There are a number of reasons for this fabric give-away. The selfish one is that we're moving house soon so I'm trying to de-stash as much as I can. But more importantly I wanted to give a little something back to the amazing online sewing community. I really can't get over how wonderful the Me Made May Flickr group has been, or how great the online sewing community is in general. You are all a real source of support and inspiration for me! So in the interests of giving something back I've gone through all my fabric and found two that I am sure could have a better home elsewhere. I'm giving both of these away to one lucky reader. I'm also giving away a Bernina zip foot.
Sorry, I forgot to say this give-away is open world-wide.
- Liberty tana lawn fabric Durie B (designed by children's illustrator Brian Wildsmith) - 2.3 metres x 1.4 metres. This is a really gorgeous fabric and I'm pretty sure I only paid for 2 metres so think I got a good deal here! The colours are a bit more vibrant than they seem in this photo.
- Timeless Treasures 100% cotton - aprox 2.8metres (along the width of the design) by .6metres. This is a more awkward size but it would still be enough for a lovely tote bag, or children's clothes, or maybe even a wee top with some clever pattern piece placement.
- Zip foot No.4 for a Bernina. This should fit Bernina models from 700 up to 1530 and a 1008. When I was starting to learn to sew I thought I should order myself an invisible zip foot for my sewing machine. However instead I ordered a normal zip foot, exactly the same one I already had! As I don't really need two of the same foot I'd love to pass this on if there's anyone who doesn't have one. I can't imagine there's that many folk needing this foot as I have a feeling it may come as standard with the machine but if there are more than one of you then I'll do a draw but obviously if there's only one then you get it!
1. Liberty tana lawn, Durie B |
2. Timeless Treasures 100% cotton |
3. Bernina zip foot No.4 |
Of course if you are only interested in the zip foot then state that, but what sewist (sewer? never quite sure what sounds better/less weird!) wouldn't want these two lovely fabrics as well!
I'd also be really interested to know how you follow my blog (assuming of course that you do follow my blog!).
Thanks for reading!
For any family members that read this blog, this isn't open to you, sorry!
Rules:
This competition is open from today, Saturday 8th June 2013. The closing date is Sunday 16th June at 6pm GMT.

Oh these fabrics are both so lovely. It would be such a treat to have some liberty fabric as it is wildly expensive down here. Thanks so much for the kind give away.

ReplyDeleteI don't have a Bernina machine, so I can't use the zipper foot :(
love the fabric :)
ReplyDeleteI just picked up a used bernina. The pic of your zipper foot looks different then the one that came with my machine so probably could use it.
I'd be happy to win either giveaway :)
