cute little dresses + twill tape product review + fabric giveaway!

Whew. That’s a lot of things. All good things.

Tiffany at Twill Tape sent me this fabric to try out. It’s simply gorgeous 100% pima cotton. If you’ve never used Pima cotton you’re missing out. It is so soft and just pretty! I think it would be really comfortable to wear and would also make a nice quilt or blanket.

This is the Bohemian pack in Freedom. These patterns are just my style. It’s  a fabric I’ve never seen before but instantly fell for. I love it!

My fabric came packaged cute and wrapped in baker’s twine.

I thought the patterns on the fabric would make cute dresses for some little baby girls. (Is it baby shower season?) I like making dresses for baby showers. Because a little girl can never have enough dresses. Not a necessity per se. But…well, yes a necessity. And these patterns are perfect for not overly pink but still girly dresses.

This fabric was so fun and easy to work with. Only good things to say. Now I have a few little baby shower gifts ready to go! Now we just wait for the babies…

Now after tempting you with pretty fabric, guess what! Twill Tape is giving one of you a $30 credit to spend in the shop! 


That’s 30 bucks worth of fabric, bias tape + zippers, diaper clutches, cute baby clothes, whatever! There is lots to buy. Who doesn’t want an impromptu etsy shopping spree? That’s what I thought. And $30 goes a long way in this shop!


The Twill Tape shop is full of pretty fabrics, handmade bias tape and finished goods, too!

    This fabric is just lovely! Pretty, pretty dresses. Did you use a pattern or will there be a tutorial? {pretty please} I would probably spend $30 on a fat quarter bundle and some bias tape, just gorgeous.

    I love the sewing 101 series you did and often refer to your posts when I’m trying something new. I’ve had people ask about how to sew ruffles and I send them the link to your post all about ruffles. =]

    I would choose the bird small zip pouch and the Bohemian Soul Love Palette Fat Quarter Bundle.

    Thanks for the generous giveaway!

  39. Lauria

    This is my first time at your blog, so I did some poking around. I love to see tutorials like the bow pillow or family photo game. But I know just how much work those are, so I also love just seeing finished projects. I find a lot of inspiration in looking at other people’s blogs!

    Thanks!

  42. Beth

    I started following your blog early on in the SO You Think You’re Crafty contest and your ruffle curtain is what made me check out your blog. I found that you had a whole section of Ruffles during that time and became obsessed! You are truly talented!!!

  47. angelina_lover

    The Bohemian Pack in Freedom as you have pictured above, I would buy the yards bundle and sew my neice some ruffle pants and matching peasant tops :-)

  49. Tanya

    I would get one yard of Bohemian Soul Twirls in the Woods, one yard of Bohemian Soul Endless Dream Hay, one yard of Bohemian Soul Rhapsody Night, and one yard of Bohemian Soul Caravan Purple. That goes a little over so of course I would pay the difference. So many choices.

  56. Maggie

    I loved your post about the ruffler foot! It inspired me to actually go test out my feet and see if any created ruffles. And guess what! One did!

  57. angelina_lover

    My favorite of your posts is when you made your family matching game! It was so sweet and such an awesome tute on how to.

  58. Dana

    Thanks for such an awesome giveaway! I love finding new, cute shops! I must say that my credit would go to a diaper clutch, and I also love the zipper pouches–that would be perfect for my cosmetics!

    It’s hard to pick a favorite post– but I love your tutorials for sewing women’s clothes. Recently you did the shabby apple dress. I REALLY REALLY want to branch out and make myself a skirt or a dress, but I haven’t been so successful thus far. :0/ I keep trying, but want you to know that the tutorials and tips help a ton!

  67. Pink Stitches

    Its hard to choose what my favorite entries have been! I love your sewing 101 posts, vie learned so much! I also liked your Ruffle event! Just everything! Look forward to reading your blog everyday!

  74. Katie

    Love your blog. My favorite entry would have to be your ruffle event. I was obsessed!

  82. Bryndis Julia

    I love reading your blog, but if I have to choose I’d say the book clutch and dictionary [shoo]s are my favorite, so inventive!

  83. Tal

    And I love the vintage suitcase chair tutorial. Definitely going to try it sometime!

  84. Katy Cameron

    What a fab giveaway, how generous.

    I would buy a yard of the Divin Damask by Michael Miller, a half yard of the Insulbright Insulating Interfacing,and the stashbuilder bundle of 20 zippers

  90. LoraLynn

    I’d use the credit to go towards one of the damask mixer colors, but edged in green. I lovelovelove damask, and the covers are such a great idea!!

  94. LoraLynn

    My favorite post of yours is the dictionary shoes!! I would never have thought to do something like that, and I love it!

  99. felicia

    I’m scared of making bias tape so I would use the $30 to but some of her awesome bias tape.

  102. felicia

    My favorite is your 300 tags for $20 post. I think that’s how I first found your blog to begin with!

  103. twelve30

    I would start with the Bohemian Soul Ditsy Mellow fabric – I might just buy all $30 worth of this fabric. It would make some cute dresses for several little girls I know. Thanks for the giveaway.

    My favorite of your blog is how you make your labels. I searched the whole world wide web for a way to make these on my budget. I fell in love with your labels , they are so simple but have alot of “punch” lol that little bird is so cute.I am in the process of ordering my own fabric from Spoonflower and can not wait for them! thank you for this giveaway!

  171. angela

    I recently lost my twin baby girls at 5 months and while I was pregnant with them, I started to make fabric flowers and look into learning how to sew so I could make clothes for them. We are planning to have another baby hopefully next year and I want to start really sewing and making dresses and what perfect way to do so than to use Twill Tape’s Bohemian Soul Love Palette Bundle!!

    {also, please help get the word out for my blog: http://www.benchmarksandbabies.com — thanks!}

  173. Christie S.

    Nothing wrong with a little flattery. Shameless or not. I’m a new follower, so it’s hard to say what my favorite is yet. But I’d say your long list of tutorials would be at the top of my list.

  174. Eli

    I love fabric giveaways! I love the bohemian soul love colletion! Thanks!

  179. Rachel

    My favorite See Kate Sew post was the fabric labels for $20 post, it ROCKED! I was so excited to be introduced to how to make them! Thanks!

  182. Melissa

    What an awesome giveaway! I think I’d spend it on a Bohemian Soul Love Palette fat quarter bundle, among other things! Thanks for the chance!

  190. Deb

    I would totally purchase 3 Homemade Twill Tapes; they’re fantastically adorable. Thanks for this giveaway!

  191. Deb

    I think my favorite see kate sew blog post was the family picture matching post, from a few weeks ago. It was a super idea; and I totally voted for it on SYTYC! Thanks, again!

  192. Kristine

    I really like the bohemian soul fabric line, the purples in the fabric would be my favorite. I haven’t seen this line before and it reminds me of summer!

  196. Mandi

    My favorite post of yours (so far) has been the Boy Fabric Round-up in Feb. of this year. I have two boys, and it’s so refreshing to get boy ideas instead of all the pink, florals, and ruffles I see everywhere else. Thanks.

  197. Stimpson Family

    And one of my favorite posts you’ve done was the “bucket o’ burpees” post. I’m going to have to try to make some of those (somehow winging it without the serger). You are so talented. I love seeing all the amazing things you make.

  219. Sarah
