Creative Team Designer Announcement- Introducing Amylove

Hi Y’all! My name is Amy Watson. I was born in Texas and in Texas we just merge our first and middle names to make one name so everyone calls me Amylove. I was an Army brat and lived all over the place but we have lived in Georgia for the last 18 years. That is the longest I have ever lived in one state.

 I retired from teaching about 4 years ago and with no longer having a classroom to express my creativity, I quickly began going craft crazy at home! Fabric is my favorite crafting medium!! The funny thing is I am completely self-taught. I do not know sewing terminology and I cannot read a store bought pattern. I make all of my own templates and patterns. As you will see, I have a Shabby or country chic style and pink is my favorite color. I am excited to be a part of this creative team and I can’t wait to get my hands on this fabric and start creating!! Here are a couple of my latest projects:

A Country Chic Apron

  A Rag Doll- I just love making dolls!

Pennant Banner

I look forward to sharing many fabulous creations with you!!

Design Team Introduction: Jennifer "Scraps" Vanderbeek

Hello, fabric lovers! I'm Jennifer Vanderbeek, aka "Scraps" and I have a passion for crafts of all sorts. Of course, what brings me here is my love of fabrics and sewing. (I also have a thing for monkeys, hence the title.)

My mom first taught me to hand-sew when I was way back in single digits. I had dreams of Pretty-In-Pink-ing my hand-me-down wardrobe into utter fabulousness and making clothes for my dolls from scraps of fabric. Turns out I wasn't quite as gifted at remaking as I'd hoped, but I'm nothing if not persistent and I learned by trial, error, and following loads of dress patterns over the years.

Fun fact? I hate ironing--unless I'm sewing!

Steampunk Chef's Coat and Hat: I made the body of the jacket from a pattern, adjusted it to have princess seams for a more fitted look, then added sleeves from a thrifted men's dress shirt for the shirt-and-vest look. The cravat is actually made from the back of the shirt--the collar and the back, curved hem, ruffled with a bit of lace, and is removable for easier washing.

 I don't make a lot of clothes for myself these days, but I do make clothes for my dolls (anyone else collect the Pullip family of dolls?). Sometimes the tiny seams can be a bit fiddly, so I'll sew those by hand while using my ancient Universal beast of a sewing machine for the longer straight seams.

Doll clothes are great for using up remnants of fabric!

Most of my sewing, though, is gifting or home decor. 

I had to ship a gift basket cross-country one year but didn't like how much room the basket handle took up or how heavy the basket made my parcel. So I sewed up a fabric basket that got rid of all those problems PLUS wouldn't take up a lot of space in the recipient's home.

For one Halloween party I made fabric candy corn bags as favors (filled with candy). Not wanting the leftovers to go to waste, for the following year I sewed them into a garland with some of the leftover fabric, even repurposing the ribbon handles and buttons as "bows" on alternating fronts.

I'm looking forward to lots of fun projects like these with the fabulous patterns from Love My Fabrics and I can't wait to share them with you!

Wishing you creative days!

It's time for a Winter Fox Giveaway!

Our winner was announced!  Congrats to Kriston Hughes! 


A few weeks ago we took part in a Sunday Fun-day giveaway and we gave away some fabric samples.  Part of the giveaway was to let us know what product they would use first.  Here was the picture of what was given away.

If you look at the 3 fabric samples in the upper left hand corner you will see what we gave away.  Out of the comments people left almost every one said they wanted to play with our Winter Fox Fabric.

So we thought maybe we should do our own giveaway once we hit 100 likes on our Facebook page.  Well we are at 102 likes.. so please take part in our giveaway and let us know what you plan to make if you win 1 yard of this Winter Fox fabric.

Also we have extended our Design Team call.. so if you haven't applied yet.. please do so soon, this call will end on November 8th.

  a Rafflecopter giveaway

Our winner was announced!  Congrats to Kriston Hughes!
