Military Green

I'm sure I've mentioned Anastasia before. 

She has the fashion blog Natbee's Fashion and she's not only pretty but also the sweetest girl!

These are some pictures from her 'Military' fashion post and, yes, she's wearing a green organza Fairytale Flower brooch!

Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day - Fabric and Vintage Lace

-----------------------------------------------------

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.

-----------------------------------------------------

It's that time of year again!

Time for the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day -which, as you probably know by now, is actually a whole week!

So here is the first of the giveaways I'll be joining with.

This is a selection of some of my favourite spring fabrics -thus the abundance of stripes and the obligatory polka dots- plus some lovely vintage lace and daisy trims that were recently given me.

They're all wonderful, natural cotton except for the red one which is a luxurious linen-cotton blend.

The dimensions of the pieces vary and so does their thickness.

Here's a birdseye view of the fabrics laid out.

If you would like a chance to win this little bundle of fabric, please leave a comment below telling me what your spring sewing plans are.


Just in case you'd like an extra entry or two, you can like my flower accessories shop Fairytale Flower , my fabric accessories shop One Perfect Day or you can even follow this blog.
Please leave an extra comment saying that you did one -or all- of these and they will be counted as extra entries.
(Please make sure there is a link to your comment where I can reach you if you win.)

International entries are welcome.

Giveaway ends on May 10 and post will be updated with winner by May 12.

Thanks for participating.

You can see the numerous other giveaways on the Sew, Mama, Sew blog and please come back to see the rest of the giveaways I'll be posting soon.

Anyone that has an etsy shop can tell you of the countless hours they spend on Etsy.

 They can also testify to the truly incredible shops and artists they come across, that sell their wares on the site. You can find the most beautiful, handcrafted or vintage items in numerous categories and kinds. 

I think it was about time I started an Etsy Favourites post.

So every week I'll be picking five favourites from my etsy 'favourites' -older or newer- and sharing them with you.
