A little inspiration

July 25th, 2010

Before I blogged for Warehouse Fabrics Inc., I used to make and sell handbags for my own little business. I eventually closed up shop to pursue other things, but I was always a fan of Warehouse Fabrics Inc.’s selection. I decided to share a few of the bags I made out of these fabrics. Unfortunately, a lot of my photos were laid to rest with an old hard drive, but I hope these that I salvaged can inspire you! A few of these you’ll recognize from this blog. I linked from the items to the fabrics used in them, so click to go there.

$50 fabric shopping spree winner

July 25th, 2010

I have the winner of the $50 Warehouse Fabrics Inc. gift certificate:

The random number generated was 19

which means the winner is TAS. Congratulations! If TAS doesn’t claim the prize within 48 hours, a new winner will be drawn.

(Note: I count the comments for the contest from my dashboard, where they are shown in proper order, so it may be different from the comments as shown publicly on the post itself, which is often in a slightly different order and not by time posted. This ensures fairness.)

UPDATE: Toini claimed her prize! Check back for next month’s drawing!

Contest update

July 25th, 2010

Hi everyone! Thanks for participating in the gift certificate giveaway.

I am almost ready to announce the winner. My problems have been twofold:

1. My Internet was out for much of the day and just came back

2. I had a baby last week and things are sort of hectic, to say the least!

I’ll get the winner announced shortly and a new blog post up, too!

July shopping spree giveaway!

July 19th, 2010

It’s time for our monthly drawing! You can win a $50 shopping spree at Warehouse Fabrics Inc.
Summer sewing is always so much fun! The options are endless, and so are the fabric choices.

Entering is simple: just leave a comment below. ENTER SEPARATE COMMENTS FOR EACH, PLEASE! Each comment will count as “one” when I draw a random number, so when I count them out, you’ll want them to be on separate comments to increase your chances. You can enter several times by doing the following:

MANDATORY entry: Tell us what fabric you’re interested in that’s for sale at Warehouse Fabrics Inc. ***note*** this is not the fabric you have to purchase with your gift certificate if you win! Just share something that you like.

1 bonus entry: Tell us what you’d like to make with that fabric (again, separate comment entry).

3 bonus entries: “Like” our Facebook page, which can be found here. Please cut and paste into three separate comments for this one so you get all of your entries counted.

Also, please make sure you include your e-mail address in the form (it isn’t visible to everyone else) so we can contact the winner. The winner will be drawn randomly, but the more times you enter, the better your chances!

Name will be announced in a blog post after the drawing. Drawing will close Friday, July 23, at noon MDT.

Fine print: The winner’s name (or business name), city and state may be used by Warehouse Fabrics Inc. for promotional purposes. If you win, I’ll ask you to provide first and last name and location for the winner’s board at Warehouse Fabrics Inc.’s website. You’ll be sent an email informing you of your win and have 48 hours to respond to claim your prize. After that, a new winner may be drawn, so please check your email and/or the blog to see if you won!

Hand-embroidered wristlet

July 10th, 2010

Embroidered wristlet

I must admit, I’m usually one for bigger bags. I just can’t seem to pare down my load enough for a wristlet. All the same, they still appeal to me. And sometimes you really do just need something small. I loved the simplicity of this wristlet, and the opportunity to do some embroidery. Read the rest of this entry »

A wee boy’s room

July 3rd, 2010

I’m ready to share my son’s nursery with you! I decided to base the room around a selection of Warehouse Fabrics Inc. materials. The first thing I did was put together a few concepts that I liked and shared them with my husband. I wanted him to feel included, you know? Only, silly me, I forgot that he’s sort of the most stubborn man in the world. Or universe, maybe. So right away he chooses the one that was last on my list. And from there, there was no winning for me. Read the rest of this entry »

Share your sewing space with us!

July 2nd, 2010

What sewer isn’t into ogling someone else’s workroom? Of course, some workrooms make us all swoon with jealousy. Many of us just aren’t equipped with a spacious, separate room that’s gorgeously decorated and has ample workspace.

But we still make do, right? Because we love to sew.

I want to see the area that you work in. Would you like to share it with others? It sure doesn’t have to be fancy. Heaven knows mine isn’t. It just has to be yours. As a matter of fact, the more cramped your area is, the more organized you likely have to be. So share with us how you organize your fabrics and other supplies. If you have a fantastic sewing room, well, we’d love to drool over it.

Drop me an e-mail if you’d like to participate, and we’ll go from there!
