So I feel like I never win anything. I have entered countless competitions, small and big and never get anything. Despite all of this, I still try. I decided to enter Simplicity's Sewlebrate pattern  giveaway and all I had to do was name a pattern that I love to sew over and over and I could add a picture if I liked. Well I did that. You all know I enjoyed making my jumpsuits this summer and so Simplicity 1158 was clearly my favorite. Well surprise surprise!! Simplicity contacted me and told me I was selected as one of their two winners. I won.. me, me, me I won.

I love simplicity patterns and I have a good stash of patterns that am waiting to try. So what was the prize you ask???? More patterns (jumps in the air with elation). Things you can never get enough of; patterns and fabric. I am in now in eternal bliss.

I won !!

I have been toying around with different ideas for Dashiki Fabric. This is another one of those commanding fabrics that was popular back in the day and has made a come back. Dashiki is also know as Angelina, or Miriam Makeba a South African Musician who was a trendsetter, and so made it popular. I don't have much history on it but Wikipedia seems to have some interesting information about it. (Not the best source of information though). Anyways, here are a few of my projects so far. More to come.
