am, sitting up sewing at all hours of the night!

I love this fabric! It looks like a future pillow case dress to me... (Pattern also listed on your web site!) Maybe with a cute red gathered up flower on one shoulder and a red ruffle? ;)
