FABRIC FRIDAY!


I am completely in love with all things vintage or vintage inspired and when I heard of Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 collection I was all ears. To top it off, Fabricworm is giving away Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 fabric, Novelty Dots Red. I can just see bow ties and hair clips galore.

To enter for a chance to win one yard of Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 Novelty Dots Red tell us what you would make with this retro print. My first thought would be to make an accessory but I really have the itch to make napkins and throw a 50's themed party, jukebox and all. Leave your comment anytime between now and Friday, October 21st. Tweet, Stumble, or share on Facebook and leave another comment letting us now. Come back every day for new entries. We'll randomly select a winner and announce right here next Friday.

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




The winner of one yard of Doohickey Designs Fox Trails, Friends is...

My kids have been loving "Australia" at the zoos and museums, lately, so I'd say koalas, wallaroos, and kookaburras

Great choices, those names are so fun to say and would be perfect for an Outback themed fabric. Congrats! Please use the contact form to send us your address and Fabricworm will send off your prize!
