Vintage fabric giveaway #2 - rockabilly fruit gingham leaf

Photobucket

I just had to offer a crackin' 50s cotton! You know me and my love of 50s and 60s cottons...I just can't get enough of them!. Our vintage fabric #2 giveaway is a 88cm wide x 50cm long vintage 50s rockabilly dress weight cotton featuring large scale fruit with gingham leaves - aren't they the cutest? The photo above it half of the bolt width and the shot below is a close up...it's unused from the bolt but it smells a little like its been stored in a smokers household - sunlight and airing will get rid of this, even without a wash.

This giveaway is open to everyone, everywhere - yes, that's right - anywhere around the world. It's open 'til 8pm, Tuesday 28 April, AEST and the winner will be announced later that night...as I have an event I need to go to on the Wednesday night and I don't want to keep you hanging!

To be in the running for the cotton leave a comment answering "what else you would like to see us do with this blog?" Good luck!

COMMENTS CLOSED - THANK YOU!

  1. I already love all of the photos! I would be interested to see things that people have made from their vintage fabrics. I love to sew with vintage and it would be great to see what other people are doing.

  2. I agree, I think it would be cool to see how people have used the fabrics they have purchases- whether they reuphosleterd a chair, made curtains, or made a purse, I'd love to see the creative work your customers have done!

  3. I'd love to see some vintage pattern ideas (for aprons, etc) to use some of the vintage fabric. (Or placemat patterns, etc.)
