I'm a GFC follower & also received your posts by email. I enjoy sewing for myself the most - by that I mean I enjoy the process of choosing a pattern, selecting fabric & then sewing everything together. What I make is usually given to family members, friends or charity donations. Thanks for the giveaway.

This morning I am adding a second giveaway just for the followers! :-)
Giveaway Week is in full force over at Sew, Mama, Sew! and I have another giveaway HERE (with no follower requirement) but I wanted to add a second one just for the followers of the blog.  

This beautiful fabric is Vintage!! There are two different ones.  The first one is a very soft white and red polka dot fabric which I believe is a rayon type?  I'm not 100% sure on that but it is very lightweight and as you can see from the second picture, skin shows through a bit.  There is 1 yard of 44 inch wide for this one. 

The second fabric is amazing.  It is also white and red dotted but the dots are raised on it.  It has a really cool bumpy texture.  It is lightweight and a tiny bit see through.  I tried to show that in the pictures.  There is 1 3/8 yard of this, and then a small 3 x 2 inch square cut out of it? lol.  And then another 3/4 yard after that. It is 36 inches wide.  
  
The fabric is vintage and has been washed once.  It comes from a smoke free home.  (I have one puppy but she is non-shedding).  You are winning a total of 3 1/8 yards of fabric.

• Must be a follower of this blog
