celebrating 10 years with a giveaway from robert kaufman

Today we’re continuing our anniversary week celebration with a special gift for one reader from our friends at Robert Kaufman Fabrics! Read all the way to the bottom of this post to find out how you can enter.

Robert Kaufman Giveaway

The folks at Robert Kaufman are so lovely to work with. We’ve always had a natural affinity since they produce so many wonderful apparel fabrics that work really well with our sewing pattern. I often turn to them when I need something specific like chambray or denim. But they produce so many different fabrics–including many fabrics for the apparel industry–that they often surprise me with things I wasn’t expecting to find. I spend a lot of time with their salespeople at Quilt Market, and when I’m not at Market I browse their website to see what’s new. (Like those amazing Sevenberry fabrics I told you about a few weeks ago.) It was natural that I turned to them when I wanted to design my Woodland Clearing fabric collection. (And maybe one of these days I’ll get around to designing another one; I certainly have plenty of ideas!)

To celebrate our 10-year anniversary, Kaufman is offering one lucky winner two 3-yard cuts (or any mix of two fabrics up to six yards) of Essex Linen or their really beautiful London Calling lawn prints.

I turned to Kaufman when I needed Essex linen/cotton for one of our upcoming spring Liesl + Co. patterns. (I’ll introduce you to the new patterns next week!) It’s such a lovely fabric that’s comfortable and softens with wear, and it comes in an amazing range of colors. I also love the Essex cross-dye and the newer metallics. I used the metallic Essex for this Lisette for Butterick B6464 top and this customized Liesl + Co. Bistro Dress. It has just a subtle amount of shine that’s really pretty for summer, especially.

London Calling is a lawn with vibrant prints, perfect for one of our upcoming Oliver + S patterns. This collection features lots of pretty new prints. (Those horses and cherries!)

Today’s drawing is open to residents of the continental United States only. (Sorry to those of you who live outside the US.) To enter to win two three-yard cuts of the fabric of your choice from either of these collections, leave a comment telling us whether you’re more of a prints or solids person. One entry per person, please. We will close comments on this post and choose the winner (with the assistance of random.org) on Friday, March 23 at 9:00 AM ET. The winner will be notified by email.

IMPORTANT: do not check the box to subscribe to comments on this post unless you reside outside the United States. (Remember, for today’s drawing, if you live outside the US you shouldn’t be leaving a comment on this post in the first place.)

    Prints! Though the Essex looks lovely too for some comfy basics!

    1. Deborah O’DOnnell

      Solids. Easy to mix and match, and to accessorize.

  2. Autum

    Solids with a little bit of a twist!

    Prints here. I sew mostly for my kids who are still pretty young. Prints are more fun for these types of projects. 🙂

  8. I’m always drawn to prints, but when it comes to sewing, I find I’m usually happier with the finished garment if it’s made in a solid. Takes discipline to move away from the prints though!

  9. Chelle Chapman

    I am MOST definitely a ‘prints’ person! I never order the same dish at the restaurant & not a big fan of “Just Vanilla”!! I want ALL the “Flavors” I can get!!!

  19. Taryn B

    With four daughters, I love prints!

    Small-scale prints, or solids with a texture (linen, waffle pique, velvet) for myself to wear or sew, but i end up sewing mostly solids for my kids. Dd is picky about prints but she loves those!

    Prints for my daughter and mostly solids for myself!

  81. Lyndsey Stanfill

    Solids for life!

  82. Sara Kaetzer

  90. Deon

    Generally I look at prints, but I find the solids way more useful, so would love a chance to win that.

  91. L

    Mostly solids. I’ll only do so much pattern matching in my wardrobe. My four year old will do ALL the pattern matching, so constraining her choices some with a generous dose of solids in her wardrobe helps avoid clothing selection debates.

  92. This is hard! I love prints, especially the cherries and butterflies but those solids also look heavenly. I think I’d have to go with solids this time.

  93. Stacey

    I’m equally drawn to prints and solids. Both options are lovely!

  94. Susan Snyder

    More solids. I love the metallic linens!

  95. Mary

    I love solids that have that extra little something…like the metallic feature of the Essex .

  97. Sarah D

    I like to wear a lot of solids but I love sewing with prints!

    Prints for sure!

  99. Beth Keesler

    Prints for me, but I’m forever looking for coordinating solids!

  100. Lori

    Have yet to use Essex Linens although they have been on my bucket list of fabrics.
    Could this be my chance?!

  101. Susan Okurowski

    Solids! Thank you for the chance

    Summer is coming and I’ve got to get onto Soho Shorts and I love the Kasuri Prints! But still, it’s a solid for me.

  121. Libby

    I love the Essex. It seems so versatile and fun to coordinate.

  122. Ragon

    No questions–London Calling Lawn! I’ve used several of those from previous year collections to make some really beautiful dresses (including a tiered version of the Popover dress my daughter loved so much she wore it multiple times a week!). I can imagine all the summer sewing I’d do with it!

  123. Que N

    I prefer Prints for my daughter; solids for myself!

  138. Katie

    I love prints but I typically will pair a print with a solid for most of my sewing projects. So a garment I make will typically have a main print with an accent solid.

  139. Kathie

    I love those prints!

  140. Florencia

    Prints for me! Thank you for the oportunity!

  141. Diane

  146. Personally, I tend to wear more solids, but those prints are fabulous!!

  147. Nancy Monnig

    Solids – need to build up the capsule wardrobe and need more basics.

  231. Rachel

    Love the prints!

  232. Nancy J

    I have been more of a solids person most of my life, but while visiting a fabric shop in Rome in October of 2016, I was overtaken with giddiness at the variety of quality prints I saw!! Then when I returned to Ohio, I was disappointed in the quality of prints from my local fabric stores. I’m on the hunt now, for exciting, multicolored natural fiber fabrics!

  233. Tricia

    PRINTS!!! (There are just too many good ones out there. 🙂 )

  265. KeaWekaKea

    I buy all the prints, but the hand sewn items I wear most are the solids. Silly me.

  328. Teri Reuter

    I began sewing at age 11 . . . my first project was a dress matching plaids. From that time on, sewing for myself, I only used solids. When sewing for my only daughter I continued using solids as my primary focus was English smocking and embroidery. But now that I have 3 young granddaughters I am absolutely dying to work with PRINTS. Just purchased my first 10 Oliver+S patterns and can’t wait to get started!

  329. Solids . . . with printed accents! How is that for riding the fence?!?!?

  332. Kathryn McBride

    Ugh, I really *ought* to be into solids more; I need to start making matching pieces!

  333. Dawn B

    I’m a prints AND solids woman. I love prints but find they can often be overwhelming. So, when planning an outfit I choose mostly solid pieces and highlight just one printed fabric item. That one item may be a blouse, skirt, pant, jacket or handbag while the remaining items will be solid fabric pieces. When choosing fabric, I’m always planning ahead to an entire outfit and cohesive wardrobe.

  334. Ginger

    I am mostly a solid person.

  344. Esther

    The prints are lovely.

  345. liz n.

    I continue to be flabbergasted by the generosity of all these fabric companies on these giveaways!

    Although I’m more of a prints gal, I’d never pass up Essex, so solids for me this go ’round!

  346. Ann D-R

    I usually mix prints and solids but would really dig some of those London Calling lawns.

  354. Laurel

    Prints – especially florals!!! Yay Spring!
