Hello and welcome to all you Sew Mama Sew readers looking for my giveaway. I’m Mary, I live in the UK and I sew, a lot! I’d be delighted if you stayed a while and had a look round my blog, if you look here there is a great Christmas tutorial you might want to have a go at (this year or next!)
Here is a selection of some of the projects that I have completed this year:
If you want to see more browse this blog and view my flickr stream.
Part way through this year I began to find lots of vintage sheets and have started to sew with them. So I’ve not thought long and hard about what to giveaway because I know from experience that most of you would love to win some fabric… and today I’ve got a bundle of 10 gorgeous vintage sheet fat quarters that I have made up from my stash. (If you don’t fancy sewing I’m also giving away a bag made from vintage sheets here).
If you’re in the UK you may well recognise some of these fabrics, if you’re not then you may well be excited by the opportunity to win some vintage sheet fat quarters from another country!
(fat quarter bundle will contain some of these prints and a selection of others)
So what do you need to do to win? Not much, just comment on this post telling me what you will make with the fat quarters if you win.
For an extra entry ‘like’ my facebook page or subscribe via email (that box over there on the top at the right) and leave another comment here telling me you’ve done so.
Please ensure that I have a way to contact you if you win. The giveaway closes on December 16th at 17:00 PST (01:00 Dec 17th UK time). The winner will be drawn using Random Number Generator and emailed and announced here by December 18th. I will ship internationally but can’t promise they will be with you before Christmas!
Don’t forget to visit Sew Mama Sew! for the list of other participating blogs and have fun.
Hi!
What a lovely bundle of “fabric”, they remind me of the sheets at my grandmother. With some of them I´ll make some bibs to my little one, I´d probable sew a cover to my nursing pillow.
THanks
Fingers crossed
Just liked the blog on facebook for that extra chance.

Vintage Sheets!!! I am just SO into them at the moment. I’ve been making curtains, shorts for my boys and applique for their t-shirts most recently. I imagine I’ll continue on in that manner, if I’m the lucky person. Hmmm, or maybe some cushions.

Since each napkin would be different, we wouldn’t have to wash them between meals or worry about using someone else’s dirty napkin during our time together!
Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway!
A patchwork totebag!
Headbands!
I know what I would use them for. I have been saving all the squares of vintage sheets that come my way to make myself a quilt. I know that’s not fascinating, but I have never made myself a quilt before and I have been saving little vintage pieces for ages. Someday, I will have a quilt to throw on the couch – full of history and stories. Even if I don’t know what they are. Even if I don’t really *want* to know what they are. *ahem!*
Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh would you look at those! I love vintage sheets – I am making a set of drawer liners for my husband’s aunt for Christmas out of some (including some she gave me, which I think is kind of cool) – but of course I wouldn’t have these in time to include them. So I’m not sure what I would make out of them…but I know I would put them to good use! xo

I love mixing my vintage in with moderns in little patchwork items, pot holders, mini quilts, I love the mix of old and new!
These are so adorable! I’d probably put a few into piles that already exist for planned quilts, some vintage prints would go beautifully, and the rest? I have to admit, I’d probably hoard them for a while and pat them and tell them they’re pretty. 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway chance!
I’m in the mood to make a quilt. i think that is what I would use them in at this point.
Thanks for the chance to win!
