I get questions all the time about where I find all of the lovely fabrics I use for projects. It is my pleasure to formally introduce today you to one of my very favorite fabric shops on the internet: Sew Fresh Fabrics. Here’s why they’re my favorite:
- they have a ridiculously large selection of gorgeous designer fabrics (as in, they currently have over 700 items for sale!)
- and, if 700 items is overwhelming to you, they have an entire section of fabric combinations for you so that, if you’re not great at putting colors and prints together, or if you are unsure about combining fabrics because you can’t see them in person, you can purchase with confidence because these girls have a great eye (well, er, eyes. two people with on eye is weird.)
- and if you’re still not sure what you want or if you need to have a custom order set up, Peg & Becca (the shop owners) are incredibly helpful and quick to answer any questions you may have!
So, if you’re looking for a good place to buy Anna Maria Horner’s new line, or something by Amy Butler or those gorgeous remaining Heather Bailey prints for only $5.95/yard, or just want to browse through my favorite fabrics or need to build your stash with some great dots, this shop comes highly recommended.
And today, (yes friends, you knew a giveaway was coming, didn’t you?) I get to give away a big, fat, fat-quarter stack with eleven colourways of Robert Kauffman’s Metro Circles, as modeled today by our very own, Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong:
These eleven colourways, to be exact.
{FYI: a fat quarter is a quarter of a yard of fabric measuring roughly 18″x22″}
How about that? Free fabric and lots of it! Eh? Eh? If my calculations are correct, 11 fat quarters equals 2 3/4 yards of circular delight!
So, here’s the drill:
- One entry per person telling me what you’d make with the fabric if you won OR tell me your favorite fabric from their shop.
- Comments close Sunday, March 13th. One winner will be chosen at random.
- And for more sewing ideas and fabric combos, visit the Sew Fresh Fabric blog!
Seriously, whoever wins this is going to be so glad! Go! Enter! I hope you win! :)
(And know that I am trying my darndest to figure out how to move my comments to the bottom of my posts. My Blogger layout says it’s at the bottom, but I’m having a CSS issue somewhere and can’t seem to figure it out. Boo.)

>My go-to make is the apron knot dress… I love that they match fabrics for you, because I generally have to fine 3-5 coordinating fabrics to make a dress. Living in a small town, it's almost 2 hours to the nearest (decent) fabric shop, and so I'm thrilled to have been introduced to this shop! :)

And I love Sew Fresh…have recently been shopping with them and they're a great online fabric source! Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
>I would add the gray and orange into a quilt I am currently working on and I would use the green and black to finish the tool carrying case for pottery class. The rest would have to await their turn as stash builders.
>Somewhat devastated and in shock from the sheer volume of amazing fabrics. (I wasn't sure what I would make, so I figured I'd pick a favorite…yipes! How ignorant I was!)
So in lieu of a favorite, I'd make a table runner and tea towels, some burp cloths, and line a buttercup bag (Made-By-Rae's pattern).
The end.

>I got a sewing machine for Christmas (because I begged my hubby for it). I have yet to actually try to do anything with it…though I think about it often!

>Hmmmm…what to make? Aprons? That would be fabulous! Purses? Awesome! But I have to think I would use them in the 25 quilts I have running around in my brain right now! What I need to know is this: How can such a simple pattern–circles on a solid color look so amazing!
I placed my first order from SewFreshFabrics about a month ago, and asked for a custom order as well. It was a great shopping experience–they were quick and gracious in their responses to me and the fabric was at my door before I knew it! I can hardly wait for the pewter background with white rings to get back in stock!
Thanks for sharing,
