Hawthorne Threads: Calliope Tour and Giveaway
WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN: Allison Pogany Thanks for entering!!!
A few months ago, I received an intriguing email from the lovely people over at Hawthorne Threads. They told us that they had a secret project in the works and I had a feeling that they were in the process of creating their own fabrics… and I was right! One of you will win your very own fat quarter bundle…. giveaway is at the bottom of this post!
The talented team over at Hawthrone Threads created 2 lines of inspiring prints. I chose the Calliope line, which has gorgeous colors and designs. (The Bengal tour was last week. Head over after reading here to see how cool it is!)
Check out Calliope! I can see these made into a beautiful purse or a little girl’s dress or how about some lovely pillows?
Make sure you enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post!
The print I chose to sew up is the graphic “rhythmic in indigo“. I just love how simple it is, yet it is unique and modern.
(Shirt pattern used was the Cali Faye Voila Women’s blouse and while the idea of it is super cute, it turned out HUGE on me. The pictures here show the top after I altered it by taking out almost 10 inches from the sides. It is still too big and will require further modifications. I made the size extra small and it should have fit based on the measurements, but somehow is incredibly large. If I make it again, I will most definitely have to grade it down at least 2 sizes, if not 3. And no, I am not pregnant, but the shirt kind of makes me look like I am ha! )
The fabric, however, is such a fun print for any time of year. I love it paired with the yellow cardigan and brown leather boots.
(ainsley was teasing me through the window)
I have a bit of leftover fabric, which I will use to make Ainsley a matching top. I can also see this print being a really really cool bag.
Thanks so much for having me, Hawthorne Threads. I have been a long time fan of your shop and I am super excited for your new line of fabrics!
