FABRIC FRIDAY!


For this week we have Michael Miller, Bicycles Citron. Aren't bicycles fantastic for Summer and Fall beyond? What would you make with a yard of this beauty if you won? I'd make a pair of PJ shorts to wear on my trip to MEXICO next week! Eeep! It was a last minute invite for a MEXICO TWEET-UP #wevisitmexico (as the kids would say.) Follow us on twitter @prudentbaby to see if they have managed to drag me out of a lounge chair to do something adventurous. It might happen.

Leave comments on any and all posts this week, we will pick our fave next Friday and announce the winner of this gorgeous yard right here.

Find out who won last week's Fabric Friday after the jump...


the Oh-So-Pretty Amy Butler Lotus, Lacework Brown goes to:

Oh wow. This makes our small, barren deck that needs power washing look really sad. Okay, I'm moving in with you! Don't worry, I'll stay in the backyard...
I totally agree. I want to live in Jaime's yard too. And look in her window while she is sleeping. And try on her hats while she is in the shower (like I did in Salt Lake City.) HA

Go ahead and use the contact form to send us your address and Fabricworm will send off your prize!

I love that Michael Miller fabric! If I were to get my hands on it, I would use it to make one of your striped grommet curtains (I have just the sheet). I am currently moving my two boys (aged almost-three, and 14 months) in together, and shifting my daughter (almost 8) into the smaller room. There is going to be a lot of craftiness going on if I want this to go smoothly!

I would probably use this awesome michael miller fabric as part of a quilt I am making for my friend as a memorial of her cousin. I did not know it came in this color! I have only seen the blue and pink before. I must stalk the Micheal Miller website more often!

I would like to thank you ladies very much for introducing me to fabricworm (sarcasm)! It's like when I first learned about Pinterest! I really don't need something else to fawn over, but oh well. I seriously spent 2 hours on their site last night looking at everything! I think their website is a little like crack, you just want more and more! Not that I know anything about crack! But seriously, thank you. I ordered some beautiful fabrics that I will be using to make a wedding gift with. Thanks again!

LOVE it! My husband is a serious biker, but I can't think of anything to make him that wouldn't look too little-boyish. A pillow would be adorable, but men don't seem to appreciate throw pillows. Maybe he'd like a john-john.

I love the bikes! I think I would make a romper for my son with it. Too bad I couldn't also make one for my husband - he's the one who HAD to buy a new bike so the baby bike seat would fit.

That bicycle fabric reminds me of of some navy blue fabric my mother made a jumper for me when I was little. It had red and white bicycles on it.

My little girl would love a dress made from that. She loves bikes, and she loves to yell "bike" when she sees one. It could prove to be a wonderful distraction for her. Or a very annoying outfit for the rest of us.

I think I'd make a cross body pouch I can wear when I cycle. I need to keep my GPS and ID on me and how cool would it be to have my bag be made with this rockin' fabric.

My father in law is a bike FREAK (I say that most lovingly) and I'd make some sort of sandwich wrap or bag with this print. Something insulated to hold his lunchbox inside without leaks.

This fabric rocks! I would use it to make something for my little guy (4 yo) who is lately jealous at times that "boys don't get cute things." Just this morning he wanted to know why I don't "EVER" get him anything when he saw his 2 yo sister's pretty espadrilles sandals and I said I do, see I got you those ones, he said "but boys things aren't special." That just about broke my heart :(
I really do have a hard time finding nice prints for boys that aren't licenced characters and aren't too "babyish" for his grow-ing up taste :)

my husband is an avid cyclist, and commutes to work by bike. since we're a one car family, it means he rides his bike in, regardless of the weather. i would use this to make him a custom lunch bag that fits perfectly into his bike bag, to make it easier to get his lunch to and from work. with the remaining, i would make a little pouch for his wallet and cell phone for his long weekend rides.

My husband is hitting mid-life crisis time and trying to convince me that he "needs" a new $4000 bicycle. Maybe if I win this fabric he'll be satisfied with a new pillow. Maybe not. Darn!

How cute! My 6 year old daughter is struggling to learn to ride her bike. I would make her a congratulatory gift when she masters this difficult task! Perhaps a cool pillow- she's into throw pillows for her bed or a backpack to wear while riding her bike- you know, to carry all of her treasures ;)

This Michael Miller, Bicycles Citron would make a very cute Back Sack to wear while Bicycling. My mom makes a very cute one with adjustable straps so either a child or adult can wear. Hers are also fully lined and machine washable. She also can make it with an outside pocket for a water bottle.

Eek! I love this fabric but I haven't seen this colorway yet! I've been meaning to pick up a few yards of the blue on grey for a great sleeveless dress to wear while I bike around the army post I live on. I desperately need to combat the farmer's tan I developed biking all spring. I love this colorway even more than the blue and I would absolutely print off Collette's sorbetto top for this!
