I thought we would start 2012 off with a bang here on The Cottage Home with a giveaway from me to you. Why? Because I know I've told you before, but I so, so appreciate you all stopping by and leaving such sweet comments every day. This is the least I can do to say thank you for all your support.
So what do I have for you today?
I have a set of my favorite fabric organizers! These fabric organizers are the best. They make organizing your fabric yardage so easy. This set includes 72 organizers in three different sizes (24 of 3 different sizes). I did a post on these organizers awhile back (click HERE to read more).
Here's how the organizers work:
The organizers pictured above are for your yardage. They can hold up to 7-8 yards per organizer.
I'm all about getting organized this year, so I am so excited for one of you to win this set! There are many ways to organize your fabric, but trust me, these are the best!
In the pictures above, you can see the organizers in action. I took these pictures yesterday so this is what is currently stored in my studio on these mini-bolts (yes, I know, I think I need a support on my two shelves - lol - fabric is heavy). They will make your sewing room feel like a fabric store. When you can see all your fabrics clearly, it is incredibly inspiring and makes you want to create.
Next, I have a brand new book for you called 'The Busy Girls Guide to Sewing'. Like the title? Yes, I do too. I'm always feeling like there are never enough hours in the day to complete all the projects I have in my head. With 'The Busy Girls Guide to Sewing' by Carrie Maclennan, you can focus in on projects based on how much time you have to sew during the day.
My favorite part about this book is the way it's arranged into sections based on the amount of time you have to sew. Maybe it's 30 minutes or 60 minutes........whatever the amount of time you have, you can make sure to get your sewing fix. It also includes information about fabric, the creative online community and lots of other fun sewing tidbits.
I've taken the liberty to wrap two of the smaller organizers with some of my favorite trims from my personal collection. A majority of these are high-quality woven trims and all can be great additions to any of your sewing projects. I believe in focusing on the details in sewing and I think adding unique trims can help you achieve that heirloom quality look and feel. I cut most of these as one yard cuts, however, there are a few two yard cuts as well.
And what do you need to complete your latest sewing project? Woven labels! I ordered a set of these because I just thought you all would really love them. I love the saying, 'Made by Hand, Stitched with Love'. It's just so true. Whenever I am working on a project whether it is for one of my children, for a friend or even an order from my etsy shop, I am constantly thinking about the recipient. Thinking about how they will use the item, the look on their face when they receive it, and all the fun things that comes with giving handmade.
There are 3 yards worth of labels on one card which yields quite a few labels. I've also listed two more of these sets in my etsy shop, in case some of you would just prefer to snatch up one of these right now (click here).
And finally, I have a fat quarter bundle of some of my favorite Anna Griffin fabrics from her line, "Carmen". You will receive 8 fat quarters in coordinating prints for a total of two full yards. There are so many projects you can do with fat quarters that I think you will really enjoy this little collection.
So there you have it! A nice little giveaway to get your 2012 started off right.
The box of 72 organizers plus all the other goodies is packed and ready to be shipped to one of the lucky The Cottage Home blog readers.
Again, thank you all for your support and I'm looking forward to an inspiring, creative 2012!
