Sew Mama Sew Supplies Giveaway!

Hi! I almost forgot I was saving this for the SMS Giveaway! Silly me :)
*Giveaway Now Closed*



I'd always thought it was an urban myth that people would walk into their local TJMaxx's and find Heather Ross prints on PJ's. Well guess what! Ok, you don't have to guess since you've seen already, but I found some and they were on sale for 10 dollars or so. And since there's probably around a yard or so of fabric once you cut them all up that's not bad :)



Now this is the flannel fabric so it's the teensiest bit fuzzy. I don't drink coffee but I do think the donuts, sticks and sugar are cute. As is the little tag



Would you like some? Since there are some sleeves and legs, how about we have 3 winners? I'll have the Random Number Generator select three different people. Since I love presents how about you answer this: What's a present would you like to receive? (or give, fine :) )

Celebratory Monkey! And just another shot of the price tag because it's fun too. No one will ever know if these are the perfect pajamas as I'm cuttin' 'em up, bahaha!

 Giveaway ends May 16th at 12 a.m. MST (That's 12 midnight). Winner will be notified within three days. Winner  will be notified here and by email. Winning will be sent within 30 days. If winners do not respond within 24 hours new winners will be randomly selected as per above.



*I've already had a few no-reply bloggers enter.  If you are a no-reply blogger I will re-draw, sorry.  It's safer to leave your email in your answer like this: coolestpersonname {at} gmail [dot] com. If you don't get responses to blog comments you are probably no-reply. Only one comment per person counted in giveaway. 

I normally reply to all comments but for a Heather Ross giveaway I'll probably throw in the flannel monkey towel and just say I do so love that you've come all the way over to my blog, Thank you!  I'd love if you followed me and am doing a follower giveaway on Sunday :)

Monday Sunday Stash

I got some Spoonflower for the first time. If you're not familiar with them, it's a site where you can upload your own fabric designs and get them printed! There are hundreds of beautiful designs and you can get them on different kinds of fabric like Kona Cotton and even silk. If you buy from another designer they get a portion of the profits. I really like Holli Zollinger's fabrics and here are some hand-shadow animals that are super cute. How about some extinct animals like rainbow Auroch's? I got the mustardy saber toothed cats.

I love them! They are 2 1/8" big or the perfect scale to make a skirt out of.  A note about the fabric itself... I wanted to show you one side of the selvages. I guess they need to be bigger because of their printing process. They're almost three inches wide, the next biggest selvages I've seen are the Birch fabrics. I was surprised at both. Now you know. The printing looks just like other fabrics you buy. The giraffe one has a "linen" background so it is a bit crosshatched. 

The squid is from Heather Ross's Spoonflower page, the giraffe and skandi rabbits/plaid deer are from Holli Zollinger. It is a bit difficult to figure out scale in real life. The giraffe and sabertooth ones were what I though but the squid and rabbits were about 3x's as big as I though they'd be. It's not the cheapest fabric around but you can't beat the originality and unique nature of printing from a virtually unknown designer. 

If you see a design you like but it's not exactly what you were looking for I'd encourage you to message the designer. They might say no to any requests or they might be like the designer of the sabertooth cats. I sent a message to him saying that if he ever decided to put his design up for sale I'd like to buy some and he responded quickly that he would change it to for sale. Since he answered me so quickly I figured I might as well ask if he ever considered having the design in other colors, it was originally a rainbow of cats. He asked which color, I said yellow, and soon after that he listed a yellow version! Stellar communication and kindness. I got beautiful fabric and he got a sale. Win and win.
