A party without cake is just a meeting, as they say. So, as promised, here is a small birthday "hotcakes" giveaway.
You know by now that I like luxe. This is a generous 2 yard cut of silk charmeuse that I bought as one of the possible candidates to line my leather jacket. I eventually chose a turquoise version of the same fabric - this one is a mix of hot pink and orange. I figured that it would become lingerie if I didn't pick it for the jacket. Phin's kind of surprized I'm willing to part with it, but it's too pretty to languish in my stash any longer. So, I'm hoping to find it a good home.
Also, as the temperature starts to drop, perhaps you would also like a pattern to, um, help heat up the night.
Hotcakes? I think so.
It's just one of many things you could do with this silk - obviously, make what you will love. (BTW, did you know there is a lingerie sewing contest happening at PR right now? Details here.)
Anyway, here's the small print for my giveaway: Just yell "Hotcakes" by midnight EDT on Friday, October 18 to enter this random drawing. And do make sure I can reach you. I will mail anywhere that mail goes. I hope you will also tell me if you've sewn lingerie before or what you might do with this fabric.
Happy sewing! Stay tuned for my next (totally, totally awesome and exciting, IMHO) self drafted pencil skirt project in a few days. Seriously, I am giddy about it.

I wouldn't be my normal greedy self If I didn't enter this drawing. Please count me in. I've sewn PJ pants, but that is about it.

Not exactly lingerie, but I have sewn a spaghetti strap bamboo knit nightie for my mom for Christmas one year.
Hotcakes! I've never sewn lingerie before but that would make a fabulous top to go under a blazer!

HOTCAKES!! I have sewn some undie kind of things recently. I drafted the tap pants from a Venus Vera tutorial.
ReplyDeleteHOTCAKES!
ReplyDeleteI did make myself a lovely shortie kimono YEARS ago...and some nighties for my daughter's trousseau 3 years ago.
HOTCAKES - two metres of gorgeous red silk a stunning blouse would make. McCalls 6601 would do the trick.
ReplyDeleteForgot the linking to blog problem with Discus. I'm at http://myfabrication.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHoly Hotcakes! That is some super inspiring fabric. I love MomofZ's idea for a short kimono. I haven't sewn any lingerie yet, but I've been slowly collecting silk garments from thrift stores with the idea of piecing them into interesting loungewear or camis or bras. I love the color of this fabric. It's very special and so Clio! I'm surprised too that you would part with it. So generous!
ReplyDeleteHotcakes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous giveaway. I would love to make a camisole bi(ke)furcated slip (https://makeitfakeit.wordpress.com/2013/05/27/another-bikefurcated-slip/#comment-1239). My other bike slips are just plain bemberg -this would really jazz things up.
Thank you!
Hotcakes! The only lingerie I've made was a couple of slips. I love that fabric; it would make a beautiful blouse. I'm at: bjsewmuchmore.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI know! Giving away something orange?!?!?! I'm not sure what's come over me. It must be a birthday thing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHotcakes!!!
ReplyDeleteHotcakes!! The fabric is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHOTCAKES! That fabric is sooooo beautiful. I have attempted a few lingerie-type pyjama garments, and with mixed results. I'd love to have a go with this beautiful paisley.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hotcakes! I am thinking a lining for something would be wonderful, or a simple kimono sleeve t-shirt or ???
ReplyDeleteHotcakes!! Lingerie is tempting but the fabric is so beautiful, maybe a blouse...
ReplyDeleteHOTCAKES! If my significant other saw that fabric, he would tell me it would make something very nice for the "magic drawer"...
ReplyDeleteHotcakes for all! Thanks for a great giveaway. I've never sewn any lingerie but would love to try.
ReplyDeleteHotcakes! Fabulous fabric and great pattern suggestion.
ReplyDeleteHotcakes! Hot alright, this stuff is gorgeous. I'd want to incorporate into my day wardrobe somehow so people can appreciate it, but I do also want a really gorgeous robe...
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, and what a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn lingerie before... only cotton slips, and that doesn't count, does it?
Hotcakessssss! Happy birthday! And I can't wait to see the next pencil skirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lingerie sewing contest update...I may have to get in on that :)
Hey - Nice to see you last week!
ReplyDeleteHotcakes! Happy Birthday! I have a big birthday next month my 50th! I hope iI win this lush fabric, I would make some French knickers and a Cami top
ReplyDeleteYou too! I better see that pencil skirt before next month :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Hotcakes! Lol The 18th is my birthday so I should win!
ReplyDeleteHOTCAKES! This would be the perfect lining for my next French Jacket!
ReplyDeleteHotcakes! I haven't sewn lingerie before. It intimidates me more than just a little. I would use this gorgeous fabric to line a suit jacket. I have this lovely grey that needs a hidden punch of color. This would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteContest Closed! Drawing tomorrow!
