What's the Catch?



No catch! There are generally no conditions attached to my giveaways, I'm just giving away either treasures from my stash, or as in this instance items kindly provided by other companies. I hope that you will stay a while and read some other posts, perhaps even leave the odd comment, but that's entirely up to you. 

This particular offer is open to everyone, wherever you are in the world. 

If you'd like to be considered please just leave me a comment below, and that's it, consider yourself entered- it really is that simple. If for some reason you can't comment then you can use the contact form instead.

If you share a link to this page on social media and let me know you have done so I will put your name down twice for an extra chance at winning.  

Tip: to be sure you never miss a giveaway, or more importantly a notification that you might have won, why not subscribe to my blog...? It's easy, and you'll find where to do it on the top right ---->

Thank you's: 


Thank you again to Fair-trade Fabric for providing such wonderful giveaway prizes, and thank you dear readers for stopping by and for entering. Good luck to you all!

Tilda Fabric Fat Quarter Blog Hop: Fat Quarter Dress

I'm delighted to have been invited to take part in the Tilda Candy Bloom blog hop, organised by Stitch Craft Create. 

I was set the challenge of what to do with nine fat quarters... and this is what I came up with:

I love Tilda fabric, but I am used to the more subtle designs they have come up with in the past, so when this delightful bunch from the Candy Bloom collection exploded out of the envelope it put me in the mood for some fun!

Part beach cover-up, part everyday overdress, my design used all nine fat quarters, with minimal wastage.

If there is demand I will consider writing a tutorial, so don't forget to let me know if you'd like to see this by leaving me a comment below. 

And if you share a link and tag me on instagram or twitter I'll know you're really keen to have a go at recreating my dress!
