i love that fabric. it's so simple, but so so pretty! i think it screams to be made into a bag (but then, I think most things scream to be made into a bag...)

sherri s. said...

Patchwork bag, for sure (or coasters!). Thanks for the chance to win! Enjoyed scrolling through your blog (not much time to spare--giveaways to enter!)

sy said...

the fabric prints look so clean :D i think i'll use the fabric with others to make patchword pouch or handbag. thanks for hosting the giveaway!

Lisa Bee said...

Those are very nice fabrics. I like the simplicity of them. I would probably use them in a quilt, since that's most of what I'm sewing right now. I might make them into part of a bag, though.

Jessy said...

Oh those are lovely! I think the graph paper one would become a purse lining, and the other one would end up in a baby quilt. What a great giveaway!

i have a little nephew on the way. i would make him something out of these :)

Crafty Librarian said...

I'd write a quilt poem on the lined fabric in my neatest embroidery handwriting. In fact, I'd make a double sided mini hanging, with some cryptic equations on the other side, for inspiration on days when I'm in a scientific mood.

Unknown said...

id sew curtains for my old wardrobe and write a poem in the middle of it :) yeah.

Kelly Rachel said...

Oh, beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity.
Those little FQ's would be subjected to my naughty scissors, which love to cut things up into small and smaller pieces, then they would be punched through with a sharp needle many hundreds of time and have thread stuck throughout them. Oh, sounds so sad. But then they would make friends with some nearby fabrics which suffered a similar fate, so in they end they could all be happy together! Yay!

Jodie said...

I'd use this fabric to cover a notebook for jotting down all my ideas and the crafty projects I want to do. Thanks for the chance to win!

Bunty said...

I am thinking a pencil case? those freshly sharpened pencils inspired me :)

Paulina said...

I love embroidery. So far I focused on Hardanger but these fabrics would be great to try some other types of embroidery. So, really, really willing to win this giveaway :) (like everybody else that commented here I guess, haha)

Unknown said...

Thank you for the giveaway, I think that I would make some egg cosies! x

Anonymous said...

oh, the possibilities!!! I'm thinking a little twirly skirt, with my daughter's name embroidered in d'nealian near the hem... or maybe make an embroidered piece out of these for framing, with something my daughter has wrote (on the lined) and a picture that goes with it (on the graph paper)... oh, I love this giveaway, crossing my fingers!

Megan said...

The fabrics are so great! I would make a bag and shorts for the beach!!

So cute!! I would definitely use these for a notebook cover, and maybe a little makeup bag as well. Whichever, I would, without a doubt, embroider something - a to do list maybe? OH, or a heading like we always had to do in school (name, grade, homeroom number, date)! - along the lines. How could you not?! Thanks for the giveaway chance!

Carrie said...

I would add them to my stash for a pieced quilt for a baby boy. Such good colors for that.

Unknown said...

I think it would look great as a pencil case or worked into an otherwise brightly-colored quilt.

a little sparc said...

I love the soft colors of the fabric. Sort of pastel like. What I'd do with this fabric would be to look at it for a few months, and eventually make maybe a bag or coin pouch.

UmmaThreads~ Crafty Squirrel said...

I love the check print, it looks alot like the graph paper I use for patterns, b/c I can't cut or draw a straight line to save my life. I would use it to make an matching pin cushion, sewing notions cup, small zipper pouch & laminate a ruler. The other fabric I would hang on my wall picture framed with the words slanting down saying "is my head on straight".

Rose said...

I would either embroider math sums all over and put into a quilt for my son who is a math lover or turn into journal covers with a name or subject embroidered on the front. (Hand embroidery as I don't have an embroidery machine)

M and E said...

I've never embroidered anything before, but it seems like a waste not to put some little embroidered words on notebook paper fabric!

maxandellie at gmail dot com

Jessica said...

I think that maybe a fun bag would be in order.

Kristen said...

This is graph paper and lined paper fabric!?? Awesome. I could see a fun set of embroidery uses for this! As a math teacher this would totally make my day as a quilter!!!

I was thinking of having my daughter writing on the paper "I love Daddy!" and giving it to him for Father's Day embroidered over her lettering.

Mama24Monkeys said...

A baby quilt, yep that what I would make, a baby quilt.

adriane said...

These would be *perfect* for a pair of oven mitts from "simple sewing" by lotta. I've been looking for the perfect fabric, and this is it!

CrochetnQuilt said...

I think the fabric would make it as a highlighted piece in a tote bag.

Anonymous said...

Yes! I have been looking for that girl friday fabric, the dotted lines one. I saw in a sewmamasew tutorial once that someone had used it as a template for embroidering words, thought it was too too cute.

Susanne said...

Oh my, great fabric! My son is learning how to write, so it reminds me of lined paper. I think I would give him a fabric marker and let him practice his writing, then incorporate the piece into a tote/library bag, perhaps. Thanks for the chance to win!
susanne.ruder(at)gmail.com

Kathy MacKie said...

I think it would look great in a baby quilt!

My brother and his long-time girlfriend are going to get married, and are both finishing math Ph.D degrees. So I would use the fabric to embroider math formulas for a quilt for their wedding gift.
