Giveaway - Amy Butler Sweet Life Bag


Ummm, yes... You read that correctly. This week's giveaway comes straight from Amy Butler Design. It's not a pattern or fabric. It's a bag, a ready made bag - an Amy Butler Sweet Life Bag! The Dew Drop Sling, to be exact, will be given away to one very lucky Fabric Shopper reader! Are you excited? Because I'm excited for you! Here's the official Amy Butler description of the Dew Drop Sling:
"Enjoy the modern oval shape and unique features of this craft bag – including a fabulously extra-long needle pocket and cell phone pocket on the outside of the bag. It’s easy to stash tools, yarn and belongings in great inner pockets; two large zippered pockets on the inside. A wide shoulder strap makes toting and carrying more comfortable."


I hope you don't mind, but I took it out of the plastic long enough to snap a few pictures. It's wonderful! Perfect for carrying your current project to wherever you may need to go. It has plenty of pockets - two on the inside and three on the outside. It is very deep and roomy. And, it is beautifully made with Amy Butler's lovely fabrics.

Inspiration: Outdoor Music Festivals

Since Summerfest is still going on here in Milwaukee and the ethnic fests don't start up again until next week, this week's festival inspiration is based on what to wear to outdoor festivals!


Outfit Number One: Rock concert, inspiration outfit from Urban Outfitters.


Do-it-yourself:


Vogue V8393 Halter Top Pattern, which is out of print but available at Vogue Fabrics, paired with Michael Miller's Polka Dots in Black & White, which is the fabric featured on the V8393 pattern. Also found at Vogue Fabrics.



McCalls M3341 A-line skirt pattern paired with denim. I looked high and low for washed-out denim but couldn't find any. Looks like you'd have to fade out the denim yourself for the Urban Outfitters look. Black denim fabric found at The Fabric Fairy.


Wouldn't this outfit look cute with the Curvy Clutch/Wristlet (sewing pattern) from Keyka Lou? I like the wood grain fabric from Joel Dewberry, maybe in sage (found at Contemporary Cloth).



Outfit Number Two: Jazz In The Park, inspiration outfit is the Selma dress by Christopher Deane as interpreted by Weekend Designer (tutorial). Also, red dress in this photo found on Atlanta Bartlett.



Do-it-yourself with the tutorial from Weekend Designer and:



Hawaiian Hibiscus fabric, white on navy, found at Harts Fabric.



A big bag is in order for Jazz in the Park for you will need to tote your picnic blanket and supplies! Amy Butler's Field Bag and Tote would be perfect. Maybe paired with this Strippy Stripe Cotton fabric from Gorgeous Fabrics?



Giveaway - Amy Butler Frenchy Bag Ready-To-Sew Kit!
