Review and Giveaway from Contemporary Cloth!

The generous staff at Contemporary Cloth sent me a yard of laminate fabric and a package of Insul-Fleece to try out.  I used them to make a messenger bag and matching lunch bag for my oldest daughter for back-to-school.  The Insul-Fleece was used in the lunch bag which will help keep her lunch cold, and I have plans to make some new oven mitts and pot holders with this fantastic product too.  The laminate was a pleasure to work with, it has a great feel and weight; and my only 'trick' I had to use was a bit of masking tape on the bottom of my presser foot when I topstitched.
Contemporary Cloth is giving TWO lucky winners a full yard of laminated fabric and a package of Insul-Fleece!  Here's how to enter:

  • Hop over to the Contemporary Cloth website and leave a comment telling me what other product of theirs caught your eye, and what kind of project you would like to make with either the laminated fabric or Insul-Fleece.
  • Leave an extra comment if you're a public follower of my blog.
  • If you blog, Facebook, or tweet about this giveaway, you can leave a third comment (please include the link).
Giveaway open internationally. Winners will be drawn by Random.org on Oct 11th.  Good luck!
