Amy Butler Pattern Giveaway!

by Kim

Amy Butler has three great new patterns out and she’s generously contributed two of each for a giveaway here on True Up.

sshalter_cover_med

The Sun Surf Halter is a followup to her v-neck Cabo Halter top. It’s a great beginner pattern and has sizing for both women’s and girls’ sizes. Materials list here.

dgapron_cover_med

The Domestic Goddess Apron offers three differently styled aprons in three lengths, with handy features like pockets and towel loops. They can each be made in small/medium or large/extra large, so if you avoid “one size fits all” apron patterns, this is a good one to try. Materials list here.

birdie_cover_med

The Birdie Sling is a roomy shoulder bag that is great for beginning sewists (and a nice introduction to pleats). Materials list here.

This giveaway comes at a time when I’m needing some help, so I hope you all don’t mind if I put you to work in order to enter to win! I have been compiling a huge list of fabric- and textile-related links and I know it still has many, many gaps. Please give it a look and leave a comment with a link that I’m missing. I’ll bet you know of at least one shop I’ve overlooked (I have just started putting in brick-and-mortar stores by location), and I’ve barely scratched the surface with Modern Textiles (where I’ll be including people who design and print their own fabric for pillows, tea towels, etc.), Fabric Companies, etc. … as soon as I’m happy with the content I’ll be formatting it all to make it more user-friendly.

So just leave a comment with a link that isn’t already on the list (control + f (PC) or command + f to find on a page) and you’ll be entered to win a pattern. And let me know which Amy Butler pattern you’re most interested in. I’ll draw six winners this Saturday, January 31 around noon and notify the winners shortly after that. Thank you!

    I didn’t see From Here to Quilternity on your list. She’s an online shop based in So Cal.

    http://www.quilternity.com or
    http://www.fromheretoquilternity.com

    There is also a wonderful quilt shop (brick & mortar, obviously) in Carpenteria, CA.

    Fat Quarter Shop is one of my favorites! I didn’t see it on the list, but I might have missed it somewhere. I will keep thinking though.

    Wow! So many new ones already!

    Buttons and Bows is a neat shop in Alachua, FL: http://buttons-n-bows.blogspot.com/

    (PS: Spool Sewing in PA is on there twice under PA. And the Spoonflower Blog is on there, but a link to Spoonflower itself isn’t.)

    Oh, and I like the Birdie Sling the best, but love the apron, too.

    Here’s what I have that I don’t think you have yet:

    Not sure where you’d put Weeks Ringle’s (of FunQuilts fame) new blog: Craft Nectar – http://craftnectar.com/

    Shiisa Quilts – http://www.shiisaquilts.com/

    Fabric Sellers – Bricks & Mortar – California

    For more textile and sewing blogs, take a look at Pin Tangle’s alphabetical archive of blogs: http://www.pintangle.com/journal/2008/12/21/the-last-of-the-alphabet.html

    Hope that helps!

    The Cabo Halter pattern would be my first choice, followed by the Domestic Goddess Apron. I have an irrational fear of bag construction, but maybe The Birdie Sling would help me face that fear.

    Here’s a great one on Etsy: Sew Bettie

    http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5161361

    I LOVE the bulldog and bike fabrics, not to mention the cute cereal bowl & spoon or paintbrush fabrics…they are terrific!!

    Also, I live just north of Portland, and Fabric Depot is a FABULOUS place as well! It’s got everything, they have great sales, and usually every online order is automatically 30% off!

    https://www.fabricdepot.com/

    I adore the apron pattern – I hate to cook and maybe that would help me enjoy it, or at least entice me into the kitchen… :)
