Giveaway! Diawabo Fabrics from Japan


Peg and Becca from Sew Fresh Fabrics are now carrying Diawabo and Yuwa fabrics from Japan! How awesome is that? For me it means fabrics from Japan shipped to me from right down the road. In an effort to keep you from feeling to jealous about that, I can't enter this giveaway, but you can!


This print is my absolute favorite. It's Daiwabo Japan Sewing Notions from Fumika Oishi. I just ordered some in advance of the giveaway in case you guys sell them out!

If you haven't ordered from Sew Fresh Fabrics before, you don't know what you are missing. They have a wonderful selection of fabrics (now even better with these Japanese prints) and they are so wonderfully friendly.

The winner of the giveaway (to be drawn on Monday) will win the fat quarter stack pictured at the top of this blog post. It's a great variety of prints. I have a fondness for the elephants. To enter, please just leave one comment telling me your biggest sewing inhibition/fear. I will tell you that mine is putting zippers in garments. In pouches it's no problem but they are so challenging for me in clothing!

There is another Sew Fresh Fabric giveaway on One Shabby Chick's blog! You can try to win Yuwa there!


Winners of Lovin' Loulouthi Giveaway from Tuesday are at the end of this post and have been notified.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thanks for the sweet giveaway!
    I still find cutting through a fabric to be very intimidating :(

    ReplyDelete
  7. My biggest fear is cutting. I measure and measure and triple check and then I cringe everytime I make a cut. I like to buy precuts which limits me sometimes on what kind of fabrics I choose. I would love to be more confident in cutting my fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I love Sew Fresh. Becca and Peg game and talked to the BMQG a while back and were awesome. My biggest inhibition is still machine quilting. I've certainly improved over time, but I'm not nearly as advanced as I would like to be.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I fear free motion work. Garments are a close second - I always want to try making clothes, but they always turn out so ugly!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I just can't do binding. I've tried and tried and I get worse at it with every attempt! If you fancy a laugh, I blogged about it here:

  11. I'm intimidated by zippers and buttons. Perhaps some time.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I am really scared of making clothes, though I've decided to try and conquer that fear in 2012, we'll see how that goes. Thanks Sew Fresh Fabrics for the giveaway, I've never been disappointed when I purchased fabrics there!

    ReplyDelete
  13. My biggest sewing fear is serging. I don't even have a serger! Ha! I think it's just the finality of serging that freaks me out. If you mess up, you've already cut a chunk off. Yikes.

    Thanks for the chance! Those elephants are definitely charming.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I never did free motion quilting. It scares me a bit off, even I really would love to learn it.Perhaps next year?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I am really afraid of put in sleeves... The only thing which keeps me from making more clothes for myself...

    ReplyDelete
  16. ZIPPERS FREAK ME OUT!!! OY!

    ReplyDelete
  18. What a fab giveaway! My worst sewing fear is FMQ. I can never seem to get even stitches and I'm always afraid I'll ruin a quilt if I try it!

    ReplyDelete
  19. My biggest fear is that it will scream "homemade" from a mile away. Curved piecing is my other fright.

    ReplyDelete
  20. My biggest fear is buttonholes. I think I'm too picky and mine are just never "right". Thanks for the giveaway, the fabric is awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think my biggest fear in sewing is how my item will be received. Sometimes I know the things I make are lovely, but then when I give them, I just don't know!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I would love to make some fancy little girl dresses using organza, silk and tulle but I am so afraid of ruining the fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I would have to say my biggest fear would probably garments in general. I epically fail every time I try to sew something for myself.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hmm. Probably sewing clothes. I'd love to do it, but I'm afraid I'll spend all of that money/time and it won't fit!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  27. My biggest sewing worry is easing sleeves into armholes when sewing tops.

    ReplyDelete

    Great giveaway! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Using the buttonholer attachment, that scares me to pieces. In an instant you can ruin all your hard work but I'm trying to learn :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Zippers! I plan on conquering that fear soon however. Thanks for the give away chance.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love SFF and order from them often. My biggest sewing fear is free motion quilting. Slowly but surely I am learning.

    bess :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Love those fabrics!
    I think I've sewn so long I can't think of any fear sewing except picking the right fabric! I really hate that part.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Sleeves would have to be it. I do not like putting sleeves on garments!

    ReplyDelete
  52. My biggest fear is cutting into a beautiful piece of fabric and ruining it!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Well I don't mind zippers in clothes but I can't do zippers in little pouches!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. My biggest fear is making clothes fit me and look great on me.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I really want to try improvisational piecing, but I can't seem to tear myself away from straight lines and planned design.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Biggest sewing fear = learning to use my poor, neglected, unused serger! The thought of 4 spools of thread all geting tangled up terrifies me! :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm like "Monk" in that I'm not limited to just one sewing fear.I'm afraid of sewing for myself. That is generally a disaster. I'm afraid of picking out fabric for clothes for myself as well...I do fine for other people's clothing or quilts....but not for me. I'm afraid of marking things and not being able to get the marks out. I always wonder if I've made a quality item...how it holds up to use...or if it falls apart. I'm afraid of things looking "homemade" and I'm afraid of how my sewing will be judged when I send something in a swap. But truly my biggest fear...is sewing through my finger again :-)

  59. Love the give away! My biggest fear at this point in my sewing safari is picking the fabric...so afraid of putting something together that really doesn go:(

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh, great giveaway Amy!! I'm excited about these fabrics - I love everything from Japan, but cannot find any fabric in real life locally. Inset seams used to be my nemesis, but I think I've managed them now, garment sewing in general is my biggest fear for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  61. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Curved piecing for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Can you believe I'm scared of buttonholes?? Lol Great giveaway! Hope I win!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Buttonholes! Ack, I feel my blood pressure rising just as I type the words. I, too, have a fondness for the elephants! And the sewing print is just the cutest. I am imagining some great fussy cuts using those sweet spools!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Everything! I am teaching myself to sew and I can not tell you how many needles I have broken. I even sewed through the tip of a finger. :P I am getting better although I think right now... my biggest challenge that I have not started.... Working with elastic thread for shirring.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm with you - zippers are scary. But also making something that really truly fits.

    ReplyDelete
  67. My biggest sewing inhibition is dense quilting. I love it when other people do it, but I haven't yet been inclined to do it myself. >_<

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  68. My biggest sewing fear is curves. I would love to try some quilt patterns with curves but..eeek

    homespunhandmaiden(at)yahoo(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm scared of piecing curves...i just conquered zippers but this still throws me.

    ReplyDelete
  70. My biggest fear is that my creativity will never be considered art, or even beautiful, but a contrived, rehashed P.O.S. Yes, I'm that critical about my own work. Which is why I love to see what other people do--I'm always amazed and smiling!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Love the fabric, I need to try out FMQ as so far I have only quilted straight lines!

    ReplyDelete
  72. My biggest fear is Free Motion Quilting, I only do straight lines!

    ReplyDelete
  73. oh yes...love Sew Fresh! any zipper confounds me and paper peicing terrifies me!

    ReplyDelete
  74. My biggest fear is sewing with fabrics other than cotton. I've tried jersey knit, so I'm working on it!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I am always paralysed when I need to sew a zip and put it off as long as possible! Thanks for a lovely giveaway I would love this gorgeous fabrics.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Please don't make me do curved piecing! Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I have stayed away from making clothing---zippers and button holes are scarey!

    ReplyDelete
  78. making clothing for myself if intimidating, kids fine, but for myself, scared of making something too small :) Have ordered from Sew Fresh several times and always happy! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  79. My biggest sewing fear is sewing curves and circles!! Even the easy 6 minute circle scares me!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I do zippers but, NOT buttonholes

    ReplyDelete
  81. Mine would definitely be curves! I am determined to actually try sewing them soon though, I'm sure it wont' be as bad as I'm anticipating ; )

    ReplyDelete
  82. I have a bunch, zippers, curves, Y seams...Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  83. My biggest fear is binding my first quilt! And also free motion quilting is kinda scary too! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful fabric! :)

    ReplyDelete
  84. My biggest sewing inhibition is the difficulty I have cutting into any fabric that I really love. My fabric stash grows and grows with fabrics that I think are beautiful but I'm scared of ruining them by cutting them up! How stupid huh, I'm currently making a big effort to try to get over this

    ReplyDelete
  85. My biggest fear is picking fabric, I always seem to use one fabric I later regret :-/

    ReplyDelete
  86. zippers and button holes - hands down!! Not happening at this house! (love, love, love the elephants)

    ReplyDelete
  87. My biggest fear is convertible collars. We did a sample in my sewing class in college and it seemed like NO ONE could get them right. Not a single person, so I tend to shy away from them. That and fussy fabrics like velvet and chiffon.

    ReplyDelete
  88. My biggest sewing fear is sewing a dress or top for myself - baby/toddler clothes are so easy, but I just don't quite know how to adjust a pattern for myself.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I'm not really afraid of anything, sewing or otherwise. Perhaps it's my age, 67; but I really can't thing of a fear, sewing or not.
    What a wonderful stack of fabric, love the elephants.

    ReplyDelete
  90. It's got to be a tie between zippers and buttonholes. I can and have done both, but they paralyze me!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Not technically sewing, but...
    Cutting fabric, I'm always so paranoid I'll cut something wrong and completely mess up my beautiful and expensive fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Sleeves always get me... i keep trying though, and am determined to conquer them! Thanks for a chance to win!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I would have to say that my biggest fear is button holes, I even have a special foot and button on my sewing machine but I am still a scaredy-cat (mew!).

    ReplyDelete
  94. free motion quilting scares me because I'm afraid to sew through my finger!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Ooooh what gorgeous fabric!

    My biggest fear is putting domes onto jeans or trousers - I had one go wrong once and that little one-minute job completely ruined a pair of jeans I'd been making. Now I have a moment of fear every time I go to attach one, in case it goes wrong and ruins several hours of sewing! :-/

    ReplyDelete
  96. My biggest fear is matching patterns, actually cutting them out so they match. I get so confused at times and then soooo frustrated!!!!

    I am so excited about winning the pillow kit and can't wait to make it! Not only am I surprised to have one but to have won when I was the last comment.

    Thank you sooo much!!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I would have to say zippers on dresses. I avoid making a dress with zippers! Skirts are ok...

    ReplyDelete
  98. I have to say any cutting of fabric... I have a super hard time with math to start with and then I get myself worked up and confused and cut wrong lol... I usually find out when it's too late :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. Free motion stitching definitely....last time I did it I was so nervous I'd mess things up I ended up with a horrible ache in my shoulders!

    ReplyDelete
  100. I would have to say that my biggest fear is sewing for myself. I've certainly tried but haven't worn anything I've made.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Garments for grownups! Scary stuff with all that fitting and altering. I'll stick to patchwork. :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. I do not like sewing clothes. I have no idea how to alter patterns to make them fit my strange body. It is difficult buying and worse sewing for myself.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I cannot bring myself to use the darning foot I bought about 2 years ago. I am afraid to try free motion quilting. I just keep on quilting straight lines!

    ReplyDelete
  104. I am afraid to try free motion quilting.

    ReplyDelete
  105. my biggest fear is FMQ - i am so darn scared of it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  106. Beautiful fabric! My biggest sewing inhibition is sewing garments. I am curvy (small waist, big hips) and I have a really hard time making things that fit my shape.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Love that fabric! I usually like a challenge in sewing but I dread making hems on dresses or cuffs, etc.. they never turn out even! lol

    ReplyDelete
  108. Over-pressing. I love what steam does, but it's too dangerous for me. I always have to dry press because I end up stretching everything out and I hate the way it looks.

    ReplyDelete
  109. My fear is adding binding to anything and also button holes. Haven't gone there yet.....lol!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Great fabric! If you promise not to laugh I will tell you my biggest fear is free motion quilting. How silly is that? It takes me so long to actually put the blocks together I am afraid I will ruin it so I either cross hatch or straight line quilt it. Thanks for a chance at your awesome giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Zippers and collars are two things I just don't like doing

    ReplyDelete
  112. i am scared to sew clothes for myself. not sure why - just too afraid!

    ReplyDelete
  113. My fear is straight line quilting because its never straight no matter how I try.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I have yet to try piecing curves or free-motion quilting. Eeek! It terrifies me!

    ReplyDelete
  115. My biggest inhibition/fear is Y seams. My stitching just isn't precise enough, I fear.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Button holes. They never worked on my old sewing machine and I haven't deared making any on my 'new' machine that I have had for two years now ...

    ReplyDelete
  117. What lovely elephant fabric! My biggest fear is puttin a lot of effort into making a garment an not being able to get it to fit properly!

    ReplyDelete
  118. It's interesting what we each think is difficult when it comes to sewing. I can do zippers, but piping for some reason is one thing that I have really avoided. Maybe I should make a resolution this year to master it? :)

    ReplyDelete
  119. Oh I love these fabrics! My biggest inhibition is giving away the items I sew! I once had a friend give back the item I made for her, telling me that she didn't like homemade things in her home. Now I am always afraid that the person I am giving something to won't like it. Makes me sad.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Hand quilting! It is something I am desparate to try but I am scared to try it without some professional guidance first!
    Love the fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  121. Love the elephants. My biggest fear is cutting. I'm nervous about cutting out with large scissors and with my cutter I can sometimes drift away from the ruler. Nightmare time.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Lovely fabric- thank for the giveaway. Biggest fear- that the person I made something for will never use what I made them.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Mine is zippers and button holes...
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Yes, I do not do zippers either. I so want to make a box pouch but it has a zipper. Thank you for a chance at beautiful fabric.

    In response to Jessica (125) do not be afraid to try hand quilting. You can sandwich a top bottom and batting and place in hoop and try hand quilting. No sewing required. It takes much practice to get your stitches small, and close together. Focus more on uniform and small and close will come with time.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Not so much a fear but avoidance for me is the actual quilting. I know I should just do it and then I'll get better at it and not avoid it. I enjoy it too, I'm just kind of afraid of making mistakes that are hard to undo.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Mine is zippers, too. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  127. My biggest sewing fear is machine quilting!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  128. Zippers are my biggest fear! I try to tackle that fear every once in awhile!

    ReplyDelete
  129. I used to be terrified of curved seams. I took several classes featuring curved seams and overcame my fear. Now I love them, not, but I'm not afraid of them any more.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I am afraid of curved seams also, it seems to be a trend here, lol! Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  131. I have a fear of making clothing. I don't know why. I make everything else, but making something to wear is so intimidating.

    ReplyDelete
  132. My biggest sewing fear is interfacing! Yes that's right, why does it wrinkle sometimes and not others, I hate using it but use it every week! Not sure what to do!
    thanks for a great giveaway

    ReplyDelete
  133. My fear is making something - especially in a swap - and the recipient thinking it's not good enough.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Zippers !! Zippers!! Zippers !! Those fabrics are yummy !!

    ReplyDelete
  135. The quilting stage of quilting always makes me nervous--after working so hard on the top, I don't want to mess it up!

    ReplyDelete
  136. Zippers and buttonholes - but I'm getting better and braver....

    ReplyDelete
  137. Mine would be sewing from a pattern. I know that's so odd - but I'm definitely more comfortable winging it.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Zippers for sure. I've sewn 4 recently and the last time before that was in grade 8 (a long time ago!!)I'm not 100% but am getting better for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Waste. I've cut enough pieces wrong to fear doing it again and wasting precious fabric. I'm not afraid of zippers ever since I worked in summer stock theater and put in 50 in about 2 weeks. It helps when it's for someone else; you care less.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Rushing! I always want to finish a piece so don't take enough care..

    ReplyDelete
  141. My biggest fear at the moment? Actually doing the quilting on one of my quilts. I have yet to try it. I'm so worried about really messing it up especially after I spent so much time piecing the top.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Wow, lovely fabrics!
    I’m pretty fearless as it comes to quilting. I’m not crazy about FMQ but I prefer the straight lines anyway.
    However, I always fear my swap-partners won’t like my gifts, silly, but true!

    ReplyDelete
  143. I just discovered your blog and I am really enjoying it. Please sign me up to be eligible for your giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Love great blogs that I find from other link, little treasures ! I am totally intimidated by piecing circles, I've seen tutorials on how to do it .. still might be a while before I get there ! Mind you I have paper pieced one quarter of one and thought it was madness so it stays as a WIP ! Thanks for the giveaway !

    ReplyDelete
  145. Free motion quilting makes me so tense and I really struggle with it.

    That fabric is so pretty. Thanks for a chance to win!!

    ReplyDelete
  146. Hmmm... I wouldn't say it's a fear, but I have to learn how to spend more time doing things that challenge me. I have been sticking with super simple patterns in order to make the number of quilts I want to make & on time. Time, I guess that is the real culprit.

    I fear I don't have the time to make the awesome quilts I envision. Instead, they all turn into strip quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  147. I'm new to quilting, and always worried I'll mess up the quilting portion of the project- I certainly have some stitch length issues at times. Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  148. I actually enjoy the process of FMQ on my machine now that I have a new one with a large throat!!
    What a wonderful fabric line! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Free motion quilting these days. Zippers in garments as well!

  150. Using the last piece of a favourite line knowing it is not available any more.

  151. I am afraid of zippers. And really afraid that one of these days I am going to sew over my finger or a needle will break and poke my eye out. I know... I am a little dramatic. :)

    ReplyDelete
  152. I hate zippers, so afraid that I'll have to rip them out and try again!

    ReplyDelete
  153. i'm a bit intimidated by huge volumes of fabric - like curtains - drives me to distracton! thanks for the opportunity

    ReplyDelete
  154. Free motion quilting. The fabric is so cute-I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  155. My biggest fear are curves..maybe just because I'm too impatient and I think I'd have to do the curves very slowly :-)

    ReplyDelete
  156. I grew up sewing,and then have slacked off. I have now gotten back into it, and I just need to take it slow. I just bought a coat pattern and I will try making it now with a sew along.. I am terrified!!!!!

  167. What I fear most about sewing... geez that's a good question. I think sewing in collars or necklines is probably my biggest fear. They are so prominent and out there for everyone to see. If you mess up a collar, you've messed up the whole blouse, dress, shirt, sweater. Needless to say, I pretty much avoid all of the above... :)

  168. My biggest sewing fear ... free machine quilting. I can do straight lines, but my first attempts at free quilting were not pretty.

  169. I'm not sure I have one, I'm willing to attempt just about anything, and I have plenty of fails, but not sure I have real fears. Maybe curved piecing is a slight inhibition, eventually I get around to it, but psych myself up first.

  170. My biggest fear is sewing things with circles (I still remember a nightmare block from my sampler)...

  171. Too late to sneak into the pool? My sewing fear? That I will finish the whole item beautifully but then make a big mistake at the end, like messing up the buttonholes or sewing the armhole closed.

  172. I love these fabrics-such a fun mix! My biggest fear is sewing something without a pattern. I admire anyone who can do that and someday I will be brave enough to try!

  173. My biggest fear in sewing is using the button foot on my sewing machine. I just can't get the hang of it and it always ruins my work and yet I keep on trying every time! x

    Alas, I would have to say zippers.
