This is getting embarrassing now

Umm... I won again! I really don't win things outside of the blogging world, so not sure why this is different here!

The very lovely Ruth, over at The Polished Button, has just opened her online store. Previously she sold on Etsy, but this is an actual web store. Go have a look! To celebrate its opening, Ruth had a week of giveaways on the run up to the launch, and one of those was 2 metres of this lovely fabric, which I won!!!

It arrived in the most lovely packaging.


The measuring tape is actually a sticker, as is the round button. The dressform is Ruth's beautiful business card! It makes me want my own business, just so I can buy cool stuff like this!

Ruth described the fabric as a cotton chambray. It's beautifully drapey and lightweight. Perfect for summer. I haven't yet figured out what to make with it. Ruth has some for herself, which she is planning on making into a Mathilde. I am thinking maybe a Laurel dress? Or a Miette? Or what about this vintage pattern?



What do you think?

    What a lovely fabric. To me it says a separate, and I can see it as a blouse but think it would make a great Miette.

      Tough decision! And funny that you say a seperate, I think I am veering more towards that direction too!

    Ooh I love No.2 on your vintage pattern - can't wait to see what you make with it! Incidentally, I had LOTS of fun choosing all the stickers, packaging and business cards, although I spent a small fortune!

      Yes, No 2 is what I'm thinking!

      Between the stickers, business cards and the buttons, I don't know how you manage to make any profit! You must have amazing self-control! :)

    Lovely fabric, and I vote for the vintage pattern. That print would also look lovely in a Miette though. The polished button is great, I got some stuff from there a while back and was very impressed.

      It's a tough decision, I know! Pity I can't squeeze both out of it! And yes, The Polished Button is great!
