Those of you that have been following my Fabric Fridays for the last year, won't be surprised to learn that my fabric stash is taking over my studio right now. Boy do I love fabric & I have piles dating back to the late 1990's. The lightbulb finally went off after numerous inquires from customers about buying my fabric to match their klt:mobiles & plush. Part of my new year resolution was to simply & pare down. So, in the spirit of making more space in my studio, I'm now creating & selling fabric bundles from my klt:fabric stash in my Etsy Shop.
As I was frantically going through my fabric, cutting & bundling, I came up with a fun idea (I think)- a Fabric Friday Giveaway! I thought I would put together some fabric remnants in this KLT owl tote as my giveaway prize. I figured that those of you that are crafty & creative would need an extra tote. So, I will gradually add fabric to this tote over the next week - and announce a winner next Fabric Friday. Sound fun?

Happy Fabric Friday! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
I made 3 resolutions this year. #1 Be more thoughtful. #2 Use up stash. #3 Find more creative bloggy friends. So, I declared it the year of the tote bag and have been making tote bags to send to family & friends hoping to make up for years of workaholic lapses of manners and sociability. I'd love a tote bag for myself, and I'd love some fresh supplies to blend with my stash. Your blog is wonderful and I'm here thanks to a poet writer friend. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do with one of your tote bags with some of your beautiful fabric stash?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd throw it all up in the air and skip around giddily as it all fell about me ... then I'd scoop it all up, whisper sweet things to each piece and then start sewing a 1/2 Moomin-stash, 1/2 KLT-stash quilt for Ausralia's youngest Emo who refuses to have vintage floral sheet squares on the quilt she's demanding I make her.
Fin. (Great giveaway btw).
Oooh, what an exciting giveaway! I love the owl image. Kalina loves her owl shirt and has been wearing it for almost two years now. We would match. The remnants could help me with some much needed sewing inspiration. I love the vibrant colors and patterns that you play with.
ReplyDeleteI need to make a mobile for my baby and I've been stuck on what fabrics to use...time to get some new fabric.
ReplyDeleteCan I enter? ;D I'd love some fabric, been thinking about making my own tee pee to lil' dude and these fabrics would be great for it!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why I wasn't reading your blog (through Google Friend Connect) earlier, but now I am!

I'd enjoy looking at each & every piece, and probably make a postage stamp quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI also now follow on FB & Twitter! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm what to make? cushions or purses, cushions or purses? what the heck I'd make both and more! and the owl tote would be perfect for taking parcels to post.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely giveaway idea and can't wait to see more of your fabric bundles ;)
If you ship to Canada I would so love this, saw it on FB.
ReplyDeleteI would make camera straps and ...
Im probably too late but...With the tote and Stash i could finally get around to finishing a nice homemade quilt for my sons new toddler bed! And that tote is so wonderful i think it would have to become our new everyday bag Love it so much
ReplyDeleteI would hoard the fabric for our move to South America. ;) I hear that there are no fabric stores (and none with such cute stuff as yours!) and I am planning on taking as much as possible with me to last me the 18 months of our tour there. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like ya on fB and follow you on Twitter and follow you in my RSS feed!
Ooh, I would add it to some of my scraps and make a new quilt for my daughter and I to lay out on since in FL its been averaging 80 degrees!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! I would carry the tote (among other places) to my favorite farmer's market and then hoard all the pieces of fabric...I am sure they would inspire me to eventually do more than that, but let's be honest here - I'd hoard them to begin with.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the beginning of my sewing aspirations, and finding fabric is such an inspiring part of maaking something. Sometimes I think the fabric knows what it wants to be. I'd like to make quilts and tote bags and tea towels and oven mitts. Maybe some pillows and plushies for the kids too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your site, you are an inspiration.
how lovely! i love everyone's ideas :) i'd use the tote to collect yummy goodness from our local farmer's markets. and the fabric, well, endless ideas! stuffies for my girls. applique onesies. coasters. mini quilts. fabric flower brooches! i love scraps!!!
ReplyDeletei follow your blog!
ReplyDelete...and i also follow you on twitter!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! What fun it would be shop in your studio! I would use the tote and the fabric to take to my new quilt guild. I would use the fabric for inspiration for our next group project. The tote I would keep all for my onesie.
ReplyDeleteI'd show my grandma and we'd enjoy coming up with a project together.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful giveaway!!! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThis tote is so cute that I think that I would use it to store small toys in my kids' bedroom and/or to take toys with us when we go out.
i am so glad you are selling your bundles!! i shared your giveaway on my FB fanpage! you have the best prints!!!
ReplyDeleteHow funny I found this, I just got off the phone after booking my first sewing class. I got a machine for Vday and can't wait to learn to learn to use it. I think this would be great for patchwork skirts, patchwork pillows or baby things. mere@jklobo.com

Oh, what a treat this is. I do love fabric. My first priority would be aprons for me and my baking buddy. We need something fun and funky to deliver cakes.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh! I want to make a quilt for my little boy so bad and I've been procrastinating because I need so many different fabrics, this would be a great jump start!!!
