*Update* Giveaway and comments are CLOSED. Thanks so much everyone for the great comments I have laughed and loved reading them all. The winner will be announced by December 9th. Good luck!
I haven't posted anything I'm working on because I've been sucked into the worm-hole that is the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day (week). Here are previous things I've worked on: Photography Tutorial, Scrappy Stash QAL, Merrily We Sew Along and I have a few pics up on Flickr. I make so many more things that I've not posted yet, ah well.
I figure I'll throw my hat in again, am giving away a child's shirt here, would you like some of the Heather Ross Gnomes and Puppies? If you've been wanting some forever, I have some to share! If you're not familiar with 'em these fabrics are out of print and getting really hard to find. I ordered a little packet with the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway in mind and they are tinyish pieces about charm size.
I'm not competitive but I love winning :) so I want lots of you to win. How does 6 or 7 winners sound? I'd like for you to win something you like so I chose a variety of fabric. I've got pre-washed: a fat quarter print from Children at Play that's the best shade of aqua, fat quarter of French General La Petite Ecole. There are also two fat quarters- Anna Maria Horner and Amy Butler fabrics-Loulouthi and Gypsy Caravan that are unwashed. I received them as bonus in a fabric order and would like them to go to someone that loves them before I start playing with them and bleach :)
How about stripey fabric for binding? Here's about a 1/2 yard of Riley Blake. Then this lovely purple vintage lace is up for grabs and there are at least a few yards. (The measuring tape is just there for scale.)

If you're working on an I-Spy quilt or would like to start one :) I'll send along a package of I-Spy scraps that will probably include the prints pictured and some others. Thennnnnn, how about an official Star Wars fat quarter? I'm sure you know someone who likes Star Wars.
How to win? Just tell me an outfit you'd like to wear out in public if it were socially acceptable. Birthday suits and pajama's don't count :) I'd also like if you'd come back to visit me or follow but it's not required. First winner gets first choice of fabric and on down the line. Good luck!
Thank you all so much for visiting I am loving reading the answers!
Giveaway ends December 7th and the winner's in alphabetical order are Catherine, Carolyn, Lynn, Nancy, Sangeetha, Tiffany and Tina.
Damn, pyjamas was totally my first choice. My grandma used to have a patchwork housecoat made of EPP'd hexies in all kinds of scrappy fabrics. I would totally wear that in public if I could get away with it. FYI, I follow you through google reader.
ReplyDeleteA quilted tailored jacket out anna marie horners field study... ok maybe I am a little obsessed with that line. but I'd totally rock it somehow.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to sport a dress from the 1700's...like Marie Antionette style... :)Complete with the hair of course!
ReplyDeleteGREAT prizes!! I adore that gnome fabric! And the French General fabric is gorgeous!
Genevieve

ReplyDeleteI will wear a Peasant blouse with a legging . I am making an i spy quilt for my son. Love those novelty print :D
ReplyDeleteI have a bathrobe that I love and it is very warm. Sometimes I run to the mailbox in it. My husband says I shouldn't. ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering so many fun things! I have enjoyed looking around here, today!
I wear a lot of yoga pants, covered in threads. Ooops
ReplyDeleteCashmere dress with boots. This is an amazingly generous give away! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would straight up dress like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman every day. I love the "casual pioneer" style. Do you realize how big those pockets are?! You can fit a ton of stuff in there and nobody would know what you're hiding.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think I would wear some old school prairie dresses if it were socially acceptable for a 28 year old! ha! :-)
Well, if pajama bottoms don't count, then how about a tank top and leggings? I know I "could* wear those, but I never would. But around the house, they are so incredibly comfortable.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love those Heather Ross puppies!
I just love all these choices..thanks for the give away! I would have to say a snuggie! It's cold here!
ReplyDeleteI would wear a oversized tshirt, with no bra, and baggy pants, wool slipper that wont get too hot. thanks, kathyy
ReplyDeleteI honestly think a sari would be really comfortable--but not being Indian it'd be a bit weird for me to wear one...
ReplyDeleteI love wearing sweatpants and a tee. I hate the bra thing too!
ReplyDeleteI would like to wear sweatpants. But at my size, not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI'd dress up like wonder women.
ReplyDeleteA ball gown with a fancy mask. I've always wanted to go to a masquerade ball or somewhere I could wear my prom dress again. Thanks for the great giveaway! I love the gnome fabric, children at play, and the lovely banner fabric. It's all so fun! I actually managed to get a scrap of the blue fabric with a single gnome on it and am using it in a quilted pocket.
ReplyDeleteWhat I would wear in public if I could: just like George Castanza, I would drape myself in velvet. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Camelama is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI would wear this absolutely tacking and terrible sweater I have. It's hideous. It has beads. And shoulder pads. But it is possibly the most comfortable thing ever!
muumuus of wonderful prints. super hero muumuus :)
ReplyDeletea "house" dress, with no bra underneath, especially in the hot weather
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear gowns like in the 1100s. Thanks for the chance to win!

Wonderful fabric in your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBathrobe. My newspaper is delivered to my mailbox, and I would love to pick it up in the morning before I get dressed.
Thanks!
I would love to wear Victorian clothing every day! Failing that I would like to wear snuggly outfits with bunnies all over x
ReplyDeleteMy boys would go nuts over the star wars FQ! As for what I'd like to wear? I think having a realistic Dalek to get around in would be cool ;o)
ReplyDeletehow cute! lovely giveaway! hmm, If it were acceptable, i'd probably wear leggings and my "grandma sweater" a super soft super oversized knit sweater.. i look like a hobo in it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a question, lol. I would wear some girlie ballerina skirt and comfy crocs shoes with it. Fun.
ReplyDeleteDare I admit I pretty much wear whatever out in public? I just wish my bedhead was more acceptable! ;)
ReplyDeleteCamelama beat me to my first choice a 'la George Costanza, so I will go with my - and his - second choice. Sweats pants - when looks realaly aren't that important to you :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I'd definitely wear yoga pants all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteTube tops and or sun dresses with skinny little straps. I'm rather busty so I don't feel it's "acceptable" for me to wear them (since I need a bra all the time--well except when sleeping)
ReplyDeletei'm always cold this time of year so i would dress head to toe in a quilted down jumpsuit that would make me look like the michelin man.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to wear more sundresses. I think they are more comfortable in hot and humid weather. It is hard to wear them casually without everyone asking you why you are so dressed up!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm jealous of my 3yo that she gets to wear tutus and twirly skirts and dresses everyday and people think she's adorable! I'd like to have a chance to do that, but I don't think people will find me particularly adorable in them :)
ReplyDeleteGreat question, thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to wear a Sari. I may get brave enough to do it one day. I Love the Heather Ross Gnomes and Puppies fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wear the dresses from the Jane Austen era.
ReplyDeleteIf I had smaller boobs, I'd love to go bra-less!
ReplyDeleteI think the mid-calf skirts and curly, shortish hairdos from the 1940s/1950s are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the dresses from the 40s and 50s. I think they're so cute and stylish. I also like the flapper dresses from the 20s.
ReplyDeleteA happy clown costume because it makes people smile.
ReplyDeleteI'd be Catwoman! Alas, I am no Eartha Kitt.
ReplyDeleteI'd wear a Folkwear pattern dress to work if I could.
ReplyDeletemy old old beat up jeans w/ patches and my fuzzy socks and a sweater that was my great aunts that is warm oversized and ugly ! lol I love that doggy fabric HR - I have been wanting for a long as I have a doxie! thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to dress up like they did in the 1700's with the long dresses and fancy hats. I think that wearing a fancy hat every day must have been fun.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much wear whatever I want, too. But, I'd love to wear sweats to work!
ReplyDeleteWell if I can't say pajamas, I guess I'll take sweats :) I love to dress up but some days I just don't have the energy. I love the HR fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI'd wear my Anne Boleyn renaissance dress! Getting to wear only during faire season is just wrong...LOL.
ReplyDeleteI would wear a tutu every day if I could get away with it!
ReplyDeletemframe00@gmail.com
some days i wish i could dress like my six year old - in crazy colors, patterns that have nothing to do with each other, and an overall bohemian sensibility. however, my inner grown up keeps me from doing so...
ReplyDeletei'd like to wear a dress/tunic over pants-i just don't think i could pull it off! thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to dress more girly/fun with slightly mismatched patterns and cool socks, but that wouldn't fly in the small town I live near. I can wear these at home when I am in the mood- no close neighbors to care!
ReplyDeleteIf it were socially acceptable I'd wear lots of mismatched bright colors in comfy fabrics! I always loved Punky Brewster as a kid and I admit to still feeling the desire to dress like that...lol.
ReplyDeleteOOO, that's a hard one! I'd have to say sweat pants...similar to the comfort level of jams.

I would love to wear my comfy yoga pants and fleece all the time:)
ReplyDeleteI wish adorable kids clothes looked equally adorable on adults. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletehah I almost forgot to answer because I was reading everyone's responses - good question! and lovely giveaways... I already verge on being socially unacceptable because I wear yoga pants and t-shirts almost everywhere (just so comfortable!) but what I'd REALLY like to wear are huge men's clothes - jeans and sweaters. they just look so much more comfortable than the jeans and tops I squeeze into!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wear my bellydance scarf around. It jingles and makes me happy. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marla, I wish I could wear kids clothes because they are SO CUTE! I was wearing bright red skinny jeans and a black shirt with frenchie dog shilloutes on it the other day and I felt like an over grown (yet adorable) 3rd grader!
ReplyDeleteI think I would go Greek and wear togas - they look breezy and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteTotally workout shorts, flip flops, and a tank. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't I just love to wear some of those dresses worn on Downton Abbey---upstairs, of course!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wear Victorian dresses.. or go steampunk! :D
ReplyDeleteI always tell my husband that if it were socially acceptable, I would wear knit clothes from head to toe ... all day, every day!
ReplyDelete:)

I would love to wear cotton empire waist dresses like a little girl. So cute and so comfie but alas, not flattering on a 40 something woman!
ReplyDeleteSo when I am at home I wear my leggings most of the time with this GIGANTIC MAUVE PINK mid thigh length button up cardigan. Its the most comfy outfit ever and I sometimes go to the laundry next door in it, but that's it!
ReplyDeleteJeans and shirt is my only choice. Nothing special.
ReplyDeleteHoop Skirts. I would do a lot to wear the get up (and yes, I know it's not comfortable. Don't care)
ReplyDeleteOne of those old dresses with the bustle in the back. They sort of fascinate me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was tutu. I want to wear a tutu, because I am an adult, dangit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this very, very awesome giveaway!!

ReplyDeleteI would say my swim suit when it is hot out I hate having to take it off and put on clothes to run to the store.
ReplyDeleteI would go totally loose and elastic waist- if there was a waistband. In reality, if I didn't have a waist band on my clothes, I probably wouldn't have one on my body either. Love the fabric. Thanks for participating in the Giveaway Day.
ReplyDeleteOh sheesh not pajamas? hmm Ok my husband got me a cat kigurumi costume which people DO wear outside in Japan, and its sure too warm and bulky to be pajamas, so if I could get away with wandering around with that on, I totally would!
ReplyDeletea velour romper like the one my infant son has on right now!
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear fancy gowns on an average day!
ReplyDeleteOh jeeze thsi is hard. I would lov eto say pj;s but since tha tis out. I think I would lov eto wear a silky lacey lingerie nightie as a top over a tank or t chirt and some velour jeans tha thave hand embroidered large flowers all over them with a pair of old times high heeled tennis shoes for m the mid 1970's.

I'd just wear sweats, if it were socially acceptable, but alas!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a complete wardrobe of period clothing...out of the Jane Austen series. Long dresses and wraps cover a multitude of flaws!

ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to pull off a little red riding hood cape. Soo cute and classic.

ReplyDeleteloreew at pacbell dot net

ReplyDeletexoxo melzie4boyz@aol.com
First off I love Heather Ross...I would be so thrilled to win.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as an outfit to wear out...wouldn't it be fun to dress up as an elf this time of year and just walk around town? Everyone would love you!
I would wear a ballerina outfit... and I definitely don't have a body for that, lol!
ReplyDeleteI think a Sari would be nice, beautiful fabric, one size fits all and light and flowing. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHow about an lbd... every woman likes it
ReplyDeleteWell, at home I love to wear leggings and a big baggy sweatshirt... even though my body isn't built to show off in leggings in public
ReplyDeleteOk, how many votes has yoga pants gotten?? Because that's what I would live in, morning, noon, and night if I could get away with it!
ReplyDeleteI would wear my husbands basketball shorts that are way too big and a t-shirt. I love being comfy but wouldn't dare be seen in public like that!
ReplyDeleteA cowboy costume, with spurs and lasso included.
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear party dresses, especially anything vintage. Thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeletethe floor length hexie dress - just not practical for preschool pick up and the grocery store
ReplyDeleteHow about someone our of a Jane Austen novel? All that beautiful fabric and an empire waist... what's not to love? winterwrens at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteRecently discovered sweatpants. Must have been living under a rock, huh?!?
ReplyDeleteIf I could pull it off, a Flapper dress. But I could never pull it off, they are way too short! LOL Fun question. I was going to say PJ pants, but seriously it seems like that has become the norm now. :(
ReplyDeleteWow, tough question. It would probably just be the most comfortable clothes I can imagine. I know you can go out in yoga pants and a sweatshirt but I NEVER do. Even when I was in college.
ReplyDeleteerikawithak.vintage at gmail.com
I would love to wear skirts and sweaters everyday, but I really don't have anywhere to wear them to anymore. Maybe if I go back to work when the boys are both in school.
ReplyDeleteI agree with a previous poster! I'd wear a sari! But I am not Indian and would look foolish, I know it!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try one of the outfits my 7 year old pulls off just because she's so cute! Red shirt with sequined heart, purple ruffle skirt, blue heart tights, brown cowgirl boots and somehow it works!
ReplyDeleteI would dress up as Tortoro Thanks for the chance to win ;)
ReplyDeleteI would probably wear lots of sequins and ruffles out and about, they're so pretty, but not too practical or modest.
ReplyDeleteI think I would love to dress like the woman in Downton Abbey, but heck, I have four kids and no Anna,
ReplyDeleteso how am I supposed to do so? And what about the washing?
When I come home, I really like to put on sweats, and old t-shirt and a warm knitted vest above. Sounds awful? Yes, and it looks awful,too. But it is very comfy and warm.
Should i leave the house like this? uh-uh, better not, I think :-)
Greetings,
Tina
Heather Ross gnomes & puppies, please :-)))
I would love to wear all fleece outfits like my toddler does!
ReplyDeleteSwimming suit, if I had the body for it.
ReplyDeleteIf it were acceptable, I would totally want to wear fancy dresses and get some use out of those old bridesmaid gowns! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteRaggedy comfy warm clothes like sweats that i wear around the house but would never be worn in public:)
ReplyDeleteSuch great fabrics! Heather Ross and Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteI find myself wishing I could get away with running around in RenFest gear most of the year.
Austrian dirndle ;-) Totally.
ReplyDeleteTotally swimming suit all year round, but maybe that is because I would prefer the Caribbean over the midwest. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteNever really thought much about it...hmmm...I'd probably just really comfy worn out, warm clothes at least in the winter, oh and flip flops all the time! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOuuu, I'd love to put all sorts of crazy colors together and just not have to worry about what "goes" together! Great question ;)
ReplyDeleteIn the worm hole right now. Don't know if this counts, but if it were socially acceptable, I'd use a whole gamut of eyeliner colors to draw designs around my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI want to wear big sweaters with tight jeggings (I'm 60 - just a little too old for it).
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear those Mexican embroidered dresses every day. They're like pajamas, but beautiful. I'm pretty sure I'd get weird looks, and they're not really conducive to the winter. Otherwise, I would totally rock them. Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI wish I still had the... appropriate places to wear some of the crazy stuff I had in college. Or even just the really lovely felted flower garland that I bought for myself at a holiday gift fair but feel just a tiny touch too silly wearing it out.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I would totally wear my comfy workout clothes everywhere if I could but I never leave the house in them.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh you have chosen the cutest fabrics! Hmmmm, if it were socially acceptable I'd wear this awesome crocheted "dress" a friend made. Sunny side egg breasts & a skirt of bacon. I don't even eat eggs & bacon, but it's so much fun- albeit a bit revealing!
ReplyDeleteYoga pants and sweatshirts all the time!
ReplyDeleteI would just wear the same thing like 5 days in a row to cut down on laundry! :)
ReplyDeletepeachstateme at hotmail dot com
A kitchen apron - I'd wear mine out in public - they are comfy to wear!!!! I have several that I use but some are so filthy it is embarassing!! amycav at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI would wear a sari if it didn't look silly for a white girl to try and pull off a sari.
ReplyDeleteI would wear costumes whenever possible. I'm pretty geeky, but not quite geeky enough to cosplay, so the only time I dress up is Halloween. I would like to dress up at least once a month in costume and not be committed to a mental asylum.
ReplyDeleteLong johns. In waffle weave. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI'd wear my husband's well loved flannel shirt, that is missing a large portion of the left sleeve. It is so soft and comfy, but looks like someone got into a fight with a dog and lost.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wear skirts with clogs and handknit socks. But alas, the bohemian look is not really in where I work!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a vintage renaissance dress.
ReplyDeleteI would wear a beautiful ball gown and maybe a tiers! Can you tell I am sorta over the top? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI always thought grew up in the wrong century, because a dress with a bustle would show off the clevage and hide my butt. Thanks for the give away - love the Heather Ross.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun give away. I used to be in a punk band and now that i'm in my 30s I can't bring myself to throw out the crazy outfits I would wear on the stage. It might be fun to wear them again.
ReplyDeleteI would wear sweatpants everyday, if I could.
ReplyDeleteMy pajamas for sure - they're so comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't wear a bra if I didn't have to! Great giveaway! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wear my yoga pants and a t-shirt every day if I could.
ReplyDeleteI work from home, so I just look like crap all the time...and it is acceptable:)
ReplyDeletesweats and tshirts!!!!! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI just love wearing jeans and a tank top all the time...not socially unacceptable, except for at my office!
ReplyDeletemy husbands sweats?
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear a dress like Scarlett O'Hara wore in Gone with the Wind. Although, truly, I really would give about anything for pajamas to be socially acceptable for all occasions (I know you said that pjs don't count)! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh totally agree with Angie (comment above me) a period peice! But I would love to dress as Elizabeth Bennet all the time!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe just a beautiful ball gown lol I don't ever have an occasion for that. Oh and I'm a follower.
ReplyDeletea mou mou! I'm eight months pregnant and pants are the most uncomfortable thing in the world right now! :)
ReplyDelete
