I have missed my 1st birthday. I started Patch on the 26th March 2010, and although I knew I always would have a shop 'one day' I didn't imagine for one minute it would happen within the year.
The shop is now in its .....*stops to count* 6th week?? 7th??Not counting now..its great. Lovely customers, great feedback..this is work???
The online stuff is getting neglected..I am having a new website so holding off filling the current one as I don't relish doing everything twice..however its taking a while so will be adding more items this week.
We have however broken our 4th camera in 2 years, so that needs sorting first!!
So I'm thinking a giveaway to celebrate?
The randomly chosen winner will receive a metre of fabric of their own choice..this can be as a bundle or as a full piece. Just pop over to Patch website, or if you can shop..and decide what you love and leave a comment to tell me. The random number whatsit will choose somebody on May Day Bank Holiday.
Rules go like this....
* you need to be a follower of this blog
* you need to make a comment below this post (nowhere else please x) before May 2nd.
* I need a way of contacting you!
* and thats it.

I was lucky enough to be chosen as blog of the week at The Sewing Directory..I don't blog as much as I'd like to so don't feel entirely worthy but very grateful to Fiona for choosing Patch.
Ooh lovely :) If oilcloth is included then I would chose 'Blue Vintage Rose' but if not I love 'Delilah - Buds - Blue'.

ReplyDeleteim expecting my 2nd child and looking to brighten my house and make things for baby for as cheap as possible so some free fabric would be fab. i did same for my son and was lucky enough to be given fabric then also x

Hi Claire - it's great to see that things are going well with the shop, I'd love to do the same one day! Congrats on your first birthday - love lots of the fabrics you have, especially that Michael Miller Honk Honk in your post.

ReplyDeletebevlatarche@yahoo.co.uk
It's my first visit here and I would never have known about your shop but for the fact I subscribe to Very Berry Handmade who mentioned your shop.
ReplyDeleteWhere have I been???
I adore the Denyse Schmidt fabric lines so that would be my choice.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Happy 1st Birthday, you've got a great selection of fabric there, I'd be hopeless choosing fabric I'd want to stock way too many fabrics so i could keep them. I guess that's not how running a shop goes really lol! if I were lucky enough to win I'd either go for Beep Beep or Honk Honk, love Michael Miller fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the Tanya Whelan fabrics, it's so hard to choose a favourite, but I think it's blue Rosie Dots.
Happy birthday! I've had such trouble deciding on a favourite but I think I've settled on either the Millefiore in blue (Kaffe Fassett) or the turquoise minky - it would be lovely on the back of a baby quilt! Thanks for the giveaway and here's to another successful year!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely too much choice! But for a whole metre, I'd have to go for Little Folks Voile - Diamond Mine - Sky. I think. :D
ReplyDeleteAlso, the velvet ric-rac made my brain explode a little bit. In a good way.
Such beautiful fabric! Happy Belated 1st birthday
ReplyDeleteSo many yummy fabrics in the shop to choose from! If I won I'd love the Retro Mushroom in Spice by MM! It's gorgeous! :) I'm now a follower!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeletethere are such lovely fabrics in your store! If I am the lucky recipient I would love some of the funky Kaffe fabric :)
Happy first birthday!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to chose from!
Think one of my favourites has to be Toyland - Deer Print - Blue, its gorgeous!
