I got an email from Jan over at Daisy Janie this week with a great idea for celebrating Earth Day – a blog-hop giveaway of organic fabric! I’ve never done a giveaway before – haven’t had much to give away – but this happens to coincide perfectly with the arrival of the first bolts of my new organic collection, Monaco. I’m offering up 1/2 yard each of 7 prints from the teal colorway – all you have to do is take a look at the prints and leave a comment with your ideas of what to make with them. (I’ll be doing a lot of sample sewing over the next month, and I need ideas!) Then, go ahead and click on the links to the other 11 fabulous designers to enter their giveaways. The giveaway will end at 7am Cali time (10am EST) on Monday, 4/26, and I’ll pick the winner in a blind draw. So, without further ado, here are the prints! Let me know your ideas.
Here are the links for the other participants. Good luck!

14 years agoThese fabrics are so cool for the summer…I'd love to make a lounge tote for the pool by layering a beach towel with one of these and adding handles to carry my towel/tote 😀 Also would love to make a bathing suit bag by lining these fabrics with vinyl on the inside to hold wet bathing suits….or shoes in my travel bags. And finally, how about some cosmetic bags to go inside a clear vinyl tote…very stylin'…Hope this helps and would so love to win 😀 Happy Earth Day!
