FABRIC FRIDAY!


Let's get back to basics with Robert Kaufman's Yarn-Dyed Essex Linen Flax. With all the adorable printed fabrics you always seem to be adding to your collection it's easy to forget a basic linen. Save yourself a trip to the store and enter for the chance to win a yard of your own.

To enter for a chance to win one yard of Robert Kaufman's Yarn-Dyed Essex Linen Flax tell us your favorite go-to basic to wear. My Levi jeans take the cake on this one.

Tweet, Stumble, or share on Facebook and leave another comment letting us know. 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...



Your comments about the 70s were so much fun to read. I think the top list of what you loved most would have to be 1) Yourself 2) Star Wars 3)Awesome disco tunes. The winner of one yard of Sparky & Marie, Piccadilly, Posies Cream is...

Uh, my hubby, of course! And my parents' wedding, as that's what precipitated my existence. As far a society goes, I'd have to say email was a pretty darn good contribution, even if it was in its earliest stages.

Congrats! Please use the contact form to send us your address and Fabricworm will send off your prize!

My favorite Lucky Brand long sleeve black t-shirt. It has a floral peace sign on the front...so it's not JUST a black t-shirt. Makes it look like I at least tried to put some effort into getting dressed ;o)

These days it's my jeggings (that I once swore I would never own, for shame!), an oversized tunic-y shirt, and flat grey boots. If I add a long necklace, I actually look almost stylish.

For me it's skinny jeans or leggings, cozy boots, and a long tunic or a short sweater dress! I feel like it's very versatile and super flattering on a mommy tummy since it generally makes the smallest part of you right below your bust around your ribs rather than around your belly button(I'm back below pre-baby weight, but my stomach will just never be the same-he was totally worth it, but it does make fashion tougher!)
