Dear Stella Multi-Yard Knit Fabric Giveaway!


Fabric Lovers, have I got a fabric giveaway for you!  How about some serious yardage of brand new knit fabrics?  As in TWO 2 yard cuts of coordinating knit fabrics?!?

Last month I shared the news that Dear Stella (sister company of Timeless Treasures) had released a brand new collection of knit fabrics:


and I shared a tutorial for my Any Size Knit Play Dress using their Fresh Dew prints:



Today I'm kicking off a celebration of sewing with knits by giving away a set of 2 yard cuts of both Flamingoes Bay and Scallop Dot Guava cotton knit fabric, courtesy of Dear Stella.



These knits are medium weight 95% cotton + 5% spandex with a 50%, 4 way stretch.  At 58 inches wide they give maximum width options.  And if you're new to knits or don't have a serger, don't worry!  This giveaway is kicking off my new series of Sewing with Knits on a sewing machine. From tips & techniques, to knit project tutorials and recommendations, I've got you covered when it comes to sewing knits!



The project possibilities with generous 2 yard cuts are endless.  Loads of options for adults, as well as kids, like tops, leggings, pillowcases, baby clothes, headbands and blankets, just to name a few.

I can speak from experience that this much fabric makes a comfy, easy to sew, ladies maxi dress, like this one I've recently sewed up with the Scallop Guava & Fossil:



As well as a fabulous kid-sized maxi dress (easy-sew tutorial coming soon):



With 4 yards total up for grabs - it's perfect to make a Mommy & Me outfit combination:



Even cuddly soft toys like my Seahorse Plushie (pattern also coming soon) are fun & easy using these fabulous knit fabrics: 




Now, time for you to enter for a chance to win this fabulous multi-yard knit fabric duo:
