You may have noticed this cute picture currently residing at the bottom of my sidebar.
BlogtoberFest is an annual blogging festival, the point of which is to:
* challenge yourself to blog every day for 31 days
* discover kindred blogging spirits
* carve out a tiny slice of time each day to write and to read
* share any creative projects you have on the go
* host a giveaway, if you feel inclined to spread the love
So I thought, let’s give it a whirl!
This is the first time I have hosted a giveaway on my blog. I was a bit unsure exactly what to give away…
Then I looked at all the fabric spilling out from my cupboard…!
So…one lucky person will receive six good-sized bits of vintage fabrics (barkcloths and cottons) pictured above.
Perfect for patchwork, purses, or projects.
And that’s not all!
The giveaway also includes:
A vintage button brooch in a handmade drawstring bag!
And…
A fab vintage fabric napkin, from my collection!
Plus I’ll throw in a few other little surprise items… 
To be in with a chance of receiving the goodies:
- leave a comment in the “leave a reply” form below, or by clicking on the speech bubble next to this post’s title
- follow this blog (if you don’t already) – see the sidebar for how
- pop over and click “like” on my Facebook page
The closing date for entry is Friday 19th October.
Happy BlogtoberFest -
And good luck!
Ooo oh! What an exciting prize! I would so love to win, I would use the fabric in the photos of my vintage china xxx good luck with your competition…who knew it was blogtoberfest?
Thanks Sue! Nice to see you – and good luck!
Hey, can I take part in it?
It want these too!!
Of course! Just follow my blog, and pop over to my facebook page and like it too. Then you’re entered in the draw!
Oooh. I’d love to be entered. What a great idea! Xx
WOW! What a fab giveaway – that napkin is just asking to be made into a cushion!!
(ps – have really enjoyed your daily blogs) x
Thanks Sarah! The napkin is a little bit small for a cushion on its own, but with some nifty patchwork round the sides it would make a lovely centre panel for one!
Great fabrics for dresses for dollies
Now that’s a use for them I hadn’t thought of! Although, some of the barkcloths might be a little thick if you’re making frocks for very little dollies.
What a fabulous giveaway! Vintage fabric is just so nice, bright and unusual….good luck with the every day blogging – cant wait to read what you will put each day
x
I do blog nearly every day anyway, so it’s not too big a commitment beyond the usual, but I’m really hoping that inspiration doesn’t desert me this month!
Oh, I would love to be included in this giveaway. I love all your posts, it always feels like “going home” to me. You and my mom must be kindred spirits.

Amanda – Blossom Fair x
I’m always looking for scrappy bits to make interesting purses, pouches and sewing kits.This looks like a lovely collection -thanks for the chance
I’m now following your blog and facebook page.
Thank you! I couldn’t find you on facebook – are you called something else on there?
Wow. Lovely goodies
I follow your blog and liked your FB page
Lovely giveaway – I’ve never seen barkcloth before and I adore the brooch
Thanks for the chance!
I’d love a chance to win this fun and funky fabric! Please count me in!
Ooooh, the ancient blanket stuffed seat pad on my old purple bentwood chair could have a matching partner if I won that gorgeous fabric stash! Love Modflowers, you make me feel all warm and cosy!
Lovely! Though I think it fair to warn you that each bit of fabric isn’t quite big enough on its own to make a whole cushion, so you’d need to sew them together. Which would make a very pretty patchwork!
What a gorgeous brooch! And a little home for it to live in! Nice! I can see a funky patched bag made out of that fabric!
Aww I didn’t realise it was Blogtoberfest, maybe I could try Blognoverfest, doesn’t quite sound right, anyway lovin the textiles, today is Friday so its creative day, Best get to it, keep up the great work, I love your brooches in your Etsy shop x J
I have liked your Facebook page and am an avid follower! What a lovely selection of goodies.

i don’t know how i missed blogtoberfest this year. Oh well, there’s also next year.
I’m not much of a sewer but I love collecting vintage fabrics & napkins – would love to win & try to sew something.
Nice to hear from you Anastacia, but alas, the prize has already been won for Blogtoberfest.
Keep popping by though, as I plan to offer more giveaways in future!
