Who Wants Fabric? And a Tutorial?

Good morning, fine citizens! I hope you're having yourselves a lovely day! Are you in the mood for an easy tutorial? How about a giveaway? Excellent! Because here at Sweet Bee's we've got both on tap for you :)

The lovely folks at Fabri-Quilt asked if I'd be interested in sharing a tutorial using some of their fabrics. Is there anyone who has to think twice when asked such a question? If you head over to their Inspired by Fabric blog you'll find all you need to know to make this fun tote!


It's a bit different from your basic tote but is quite easy to stitch up (I made it in a morning, and that includes math, cutting, sewing, and photographs). The math will be pretty obvious as you cut so you can adapt it to make it in any size you'd like. So head on over there to get the skinny. BUT DON'T GO YET!!

Remember that giveaway I mentioned? Well, these lovely people have generously offered up a fat quarter bundle of their Calypso Frogs fabric line, including the two you see above. Fun, right?


The rules are a little different from my usual giveaways so read carefully. To enter to win this bundle, sign up to follow the Inspired by Fabric blog by email or through a blog reader, and leave a comment here letting me know you did so. For a second chance to win, like Fabri-Quilt on Facebook and leave another comment here letting me know you did so. This giveaway is open through Sunday, July 27, 2014 at 11:59 pm EDT. A winner will be chosen randomly and announced here and over at Inspired by Fabric.

Good luck! And happy sewing!
