GIVEAWAY: Sewing with Oilcloth
Jaime and I love to work with oilcloth/laminated cotton and we are thrilled to see more and more beautiful patterns popping up from all the hot fabric designers. And how about chalkboard cloth? What a brilliant invention! So yes, oilcloth is awesome but it can also be tricky to work with because it has it's own set of rules. What foot do I use? Can I iron it? All your oilcloth questions are answered in Kelly McCants new book Sewing with Oilcloth: 20 patterns that make sewing with oilcloth easy, fresh and fun. Kelly can also be found at Oilcloth Addict and Modern June. So you can pretty much say that Kelly wrote the book on oilcloth, literally and figuratively.
Read on to see more of Sewing with Oilcloth and learn how to win a copy. The winner will also receive a little bundle of oilcloth packed up by Kelly herself!
Get comfortable with the supplies needed to make oilcloth easy... and some tricks to go without the supplies!
Love these storage bins, I could use a few of these in every room of the house.
oilcloth bias tape! So easy, who knew?
And a "man project" that a man might actually use. Fantastic!
Love the detailed illustrations for each project.
To enter to win a copy of this lovely book to add to your sewing library, leave a comment here telling us if you have tried oilcloth/lam. cotton/chalkboard cloth.What did you make? What do you want to make? Or just tell Kelly she is awesome. Whatevs!
Facebook, tweet & Stumble this giveaway and leave an extra comment for each. Come back and enter every day. Don't be shy. We love your comments! Giveaway ends September 14th. A randomly selected winner will be announced here on Prudent baby.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 256 of 256
I would love to own this book! I want to make a lunch bag and sandwich wrap/ snack bags. I'd love to make a wallet too :)
Never used oilcloth before but would love to try! A lunchbox for my son sounds like a easy first project
Never tried sewing with oil cloth, would love to learn how.
wanting to back a patchwork picnic blanket with oilcloth for wet grass...just can't find the right oilcloth!
Somebody mentioned book covers for cookbooks--great idea!
I have never worked with oilcloth or anything like it. I have always wanted to though. You can make such cool, useful things with it. Getting a book like this would be awesome to make sure when I start that I don't mess it up!
I love oilcloth and tried to make some placemats but it was before I 'got' binding so I abandoned the project and just cut the placemats and they lay as is on the table because they don't fray! I hope to venture working with it again, because it's so cool!
I have never sewn with oilcloth. Would like to try it. Amy @ gasudimack@sbcglobal.net
I love looking at it but I haven't tried ANYTHING with oil cloth. It's about time!
I tweeted! I'm vt_ellen
Ooo, I've been wanting to make myself a lunch sack out of oilcloth but I can't find any around town! It's a small town... I really want to check this book out!
I haven't tried oilcloth and my mother wants an oilcloth for her dining table. Would be great to win the book and sample so can learn how to work with oilcloth prior to a big project. Thanks for the chance.
Never worked with any of them before, but have bought some chalk cloth to make a gift. Love to have the book for all the info. and plan on checking out the shop to see all the patterns.
I have not used oil cloth before (although I have been admiring it since I learned to sew a few years ago) but now since I am about to have a baby I am thinking about making a few changing pads out of it.
I have always wanted to try oil cloth and make storage bins.
I have alway been afraid to use oilcloth but I really want to! I want to make reusable snack bags for kids lunch but not sure how to work with it I'd love to grab this book!
I just got some laminated cotton last month planning to make a diaper bag with it. this books look awesome!
I'm always looking for things to make for guys, they're so hard to sew for, so I'm excited to see the manly project!
I've never tried working with oilcloth although I would love to. I feel intimidated by it...
I've never made anything with oilcloth but it sounds fun.... I like the 'vintage' appeal. Would love to win the book!
I tweeted today @Lealee33
Ive not really worked with oilcloth before so this would be fun for me. I am really liking the book covers that you make and Id like to try to make one for my Bible. :)
Tweeted!!!

I have used oilcloth, I made a lunch bag. The book looks fabulous, would love to have it in my craft library!
This book looks gorgeous and fun! I was just thinking about trying an apron in oilcloth.... industrial strength is what we need around here! :)
that chalkboard cloth is hot!
I needed this book last week! I made an oil cloth lunch sac for my little girl! She loves it, but it wasn't as easy to sew with as I thought! Can't wait to get my hands on this book! You girls are making my Christmas list longer and longer! ;)
haven't tried yet, but would love to
I have some oilcloth that I purchased earlier this year, but I haven't made anything yet. I would love to make some bibs and other easy to clean items for my 4 month old twins. This book would be soooo helpful for that.
Anyone have a good online source for oilcloth? When I asked at my local fabric store, they said all they had was flocked vinyl, as if that was the same thing.
I've never worked with oilcloth before, but I'd love to make a make-up bag for myself, and maybe a toiletries bag for the hubs!
I have never used oilcloth, but would like to give it a try. I always admire from a distance, but am somewhat intimidated :)
Great giveaway, thanks. I have no idea what I would sew, but Kelly sure ir great! Ana
I've never sewn with oilcloth before, but would love to try! I would love to make some of those storage bins with it.
I love your reusable snack bag in oil cloth!

KELLY...you are awesome..just sayin :)
I'm practising my handwriting...it's always so hard to write prettily on a chalkboard - is it the same on chalkboard fabric?
oilcloth - yes, please!
Never used it but would love to learn how!
The more I think about it, the more I want it!
Once more for good measure...
Love all the ideas listed!! So much creativity!
I recovered the seat cushions of some vintage soda fountain chairs in red oilcloth with white polka-dots. I loved those chairs!
so fun!! I tried the chalk board oil cloth, but didn't work well with normal chalk. Had to use those fancy smancy chalk pens! :)
I have never worked with oilcloth but really want to try it! Quite frankly it scares this novice sewer!
Posted on FB!
I have used oilcloth to make a splat mat for my dog's bowls. Perfecto for all that slurping and sloshing of h2o!
I would love this book. I have not yet used oil cloth but I really would love to. I want to make a booster seat for my daughter with oilcloth.
I put this on Stumble upon, great giveaway, thank you!!
I've never used oilcloth. That's why the book would be great!
