To celebrate, I will be giving away some fat quarters and one of my favorite notions.
First, I have for you five fat quarters from Michelle Engel Benscko's line Shade Garden. These fabrics are featured in my Shady Zig Zags quilt.
Second, you will have a chance to win a Sewline mechanical fabric pencil. This pencil is awesome! As I was working on my Christmas quilt I realized the need for a good fabric pencil. The method I am using to make the flying geese requires markings and I was becoming increasingly frustrated with inexpensive pencils that wouldn't write and fabric markers that disappeared. So, I decided to splurge and purchase one of the Sewline pencils. Best decision I could have made! It marks wonderfully, can be erased, and there are lead refills that you can buy in a variety of different colors.
To enter, please leave a comment describing your favorite sewing project. It can be a quilt, purse, or clothing. Be as descriptive as possible and leave links if you like! You have until 11:59pm on Thursday, May 20th to enter! I will post a winner on Friday morning! Good luck!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 415 Newer› Newest»Your giveaway looks awesome I love the fabric you picked. My favorite sewing project is always the one I am currently working on so my favorite changes constantly I love new projects and watching them develope. Thanks for the chance to win.
Currently my favorite project is refashioning men's shirts. I'm working on my fourth, out of six. It's really fun, especially to do them in a series and make each one different.
You can see my progress on my blog.
my favorite sewing project to date is the brown/yellow/orange-themed scrap bucket i made myself. i used only scraps and randomly pieced them together... and i looove the result! i actually quite enjoy taking scraps and creating a block/coaster/little masterpiece. i have already started on a pink-themed one!
I'm a fairly new sewer and so far have loved everything I've done! :-)
My favorite project was a St. Patrick's Day dress for my daughter with matching hairband. She got a million compliments when she wore it!
My favorite sewing projest was the 4th of July quilt I pieced earlier this year and need to quilt. Hopefully it will be done by the 4th of July! Tried to find a pic of the pattern online, but no luck.
I think my favorite sewing project was an "I spy" quilt that I made for my daughter when she was a toddler. She loved it then and now she always wants to sleep on her "mama made" quilt. :)
i made each of my boys a quilt when they were babies...now i get to make one for my daughter!

Oh, wow! I've been thinking there wasn't any better alternative to the unmarking and fading sewing pens. So glad to hear of this.
My favorite project is a dress I made for my daughter. The fabrics, pattern, and just general overall feel of the dress are adorable and suit her so well.
I am obsessed with quilts right now! I don't know why but am!
I'm in the middle of making myself a small, cross-body purse that I hope will come out the way I want - fingers crossed.
Great giveaway - thanks!

My favorite sewing project is one currently still in progress. I went to visit my grandma for the first time in years a few weeks ago to have her teach me how to piece quilts. I let her choose all of the fabrics and we chose a pattern together. I'm still working on piecing the quilt top, but the memories this quilt have for me will make it most cherished even if my first shot at quilting has the potential to stink. :)
Thanks for the chance at the giveaway. <3
favorite sewing adventure was the tessellation quilt top I just finished and I am so proud of myself seeing how it is my third quilt to date:P
Great giveaway! I enjoy sewing clothes for my kids--mostly Halloween costumes, sometimes dresses. Shelly sal4qt@gmail.com
My favorite sewing project (lately) was a messenger bag I made for my daughter. I randomly sewed shapes on a border using my machine and upholstery thread. It was really fun.
I am currently working on my first quilt and it has been my favorite project so far. It's an I-Spy Quilt of sorts. I made wonky star blocks each with an "I-Spy" square in the middle.

my favorite right now is stitching up all those little hexagons...great way to use scraps and create a unique applique!
I am still trying to make my favorite project. This sounds bad, but I end up giving everything away so I don't look at it and so others can enjoy it! Thank you for the giveaway!
Oooh! love the fabrics!
My favorite project was a quilt a made for a friend getting married, I had so much fun making it and she loved it!
My favourite sewing project was the first dress I made for my daughter. It was very simple, but my fabric choices worked out so well on her - I got so many compliments on that dress!
Thanks for the chance to win :)
Ooo loving the colors of the fabrics. My favorite sewing project is making dresses for my daughters, I love the art of clothing construction. Thank you for the chance to win :)

My new favorite project is a selvage string quilt. It is so addicting! Thanks for the fabulous giveaway.
spackattak7 at hotmail dot com
I love that pencil. I have always really wanted to try it but haven't jumped in for the splurge. I love making baby quilts.
My favorite sewing project was making a dress for my daughter when she was young. I had her laying on a piece of newspaper to make the pattern. She still thinks thats where patterns come from. She picked the fabric and of course a matching bow for her hair.
I don't know about favorite. Once I finish a quilt, I just love it -- all of them. I do love some overalls I repurposed into dresses for my daughters -- I used Alexander Henry's fairy prints from a number of years ago -- don't remember the exact name. I added ruffles to the bottom and covered the bib, did some applique. Very cute.

Hi! My favorite so far has been the "Triangle Block Sew Along" at SMS. I've never been brave enough to do a quilt with anything other than squares, before. Working with triangles was quite daring, for me!
http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=6241
I've loved making little swaddle blankets and other baby things for my friends and our first!
Wow - awesome giveaway!
Do you know I use a ballpoint pen for marking on fabric? I know, shameful!
I recently made a swing coat for my 3 year old daughter out of my husband's old green plaid shirt. I did it without a pattern so it will probably never hold up in a wash, but I love it!
My favorite sewing project is whatever I have sewing at that time! I love sewing everything and really love when I have new projects to work on. My next thing will be an actual quilt and I can't wait to get it started! tiffsteryoung@hotmail.com
I loved making my daughter's dress out of a vintage pillow case: http://mykindofanonymousblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/post-easter-spring-dresses.html. Thanks!
nanceykl@yahoo.com
I don't really have a favorite honestly. I enjoy them all so much. Curtains are probably low on the list, but kids clothes, blankets and decor are all happy making things. I can just look at them and feel proud and accomplished all over again!
I'm fairly new to sewing so I haven't made anything too complex, but my favorite project has been a tie appliqued onesie, just cause it is super cute!
shannon.mangerchine(at)gmail(dot)com
My favorite sewing project was a string quilt I made for my daughter, that I will post better pictures of for the bloggers quilt festival, but here's the link for now!

Love the zigzag quilt you made. My favorite sewing project is probably the one I'm working on right now--a quilt square exchange quilt. It was so fun to get everyone's beautiful blocks, and I must say, the quilt is turning out stunning! Thanks for the chance to win.

What a nice giveaway, my fave sewing project was my first quilt for my Grandmother who at the time was going to chemo
My favorite projects are bags. After making a few fro patterns, I can design my own, but everytime I make a new one with a pattern,I learn something new! Love that! I'm intrigued by the pencil, I'll have to check that out!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great giveaway! I've never seen a sewline pencil... that would be very handy to have. Thanks for introducing it to me!
My favorite sewing project thus far has to be the beautiful Waldorf Doll I made my daughter this past Christmas...probably because she LOVES it so much! Thanks for the generous giveaway!
One of my favorite projects that i may never finish is a granny square blanket. But it's totally ok cause I love having all my yarn and finished squares in a basket to just pick it up whenever I want! It looks pretty just sitting there next to the couch. I have lots of colors of yarn, colors I love, so it's as much of a sweet little decorative thing as it is my forever project! Thank you for your giveaway, I didn't even know they made fabric mechanical pencils!! Take care!

This is my favorite recent project! I loved making it.
I love making baby quilts. I love to think about the new little baby as I put each piece together, and if I am really lucky it becomes their favorite blankie and carry it everywhere. Sigh. I love babies.
i'm not much for traditional, intricate patterns...but i just started my first double wedding ring quilt and i truly love it. i feel so involved with the fabrics, and it's probably my favorite sewing project to date!
Love the fabric. Right now my favorite project is a car seat cover for my daughter (to help avoid all the senior citizens that want to touch her cheeks!). I am attempting to make it look like a quilt. We will see how it turns out, as it's my first attempt!
My favorite is a giant log cabin quilt I"m making for my brother-in-law.
My favorite sewing project has been a "zig zag" quilt that I made using a tutorial I found on the purl bee. I used Heather Ross' Mendocino prints and I just love how the zig zags look like waves!

My favorite sewing project are the pirate quilts I made my boys. I collected fabric for over a year and had to really plan and watch my fabric placements. It was hard for me and the quilts turned out so wonderfully!

I've only been sewing since March.. so in my two months of experience (haha!)

Quilts are my favorite, of course. The current quilt is usually my favorite, so it changes all the time!
My favorite recent sewing project is a quilt I'm working on, where any of my friends who want to are making a square, and I'm putting them all together to make a quilt! I will in return make a square (or any other item) for them. Fun fun!
My favorite project at the moment is quilting and it's usually whatever I'm working on at the moment. Right now I'm piecing a simple Farmer's Market Picnic Quilt with a basketweave pattern in the sashing and fruit/veggie print blocks. I just love all the bright colors and knowing that my family will be enjoying summer picnics on it! Other recent projects are posted on my blog megsmonkeybeans.blogspot.com

I could use a good pencil. My favorite sewing project was probably a little jumper I made for my niece out of Alexander Henry's Spotted Owl fabric.
My favorite project is probably a simple dress that I made for my daughter's 3rd Bday. It was the first real thing I ever sewed and I was so proud of it even though it had buttons in the back since I couldn't sew a decent zipper. I really should try my hand at that now since I have alot more sewing experience.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway.

My favorite sewing project is making western style shirts for my husband. He likes them with an edge and I have been known to use skull fabric! I use western snaps from cowgirl snaps in Portland, OR, and she makes them locally and has great color selection! I made a black shirt useing Brittish Green thread and snaps for Adam and he loves it! It is his favorite one to wear when he is on his motor cycle- a Triumph Bonneville- a Brittish bike!
My new obsession is hexagon quilts :) great scrap buster!
LOVE this giveaway--gorgeous fabrics, thanks for the chance!
I have been loving making crayon rolls lately--so much fun!
I love tying flannel quilts. Quick and simple, but so soft and warm. jpetersen[at]cableone[dot]net
One of my fav quilting projects was a basket I gave a way on Giveaway day. The basket was a free pattern offered by aruymill over at pinkpenquin blog. Won by Duff over at bacontheneggs blog. Read all about it on my blog PiecefulDay.Squarespace.com Duff wanted me to match one of her gorgeous pieces of art on the wall above her fireplace and I really worked hard on it and she was so happy it made me so happy!!
My favorite project is a tree skirt I just finished as a wedding gift. I used a tutorial from Tallgrass Prairie Studios that was featured on the SMS Handmade Holidays. It's square and modern and clean and came out great!
cute giveaway! My favorite projects are always dresses made from vintage patterns.
fausseparisienne at gmail dot com
I love to sew purses--creative and quick. Each one is intended to be mine but I'm usually a bit bored with them and they become gifts. I'm still on the lookout for the perfect pattern for me.
Oooh these are gorgeous fabrics and I love that they are organic, too. I am new to sewing and my favorite project so far is the dress I made for my friend's child's first birthday. It's my profile pic. knit1purljill (at) gmail (dot) com
Definitely the dress I made for my daughter. I am not an advanced sewer, but you know how having a baby makes you want to craft! It was kind of an apron style with cross over straps and buttons--so cute! I hoped it would fit her for a while, but she grew out of it in months. Oh well, just a reason to sew her more clothes!
Whoah, those pencils look really useful! My favorite sewing project was this wall hanging with pockets that I made for my niece with some Momo Wonderland fabrics.
What gorgeous fabric! My favorite sewing project recently was my daughter's birthday skirt. She had a Winnie the Pooh second birthday, and I had fun making her a skirt with pooh fabric and honey bees fabric. Thanks for the opportunity
Here is a link to some pictures of the skirt on my blog:

I'm a big, bag, pocket, pouch, clutch maker. It's a sickness! ;o)
Thank you for the giveaway!
My recent favorite project was an I spy quilt for my daughter. sang@gci.net
I've adored making bags since a started a little over a year ago, but quilting is my new thing. I took a class and now I'm hooked!
I love making patchwork pillows using lots of different pattern combinations!
I would love to win! What a great giveaway! My favorite projects are making fun clothes for my little girl! :-) Thanks so much!
My favorite sewing project is the one that grabs my attention at the time. I've been hooked on totes lately.
Oh wow, this is an amazing giveaway! I am right now working on my favorite project. My mum is really ill, and 2 years ago I had given her stips for a quilt that was already cut ready for her to sew together. She never got around to it, so I asked daddy if I might take it back and make it for her. I have the top made which is a interlocked squares pattern. The double border consists of a burgundy solid fabric of which I plan to hand stitch words of love and encouragement for her to know how much she is loved. The pencil that you are giving away would work wonderfully for this part of the project. Hope I win.
i love shade garden! i've only seen it online, but this it's gorgeous.
i finished my first quilt recently, and while it wasn't a total success, i'm happy i did it!!
I think my favorite project was my first quilt.
Ooooo.. I love those colors. They look just like my *current* favorite sewing project: a quilt that I'm making for my bed. It's from the Cherish Nature line, so it's also teal and brown (which is what those fabrics look like in the picture).
That pencil is awesome! I've never seen anything like that!
Quilting is my favorite! So relaxing and FUN.
My favorite project is one that I do with my daughter's 4-H group. We make seemless pillowcases for the Akron Children's Hospital! So much fun to bring joy to someone's face in a not so joyful situation!
epblack at zoominternet dot net
My favorite craft project is actually soap and bath salts. People LOVE them which makes me happy. :D
Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm just starting to get into sewing. I haven't done much besides some fabric hair clips but I'd love to make skirts and dresses for my little girl.

I love piecing quilt tops, am getting better at liking the machine quilting part, and absolutely love making bags and small projects that provide the instant gratification factor to crafting!

my favourite sewing project right now is a zig zag quilt i'm making for my wedding in september. it will be used as a backdrop for our pictures.
My favorite sewing project was the bedding and curtains for my sons nursery. It was various light blue and green prints, most from Laura Ashley, and my first big sewing project. Pretty soon I get to do my daughters set!
Hmmm... I've never heard of a sewing pencil! Interesting!
My favorite project I've done was a baby quilt that was just one big log cabin in light blue and white. I was so happy with how it turned out! & then I gave it to my cousin when she had her baby, and she never thanked me! Urgh!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to quilt (but often get distracted with napkins, purses and scarves). Thanks so much for letting us all explore your blog!
Oh my, I am so sorry about what happened to your top. I think it would have made me cry.
thanks for the giveaway.
ecaughron at gmail dot com
So far, my favorite project has been this one:
http://bethlucas.blogspot.com/2010/04/aaaaand-one-more.html
I took *forever* (rip a seam, sew a seam, rip a seam, etc.) even though I've made this pattern several times before. But I just love how the fabric looks now that it's all done :)
http://bethlucas.blogspot.com/2010/04/aaaaand-one-more.html
My favorite sewing project is a purse I just made for myself. It's a cross-body bag and kind of a bulgy shape, but its in six different fabrics in different shades of blue, turquoise and green and it's just gorgeous. Here's a link:
http://dustyatterberry.blogspot.com/2010/05/testing-testing.html
i love to piece/quilt small projects (totes, table runners, etc.)
great giveaway!
bess :)
I've been making a few wristlets for myself. Next is the Sweet Harmony handbag by AMy Butler.
would love either of your gifties!
What beautiful fabrics!! My favorite sewing project was my very first quilt that I made for my baby girl- It's not perfect, but was made with lots of sweat and tears ;) Thanks for a great giveaway!!!
My favorite project so far has been a dress I recently sewed for myself. I haven't been sewing for much more than a year now and I always sew for my kids. It's the first dress I've ever made for myself and it really couldn't be cuter or more fashionable. It is the "coffee date dress" from Burda Style. Adorable!
My fave sewing project was a tree wall hanging I made. I love it so much I'm making another one. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite project was the first doll quilt I made. It was only a few months ago, but it gave me such a thrill and now I am making baby quilts. One day I will make that quilt for my bed I so crave.
Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Definitely quilts. And I do much better with things that come together quicker. I just finished a quilt kit for a baby blanket and I love it!! Would totally do that again. But I'm also inspired to try all kinds of new designs from what I see online. Would love to try a hexie or a circle quilt.
Lucky duck..I saw the fabric you won from oh franson. I like working on baby quilts best. I have made 10 for my own grands and countless others for everyone else it seems. My most recent was a pink/brown dresden plate for my 2wk old granddaughter...it turned out so nice and elegant and extra special since she is the first girl after 4 boys in that family!
My favorite sewing project is a pair of I-spy quilts that my mother, sister and I have been making for my nephews. The going is slow because it's hard for the three of us to get together but we're super pleased with the quilts so far.
I have never seen the pencil before. How awesome!!! My favorite sewing project this year has been when I made myself a travel wallet to use on a trip to Seattle. It was awesome and held everything I needed in one place!!
Punkrockertracey(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite project so far is my Colorbrick quilt, which is in the header of my blog. It was my first quilt and I just love it!

My favorite sewing project changes by the month, but right now I'm loving the Oliver + S pjs I just finished for my daughter! sarah@frogcreekcottage.com
I can't possible choose a favorite sewing project! I am eager to start on a quilt featured in Sandi Henderson's new book "Sewing Bits & Pieces."
My favorite sewing project is probably the Pleated Beauty Bag from Amy Karol's Bend the Rules Sewing.
Thanks for the opportunity!
secretcake (at) yahoo (dot) com
I am just starting to sew. My favorite project that I want to do is a fabric bird mobile. http://www.spoolsewing.com/blog/2008/05/16/bird-mobile/
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win :) My favorite project lately has been an oliver and s jumprope dress that I made from a woman's shirt I picked up at a thrift store. I loved the fabric, but it was too small for me, so I thought I'd try a dress for my 2 year old. It turned out really cute!
wow, never heard of that fabric pencil -- sounds excellent!
I've made a dozen of Rae's Buttercup Bag, if the question's which thing we make the most; but I think I like making period costumes the best. Got an 1850s dress in progress now.
my favotire sewing project was a quilt I made for my brother this past Christmas. It was purple and gold checkers (GEAUX TIGERS!). Then, I used the opposite color thread when I quilted it (gold on purple and purple on gold). It was really simple, but really fun. Thanks for the giveaway.
robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com
My favorite sewing project is probably something I can see my little girl wear that doesn't scream "homemade" Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite sewing project has been a girl's dress from Oliver + S. Thank you for this giveaway!
Ohhh I love that fabric! My favorites and the SMS charm squares quilt from Oh fransson and... maybe the Lazy Days skirt from Oliver and S - so easy and so cute! Thanks for the giveaway!
heather.nevits@gmail.com
http://www.thehandmadedress.net/MissMadeline6mo-4yrs.htm This is my favorite sewing pattern, it goes together in about an hour, and uses so little fabric. I think my daughter has about 8 of these. Yes, she's a little spoiled :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I think my favorite sewing project was my most recent. It was a buttercup bag by made by rae. It was easy to follow and went together beautifully. I made it out of a fun batik fabric.
I actually blogged about it too...http://megjustsaying.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-creations.html.
Currently I am working on a black and white and green quilt and it's my favorite right now.
So pretty! The baby quilt I hand quilted for my daughter. She was three when I finished it, but it still fit on her toddler bed.
My favorite projects are Halloween costumes. This year I made Halloween Princesses in ruffled orange and black skirts and capes and the biggest bluest dinosaur costume that you ever saw.
vicmil@aol.com
My favorite sewing project is usually whatever quilt I'm working on. An all-time favorite is a baby quilt I made for my nephew - the cover quilt on the book "Quilts, Bibs, Blankies...Oh My!". Thanks for a chance to win!
Check out my quilt i just finished at my new blog...sewlovins.blogspot.com/...just finishing binding it by hand! thanks for the chance
My favorite is a dress i just made my daughter..it has two tiers of beautiful amy butler fabric. I made her matching shoes and a hair flower too. I love having a little girl and making pretty things for her! meganbrueseke@yahoo.com
My favorite sewing project is the slouch purse by Ali Foster (I got the pattern on etsy). I have made about 5 purses and three of them have been from this pattern. It's easy to make and makes up a great purse and you can have fun with the fabric to make it. I've used regular cut fabric and I have made patchwork too - it's fun.
Thanks for having this giveaway!
My favorite sewing project is quilting with lots of white space or solid space so that when the quilt is held up, you can see an overall design.
laurapearce22@yahoo(dot)com
I think my favorite project was my apron. It's a half apron, with wine corks as the pattern. I LOVE it! I don't have pics up yet, but I probably will later this week at newlywife.com
Thanks so much!
my favorite sew project is a hobo bag that I made. It was the first project that I did using a pattern and I use it to carry my knitting it.
Seeing as how I'm only a novice sewer, my favorite sewing project would be a laptop case that I had found an amazing tutorial for. It was made out cotton fabric, fusable fleece, flannel fabric, a button, some thread and a whole lot of hard work! I love using it at college and my friends love it too!
My fav. sewing project was my first quilt.
thanks
atchisonsteph@gmail.com
Beautiful fabrics! My favorite sewing project was a pillowcase dress for my little girl. It had cute embellishments like buttons and a fabric ranuncula. I enjoyed making it so much I made one for my neice and another for my best friends little girl. Thanks for the giveaway! nkseelyatgmaildotcom
Sew far, one of my favorite projects was the Christmas pajamas for my boys last year. It wasn't so much the project as it was the response. Their faces just lit up.
Thanks so much for the chance!
I really like designing my own quilt and then making it
My favorite sewing project is pillowcase dresses. I love mix and matching fabrics and ribbons. I made one for my friend's daughter. It was a yellow fabric with flowers and birds. The fabric had bits of pink in the flowers, so I used a pink polka dot for the bottom trim. I used a pink ribbon for the shoulder ties. It was adorable.
I love to make baby shoes.
My favorite sewing project was a pair of baby pants I made from a Lotta Jansdotter pattern. It was a super easy project that honestly took probably a half an hour, and it transformed fabric that I didn't really like, into some pants that I LOVED. They're super cute on the baby and the pattern looks great. A success all around (and total successes are rare for me... :).
Wow, I love that fabric line! My favorite sewing project ever is a quilt I made for my new son. I finished it about 30 hours before I went into labor. Today is his one-month birthday!
My favorite sewing project was my son's quilt. He picked out the fabrics at a quilt shop (all black, gray and orange batiks) by himself and I worked hard to do my first full size quilt in diamonds, and I finished it!!
Beautiful! I'm still new to sewing but I have loved making skirts for my little girl!
wow that pencil sounds wonderful and I am going to have to look for this if I don't win it.... thanks for a great giveaway.. .LOVE the fabric too!
My favorite isn't perfect, but it's a dress I made to wear to a friend's wedding. It's a sheer linen/silk blend over a rayon lining, and I had to adapt the pattern. The hem is an uneven mess, but it feels great to know I made it!
I love the colors of your fabric - so lovely. A good notion always comes in handy. Thanks!
Thanks for the chance to win! I think I'll always enjoy quiltmaking the most. I blog about it often: http://scrapyardfabrication.blogspot.com/
I am a beginning sewer so I like easy things - tote bags, elastic-waist skirts, and (hopefully soon) a small doll-size quilt.
My current favorite sewing project is making felt food for my daughter's play kitchen. There are hundreds of great ideas out on the web. So fun!
I don't have a favorite yet since I've just started sewing but I'm building up to sewing the perfect A line skirt.

Ooooo!! Purty fabrics. My favorite is the first quilt I made. I made lots of mistakes but it's perfect in my eyes.
My most recent favorite sewing project was this fabric bread box that I made (http://gluegunannie.com/?p=514). It's been just perfect for carrying around fresh baked bread!
These supplies look awesome; I hope I win! Thanks for the chance!

Right now I am just beginning to quilt, and I love it! I have finished a basic square patchwork and am working up to the chevron quilts I see everywhere. The trickiest part for me so far has been the binding, I hope it becomes easier with practice! Anyhow, what a great giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win!

my favorite project is my first quilt I made for my son before he was born. It was an easy strip/block quilt and it was also my first attempt at free motion quilting/binding/the whole ball of wax. It is far from perfect but I got such a sense of accomplishment out of it, it will always be my favorite. And, he loves to snuggle up with it now so that makes it all worth it. :)
My favorite sewing projects are those I make specifically for friends. I spend a ton of time to select just the right fabrics that really remind me of them and I know will make them smile. The end result is always a product with a lot of love!
I would say quilts first but i recently tried this and it was awesome: http://www.chicaandjo.com/2009/05/28/sew-a-tiered-ruffled-skirt

My favorite thing I've ever made is a skirt for my daughter using the ModKid Julia pattern. My current favorite thing is making hexagons!
I would love to use that fabric for an upcoming project and the pencil looks like it would be helpful!
My favorite sewing project so far has been a baby blanket I made for my cousin's daughter:

Awesome giveaway, and what a neat pencil! I think I will need to track one of those down if I don't win. My favorite projects are aprons - so many styles and ways to play with fabric. Thank you!
I love making little aprons! They only take 1/2 a yard, the fabrics are always adorable (of course), and they are fast. And whenever I finish one, I think, "Oh yeah, these are really cute!"

My favorite sewing project is the 6 pairs of boxers I made my hubby for Christmas. He mentioned he needed more and I was off to the races. The best part, picking fabric that would look good as a pair of boxers!

I love sewing aprons and pillows, or anything for my little girl. But my favorite part of sewing is having some of my girlfriends come over after the kids have gone to bed and all of us staying up way too late for stay at home moms and laughing until one in the morning like teenagers. Thanks for the chance to enter... I love what you've got!!
my favorite sewing projects are always baby quilt. I love making them.
I like to make little zippered puches, they're so useful, and great to give as gifts!

Oh so cute! One of my favorite sewing projects was our shower curtain. I found the perfect fabric and made a cute rubber ducky shower curtain.
My favorite is a quilt I've been making for about ten years! :) It's a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt that is entirely hand paper pieced. It's taking me forever but I'm just going slow and using my little tiny scraps and stuff. It's full of memories! Maybe I'll finish it after another 10 year? Hopefully sooner.

My fave project is a pair of PJ pants I'm working on now -- skulls & flames! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite sewing project was my first quilt, that I made for my sister's first baby. He is 5 now and he still loves his "Aunt Tammi blanket". And I love to think about my sweet little nephew sleeping under it!
My favorite sewing project is to do pillows - they're easy and a quick gratification when I want to make something pretty. My favorite challenging project is to make clothes.
I'm making a quilt for my mil and it's a surprise and I know she's going to love it!
so I love making it!
great giveaway! thanks for the chance to win! crossing my fingers!
I love making quilts. It's always pretty to look at and useful at the same time.
I am currently enjoy mini quilts.
Oh I love sewing clothes for my daughter! I get to make things as colorful and crazy girly as I want (what she loves). Right now I'm starting a dress using fabric she picked out, and paid for from her "spend" money in her piggy bank! I'll be using Mod Kids Friday pattern.
thanks for the chance to win!
right now i am working on giving away nmost of my material however I like the crazy 4 patches that I have found in the rambling. carolyn
My favorite sewing project has been my wedding dress. It was a simple sundress, and my first sewing project in a long time. I lived far from home, and it was a time of bonding for my mom and I because she had to help me over the phone the whole time, since I'm not a seasoned sewer! :-) Thanks for having this giveaway!
I'd love win your giveaway! My favorite sewing project lately has been my daughter's first communion dress. I made it with the lace from my mothers 43 year old wedding gown!! It was a honor to do it.

Really nice giveaway. My favorite is my daughter's quilt using Heather Ross Mendocino fabrics. It fits her bed perfectly, which is a bit mysterious as I did no measuring for that whatsoever.
My favorite project was my wedding dress. My grandma bribed me not to do it, but I wouldn't be bought! Every stitch of that gown was sewn with love and anticipation of the life that was to come. Thanks for bringing back the memory!

mostly right now I am enjoying making cloth diapers for my grandsons. A new one is on the way at the end of the summer, just as his nearly 2 year old brother is out of diapers. I also sew training pants for them :)
