let the games begin! as promised, i have STACKS of fabric set aside to hand out. i tried to organize it in some way today, and it looks like i have enough to post for several days. my plan is to just keep the giveaways posted until all the stacks are up for grabs, then i will announce the winners all at once and ship all at once to save myself some trips to the post office, in roughly one week. when i get to the last stack, i will notify in the post how long you have to leave a comment before the giveaways close. the only other rules are as follows:
1) leave one comment on the post pertaining to the fabric you’re interested in (you are welcome to comment on multiple posts, but only once per post). i will number the comments and draw a number out of the hat for each post–very high tech.
2) i will pay shipping, and i will ship internationally.
so, this is fabric stack #1! provided you like neutral colors, this is a really good one. i’m not going to take a ton of time editing for 100% accurate lighting and color representation, but i will try to give you the gist. it’s all prewashed, which is why it’s wrinkly, but trust me, you don’t want me bringing an iron anywhere near your stuff!
fabric 1 (above): about 3 yards of a beige and cream plaid cotton/poly blend. this is the same type of fabric i used to make this, and i think it wears well.
fabric 2 (above): this is actually a darker purple linen with cream pinstripes. one yard.
fabric 3 (above): 2 yards of swiss dot cream cotton shirting (the color in the first photo is way more accurate) with vertical rows of eyelet.
fabric 4 (above): this is about 3 yards of a lightweight beige cotton shirting. those vertical stripes are actually holes–does that count as eyelet? i’m not sure the right term, but this would make a cool dress!
that’s a pretty good stash! lots of potential for this fabric. leave a comment below if you’re interested in it…since it is monday (just barely), why don’t you leave a comment about something interesting you did this weekend. don’t be shy–this fabric is leaving me one way or another, so it might as well be yours!

The dark purple linen is my favorite!!!
Wow! That’s a great giveaway! Let me choose fabric 2 and fabric 3 and start this giveaway comment chain 🙂 Hmm, to talk about something I did/doing, let me share with you that I am sewing sari blouses, 3 sewn and 3 more to complete by the end of this month. Best wishes!
This bundle is right up my alley – I love all the fabrics, especially the last two! This weekendwe went hiking and I sewed a bunch of clothes for my son.
Fabric 2 please. This weekend, we went to a very modern art exhibition. The swinging lights in the dark room were so womb like, they sent my three month old son to sleep.
that sounds really cool! and anything that will put an infant to sleep, i’ll take it, right?
Fabric 2 is my favourite – very generous of you to pay international post Ashley (if I win I’m happy to negotiate). I had a weekend off sewing and technology as we stayed at my parent’s in laws beach house – lovely!!
thanks renee–that is so thoughtful! i shipped some out to a few friends even before i began the giveaway and it became quickly obvious it would end up costing as much as the fabric did…i’m open to negotiation 🙂 weekend unplugged sounds wonderful!
I’d love to win this fabric especially the swiss dot. This weekend I went fabric shopping for dress fabric. I have a special event coming up soon and I’ve decided to sew a vintage dress.
Fabric 2 is lovely! This weekend we stayed home and cleaned.
I love all the neutral fabrics, especially the swiss dot. This weekend we went for a long bike ride to a UW baseball game, frozen yogurt, the university to see the cherry blossoms, and then for a stop in the park where we saw people dressed as knights jousting. Who knew?
I found your blog through a mutual friend and I have enjoyed seeing all the beautiful clothing you make yourself and your children.
thanks, kristie! who is our mutual friend? i know a couple people up your way…
knights jousting? awesome.
I like fabric #4!! Love holey fabrics!
I spent the weekend doing taxes and dyeing some handkerchief linen. I found your blog by typing in linen. So happy to be a contender for your lovely fabric. I love the swiss dot!
dyeing is very high on my crafty to do list. i should pick your brain!
I think a great place to start is Ann Johnson’s
“Color by Accident”
Let me know if I can be any help! Always happy to hear from another obsessed dyer (not that you are-YET)lol
oh thank you! i am always perusing dyeing books and never know which one will be the most informative for a total novice.
Actually I think I misspelled Ann’s name
Ann Johnston – she has at least two books-they are small format with wire binding – so easy to use in the dye room!!! (bathroom lol)
Color by Accident
and
Color By Design
Happy dyeing!
Oh my goodness! That swiss dot cream cotton shirting is lovely and would make beautiful summer blouses for little girls.
Oh to have enough fabric to host a give away! I live all of them, but the dark purple linen is my favourite.
Gorgeous fabric! Um I can’t remember what I did on the weekend! It’s been one of those weeks 🙂
These are great fabrics! I baked a six kilo batch of bread on Sunday. That’s 12 loaves.
