Blue Denim

OK, this is not a new bag.

It was made for this challenge a while back.

But it's a new picture and I really wanted to show it off......

I kept this one for myself and I wear it a lot when I don't need the giant oversized bag that fits everything.

It's quite practical.

Maybe next time I'll add a zip to close it instead of a magnetic snap.

Then again, maybe I won't.

My Creative Space - Old Lace and Happiness

This is part of a newly acquired stash of wonderful vintage lace that I just had to share...

The joy of having this lot drop in my lap unexpectedly can only be appreciated by other manic makers, I'm sure. (Isn't that right girls?)

 Can you see the mustard yellow lace? It's a much deeper, yellower colour than the pictures and absolutely fabulous!

The large pieces of white lace are equally impressive but the sheer novelty of the colour does make it stand out.

There are also all sorts of trims in various sizes and designs....Some hand crocheted.

I can't wait to start on these! 

Ah, the possibilities are endless....

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.
