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!

17 years agoIs not easy to find organic fabric here in Italy … I'm planning to make a mei-tai baby sling and organic fabric is just the right answer! Also backpack-tote bags or some new placemats could be a possible use, these materials are just so beautiful there's no end to what they could become :-). Thanks for the great opportunity!!!
