I will make a little dress for a baby girl as a gift to one of my friends who is expecting!

I would use this wonderful fabric in some upcoming projects for my Zalla Style Sew Along – I’m thinking the wallet and maybe a zig zag tote bag if I can stretch it that far! Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on your first anniversary!!

I think I’d use it for the base fabric in a sci fi themed laptop case for my husband. Might go dragons instead though, I’m not big on commitment!

I would give it to my friend to make me a lovely pillow for my bed then I will always have it on my bed to remind me of your wed site & A Happy Birthday Td You xxx

I would make a summer dress for my friends little girl.

If I had a yard of linen, I would EITHER embroider it and turn it into a pillow for my new apartment, OR I would make Anna Maria Horner’s Flirting the Issue skirt, with an added border at the bottom. Link to tutorial here:
