Sew Grateful - Floral & Nautical Fabric Giveaway

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED - WINNERS ANNOUNCED SOON

I was really pleased that Debi decided to host another Sew Grateful Week this year. It is such a nice way to say thanks to people who read your blog and generally contribute to the blogging community. Plus last year I won a couple of giveaways too!

So without further ado - I have two pieces of fabric to give away:

 

1. Nautical jersey. I don't know what the content of this is - there is a slight sheen to it so I'd say there is some poly in there. It's also not too sheer, so wouldn't be super revealing if used for a top.  I have about 1.7 metres of this to give away. I purchased it at the Mandors sale last month, buying double so I could have some for myself and some to give away - I was so taken by the print but I haven't used mine yet. The colours are navy, grey and coral.


2. Red flower print fabric. This is a light poly with a lovely drape. It is an orangey-red, but not as orangey as it appears in photos (why is red so hard to photograph?!). I've had it for some time but I really don't know what I'd make from it so time to pass it on. There is just over 3 metres, so enough to make a dress.

Here's how to enter:
  1. Comment below saying which fabric you would like (you can choose both) and what you would use it for.
  2. Make sure your email address is easy to find in your blogger profile or included with your comment
  3. It would be nice if you were a follower of the blog, but it's not compulsory.
Guidelines
  1. Giveaway is open internationally
  2. I will select the winner by a random method
  3. Giveaway will close at 5pm GMT on Thursday 14th February and the winner will be announce on the blog and emailed shortly after.
Good Luck!

    Thanks! I already follow your blog. I think I'd make a simple sleeveless dress out of the nautical fabric if I happened to win.

    I like both! I think the red would be great as Butterick 5750, and the nautical print would be a simple top, with extended-shoulder cap sleeves, to keep the number of seams minimal.

    I love the red/orange poly fabric! I'd probably make a mxi skirt or some flared pants out of it. x

    Of course I follow you! And man, that nautical jersey is calling my name!! I wasn't going to enter any of the give-aways today unless they were super amazing and this is it!! I'd totally make a jersey shift dress out of that. Perfect for summer!

    Ooh, what wonderful fabrics!! I'd be really happy with either. The red would most definitely be a dress, and the nautical, maybe a day to night drape top, something with a cowl. Lovely!! Thank you Kerry.

    Oooh that nautical print is amazing! I think I would use it for a skirt, to go with an adorable crisp white top with navy trim that I have, or make a top out of it! It's my favorite colors :)

    Pretty, pretty fabric! I'd love either of them. :-) I'd use the nautical for a fitted top (seriously, how cute would that look paired with a denim skirt?!) or the red/orange for a 1940's blouse pattern. (I'm one of your followers already. :-)

    People that are awesome enough to do a lovely giveaway deserve to be followed, so done on GFC
    I would go for the Red, because red is my favourite colour. I would try to make my *very first dress ever.* Fingers crossed.

    Hello, I am in love with the orangy red fabric. But, let's call it 'red', lol. I'm not a fan of orange either. I wold so make a summer dress, with flowy sleeves and a drapey skirt, not too full. I have not sewn with thin sily fabrics before (only wovens, like cotton, cotton poly and thicker jacket like fabrics as well as knits. So, I'd love to be able to try my hand at making a dress with this! I am also having a sew grateful giveaway on my blog if you are interested.

    Hi! I'm already a follower. Love both fabrics - the nautical would be great as a button back blouse, and I'd love the red to make my first Cambie, or maybe Ceylon.

    I would love to sew with both fabrics. I think I'd make a 30's blouse with flutter sleeves with the nautical one, and a fun sundress with the red.

  44. Josephine10 February 2013 at 12:21

    Please count me in for both fabrics, I love them equally. I'm new to jersey sewing, I wonder if it would work for a Renfrew. The poly would make a lovely In House Belle Blouse but would probably end up as a dress.

    Oh the red fabric is just beautiful - I just bought a high neck at the front, low scoop back with a full skirt dress pattern from vintage vogue. I'd love to use the red for it - it'd be so glam!
