Giveaway No. 8! Don’t forget to come back, there will be 2 prizes each day this week and 3 on Friday! (Find out more or Link to all of the giveaways)
This giveaway is from Seam Allowance. This shop was interviewed here just a few months ago, and they have a beautifully curated collection of fabric!
“I love carrying fabrics that have usually been hard to find in Canadian shops. It makes me so happy when a customer tells me how happy they are to finally find a Canadian shop that carries something they were looking for. The struggle is real!” ~ Seam Allowance
Nikki’s Sewing Tip: My favorite sewing tip, although technically not a “tip”, is to listen to audio books while you sew. I’ve listened to so many great books (everyone, you HAVE to listen to The Girl With All the Gifts) while sewing, and it makes sewing twice as much fun!
Today’s giveaway is 4 half-yards of gorgeous fabric! LOVE these colours together.

Giveaway No. 7! Don’t forget to come back, there will be 2 prizes each day this week and 3 on Friday! (Find out more or Link to all of the giveaways)
Today’s giveaway is from Fabric Please! (and she’s offering the week’s largest giveaway – 3 prizes for 3 different winners!). I got to meet Rita from Fabric Please! at Creativ Festival this year and I just used my blogger bundle to finally make myself a Diamond String throw pillow.
“Jardin de Provence has arrived! Fabric Please! now carries the entire line designed by Daphne B. for Windham Fabrics. We are also offering the Moccasin BOM by GenX Quilters! Buy the pattern as a whole or do the Block of the Month subscription! ” ~ Fabric Please!
Rita’s Sewing Tip: Maintenance is key – sewing machine maintenance (cleaning, change needles), personal maintenance (Hydrate – drink water, move/stretch often), tool maintenance (change rotary blades). The maker is only as good as his tools! They need not be expensive – just in good working order.
Today’s giveaway will have 3 different winners! Each winner will win a random pick of one of these Canadian designed and made Cantik Batik 2 1/2″ Precut Rolls – #1: Christmas Traditions, #2: Winter Solstice, #3: Evening Shadows.

Today’s second giveaway is from Sew Sisters. I got to interview them this year and I love how they started out!
“Sew Sisters Quilt Shop is a Canadian Quilt Store dedicated to all things quilting. Whether shopping online or in person at our store in Toronto our goal is to provide you with great service and offer top quality products at the best possible price. We have a large selection of quilting fabric, patterns, books and notions – everything you need to complete your unique quilts! Be sure to check out our very large Sale Section with over 400 bolts of fabric for only $7.99/metre!” ~ Sew Sisters
Judy’s Sewing Tip: When you need to keep colours sorted while sewing – why not look in your baking cupboard? I sort small pieces into muffin cups and strips onto cookie sheets. At the end of the day they can be tidied up easily just by stacking them up! (Works great for Lego projects too!)
Today’s giveaway is a 10 Fat Quarter bundle of Maker by AGF Studio for Art Gallery Fabrics. WOW!

Here’s Giveaway No. 5! Don’t forget to come back, there will be 2 prizes each day this week and 3 on Friday! (Find out more or Link to all of the giveaways)
The first giveaway today is from Fabric Spark. I’ve made so many things with their fabric, including my favorite skirt and my favorite kid’s dress!
“Fabric Spark is a great place to find fabric and creative inspiration – whether you’re sewing quilts, making clothing, or sewing for kids. Hundreds of curated choices representing the best collections, the best designers, and the best patterns from Independent Pattern Makers. From a fellow fabric lover, enthusiastic crafter and sewing experimenter – Sewists Unite!” ~ Fabric Spark
Daryl’s Sewing Tip: My best sewing tip is to take on something you’ve never sewn before. If you’re a quilter – make a dress, if you sew bags – slip-cover a chair. There is so much helpful information on blogs like Thread Riding Hood, your hand will be held every step of the way, and sewing is one of the most transferable skills there is. It will open up a whole new world of creative opportunities.
Fabric Spark is giving away the July 10 Fat Quarter Bundle from the new Free Spirit Monthly Subscription.

Today’s second giveaway is from Country Clothesline. This shop is FULL of amazing gorgeous fabrics. I just finished a top for my daughter in one of them. (and there’s a tutorial!)

Sylvia’s Sewing Tip: Remember those little reinforcements we used (back in the day) on our paper for our binders? Well, they are a great way to label your sewing machine bobbins, so you won’t forget which thread you have on which bobbin – you can find them at your dollar store or stationary store.
Country Clothesline is giving away a gorgeous “Summer Fun Bundle” with 8 fat quarters!
