This giveaway is courtesy of Meerkat Shweshwe. This shop sells authentic South African shweshwe fabric. Lovely soft and durable cotton fabrics in so many great prints and colourways! To hear more about this unique shop you can read this interview with owner Céleste. The fabric is really nice to use quilts, bags and clothing alike. I worked with Meerkat Shweshwe to write two tutorials – How to Draft a Pinafore in any Size, and How to Sew a Reversible Pinafore. My youngest loves to wear it, and it’s a great every-season piece. Plus, little girls look so cute in them!
There’s an exciting event coming up this weekend! Céleste and I will both be presenting talks at Quilts at the Creek in Toronto’s Black Creek Pioneer Village on July 23 and 24. She will be presenting “The Shweshwe Saga – the Bolt and the Beautiful” and I will be presenting a trunk show called “Be Brave and Sew” – similar, but different from my spring Creativ Festival talk! We’d both love to see you there.
“Shweshwe, the “Tartan of South Africa” is super for garments, home decor or quilting. Besides shipping worldwide, I also offer pick up for customers who live close by and want to visit lovely Elora to collect their orders personally. Visit my retail store or for wholesale orders, visit our main site” ~ Meerkat Shweshwe
Céleste’s Favorite Sewing Tool
I love using my wooden seam presser when piecing with Shweshwe: I can press seams at the sewing machine without using the iron. The 100% cotton fabric responds so well to all manipulation.
Meerkat Shweshwe is giving away these Fat Quarter Bundles to a lucky winner – 3 metres of fabric in total! These bundles are created from the Cream of the Crop, Hot Ice 4, All Gold 4 prints. Not sure about you, but these are calling my name for sure! I’m so excited to be able to give them away to one of you.
