Sew Cool- A Cabbages and Roses Giveaway
This week I finally busted out my sewing machine. The 'ol girl hasn't seen the light of day in over a year. For some reason, the longer you don't do something, the harder it is to finally do it again. Did that make sense? It did in my head. The point I'm trying to make is I sewed something! And, I had really, really good incentive to do it. You see, I was the lucky beneficiary of a meter of Cabbages and Roses fabric. Those kind folks let me choose a project out of the above book to share with all of you. Believe me when I say, it was hard to choose.
I decided to make the fabric gift bag and used their lavender heart project as inspiration to make a pretty tag to go on it. Now before you go and get jealous of my good fortune, let me tell you that I don't even get to keep the book. Nope. The book is for you. And, it gets better. You also get a meter of the fabric I used for the bag for yourself. Who's jealous now?
Just leave your name and email address here by Monday January 24th at midnight Eastern and if I draw your name, you will be the lucky winner of the giveaway.
While you wait please go check out the Cabbages and Roses website and blog. Be prepared for inspiration overload.

Oh my, what an awesome giveaway. throw my name in the hat. I would love to have the book.
ReplyDeleteFor years I told people my sewing machine was more important than my stove. Now I find I only sew in the summer when I do the big projects like new slipcovers. The Cabbage and Roses book would definitely get me motivated.
ReplyDeleteAlso need motivation and a chance to use the new-to-me vintage 1944 State Sewing Machine I thrifted recently. I'll throw my name into the hat!
