Sponsor Giveaway: Mwendas
Mwendas is a shop based in Singapore that sells authentic Japanese fabric from Yuwa, Lecien, and other manufacturers — amongst owner Fridah’s inventory you’ll find difficult-to-find designers Suzuko Koseki, Fumika Oishi, Keiko Goke, and Kumiko Fujita, and characters like Miffy. I’ve included some of my own favorites here. She recently became a True Up sponsor so we’re holding a pretty awesome giveaway today — two readers will each win a $50 gift certificate to spend in the shop on any of her fabrics, notions, books, tools, and craft supplies.
Here’s what you’ve gotta do to win! You can enter up to four times:
- By visiting Mwendas to hunt around for your favorite print, then come back and leave a comment telling us what it was.
- By Liking Mwendas on Facebook — she often posts exclusive discounts and specials there, so you should do this anyway! Please leave an additional comment here indicating you’ve done this.
- By spreading the word of this giveaway on Twitter or Facebook (use the tag #mwendas on Twitter or @mwendasonline on Facebook). Please leave an additional comment for each one of these you’ve done.
We will be gathering up all these entries this Friday, May 20, around 10am central U.S. time, and drawing the two winners randomly from that pool
In case you don’t want to wait to see if you won, Mwendas is also offering a 10% discount shopwide with code TRUEUP10 for all True Up readers through Sunday, May 21 (Singapore time).
Best of luck, and thanks to Fridah at Mwendas!

My favorite fabric is: Traffic Jam (Grey), Although there were so many nice ones to choose from! Red was actually my favorite but your blog would not allow me to post that b/c it said it was a duplicate

Gorgeous! I like Multi Buttons Suzuko Koseki Natural. Actually, there’s one I like even better but I think I will just go purchase it!
Fumika Oishi’s Transport Alphabet! It uses A for airplane, sure, but also for Airship! How great is that?!
I’d go for any of the Suzuko Koseki Japanese Fabric with the sewing themes–awesome!

The White Radishes on Purple would make great kitchen curtains to complement my mango-colored walls!
Oh no. What have you done? I have a new fabric obsession!!! I have just this week, I kid you not, heard about Suzuko Koseki fabric. A blog talked about a cute little purse that had some pink button fabric by this designer on the inside. There wasn’t a pic, so I went sleuthing. I am sunk. I am gonna have to win the $50 gift certificate so I don’t kill my fabric budget with these wonderful fabrics. How can I choose a favorite??? It is all soooo cute! I thought my fav would be the buttons, but then I saw the dragonflies, and then the alphabet panels…and then the touou brown patches, the traffic jam and the jungle big house on dark blue. I am in trouble.
Hi! Just to let you know my favorite fabric is Jungle Big House on White.

Hi,
just went to facebook page “Mwendas website” and liked it
Just went to the “Mwendas-Japanese Fabric and Craft supplies and liked it!
Besides most of those you posted pics of, I also love the playing kimono girls…http://www.etsy.com/listing/29889846/playing-kimono-girls-in-yellow-japanese
I love grey fabric AND pandas are irresistable so my vote would be for the Friendly Panda on Grey fabric.
I really like Pretty Matryoshka Nesting Dolls on Natural.
Lots of lovely prints to choose from! The Multi-buttons by Suzuko Koseki really caught my eye–both the green and natural. I also liked the yellow flamingos and lime whimisical cats LOL
I liked Mwendas’ facebook page.
I shared about Mwendas and the sponsored giveaway on facebook!
Can I just say…. “I LOVE IT ALL!”
just liked Mwendas on facebook!
Very hard to choose a fave, but we live miffy here as well as the alphabet panels!
I went to Mwenda’s shop and I especially like the winking owls fabrics. Also the blue dragonflies on white.
Love the Blue Daschund fabric! Would be great to make something for my baby with it. The past few days he’s been squeeling whenever he sees our little dog who is kinda daschund shaped (he’s a mix of who-knows-what) so it would be fun to make something to remember these times.
