All week long I'm going to be sharing two of my favorite sewing materials:
PUL Fabric and FOE (Fold Over Elastic)
Ways to use them, tips & tricks for sewing, plus several brand new project tutorials. And to start this week of specialty fabric & notions, I have a fantastic giveaway for a $20 Gift Certificate to Diaper Sewing Supplies:
Diaper Sewing Supplies, is a great shop for cloth diaper making materials, but don't let the name fool you. They offer LOADS of supplies for those of us who are no longer in the diapering stage too.
I've purchased fantastic PUL prints there that I've used to make snowsuits, snow pants and waterproof mittens:

| My Waterproof Snowsuit, Insulated Mittens Tutorial and DIY Snow Pants Tutorial |
These prints also great for wet bags to use at the pool/beach or for making waterproof items for pets. And Diaper Sewing Supplies offers the very durable and food safe Eco-PUL™ in solid colors (I'll be sharing more on this ultra amazing stuff later this week):
They also have a great selection of FOE (Fold Over Elastic) which can be used in countless ways: an amazing alternative to bias tape, an ideal finish for knits, easy waistbands, stretchy straps, headbands and much more. These are some of their super cute prints, but they have a rainbow of solids too:
You can even get micro fleece & natural fiber fabrics, as well as snaps, velcro and specialty goodies like Lastin (clear elastic) and buttonhole elastic (the stuff that makes kid's pants adjustable). And they offer a choice of free gift with every purchase over $15. This has given me the chance to try out some sweet extras on my past orders, so I know it's a real added bonus!
Later this week I'll share some new projects and methods of making the most of using PUL Fabric and FOE, but to kick things off...

ReplyDeleteI love this shop already. Great giveaway. I think I'd possibly choose the Floral - Savannah Garden Print PUL. My 1 yr old Granddaughter is going to need some snow pants soon. (ACK! That's SUCH a horrible thought that winter is right around the corner) At least she'll be super cute with that fabric.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, thank you. I am really liking some of that fabric.

My daughter is potty trained but I still love PUL and FOE because there are so many neat ways to use it! I love the snow pants. :)
ReplyDeleteFold over elastic and/or the food safe material.
ReplyDeleteFold over elastic, fabrics, and snaps are all great for lots of projects---not just for diapers.
ReplyDeleteWAY HARD TO DEICED!! but I think I would go with snaps I just got a "snap-er" as I call it lol and it's opened a new world for me!! So many options!!!
ReplyDeleteI would get some hemp and bamboo for inserts! I love DSS!
ReplyDeleteI'd spring for FOE, snaps, and buttonhole elastic.
ReplyDeleteLove that fold over elastic!
ReplyDeleteOh, man! Colored Eco-PUL, colored snaps and colored fold-over elastic (I am currently hoarding my stash because I bought it in NYC and can't easily get more)? I am so glad you shared this! Somewhere, I have a link saved for a skirt that has a waistband of fold-over elastic, I've wanted to make some re-usable snack pouches, and the PUL is hard to find locally, and now that I have a great source for snaps, too, I can make them even more fun with the colorful snaps! I will be attacking my fabric stash soon...
ReplyDeleteI love the PUL Pirate Skulls and know my son would too. We are almost out of the cloth diaper stage, but I could use it to make him some snow pants for this winter. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteKAM snaps, hook and loop and some of the FOE! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would pick the Stars Red White on Navy PUL Fabric, Solid Red PUL Fabric, and Stars on Navy Foldover Elastic 1 inch PRINT Plush FOE. Love!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hawaiian Hibiscus red print PUL fabric - it would look great with red or black PUL solid fabric and red FOE - it would make the cutest training pants for my little girl!!!
