THIS CONTEST ENDED 5/11/12. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.

What fun we've had during the past three weeks of our Everything Old is New Again series, sponsored by Fabric.com! We brought back some of the old standards of the fabric world: candy colored seersucker, delicate eyelet, rich linen, traditional toile, flirty little floral prints, and crisp white cottons. By unleashing our imaginations on these "forgotten fabrics," we applied their old-fashioned goodness in new ways in eight great projects, and provided you with some tired-and-true sewing techniques as well, such as shirring, fagoting and hemstitching. To help celebrate all these terrific and trendy ways to use classic fabrics, Fabric.com has provided us with a $200 gift certificate. That's right: TWO Hundred Dollars!

One lucky Sew4Home fan will be going on a dream shopping spree. To sweeten the deal even more, we're adding a S4H Bonus Bundle: several generous ½ - 1 yard cuts of Clover Mini Iron II, which we reviewed during the series. For a chance to win, simply take a few minutes to browse the Fabric.com site, then leave us a short comment about your favorite "forgotten fabric" and what you would make from it.

We encourage you to give these great classic fabrics a try. Fabric.com has a wonderful selection of all the options we used throughout the series... as well as many, many... many more. Always at great discount prices and always with free shipping on orders of $35 and more.

Take a look back at these 11 projects, tips, and product reviews:

I have two sister expecting babies in sept. I'd love to make a quilt for one with the michael miller bug jars and ants prints. Not sure yet if my other sister is having a boy or girl, but so far thinking Joel dewberry aviary 2 would work.
My son saw the going coastal prints and asked me to make a tie out of the crab print.
I love anything Riley Blake,but right now the so Sophie prints are my fav!

I recently made a pillow with some beautiful striped fabric that I found in my stash and also found a matching ric rac to put a scalloped accent around the edge. I was happy

I had not thought about seersucker in decades! How crisp and refreshing! I didn't realize that quality seersucker was available. I would love to make my own bed linens out of the blue. Fabric.com has become my GO TO fabric store. I have clicked on links from your projects and bought some really neat fabric from them that I would have never found myself without your blog. My latest purchase was Michael Miller's Gypsy Bandana fabric! It made a really cute skirt and jacket.

Great blog, by the way!

Patty J. said:

Amy Butler fabric would be on the top of my list. Then, seersucker to make those adorable pillows and pillow cases on Sew4Home, then Moda quilting fabrics. I have so many quilts dancing in my mind! Oh, and some pretty vintage repro. oilcloth to cover a sewing room table. I LOVE to sew and quilt!

tsetsgee said:

Woow, I like these fabrics. I want to sew for home decoration(adorable pillow, pretty apron and somethingfor kitchen) Good luck me

Oh the seersucker for me - I just love it

I love the Linen Toile Blue/Ivory; it reminds me of my grandmother's house and I'd love to make similar Toile curtains or Toile placemats and napkins.

My favorite forgotten fabric is swiss dot, but there aren't many fabrics I don't love!

citygirl said:

I'd get something from Amy Butler; so many choices!

Lindsey M. said:

Oh my fabric.com has such a huge selection it's beyond difficult to say which would be first but I have been wanting to experiment with some linen for quite sometime. I think my son could do with some summer duds that hint at nostalgia.

Liz P said:

Waverly's matalasse fabric is so classical and elegant. I hadn't seen it in years and was excited to find it on fabric.com. I would love to make a duvet and pillow shams with the pool color.

karenk said:

I keep looking at lots of different damask fabric for a handbag. I'd also like to make a lime green/purple/peacock colored quilt someday or a bright yellow sunny one. I love the Michael Miller fabrics.

rnccrn1 said:

Fabric.com is great, so hard to choose, but I really like the blue and white
stripe seersucker, the trimmed sheets and pillows are so fresh and lovely.
I have an eyelet trimmed sheet set to embellish with the seersucker.

lilythreads19 said:

Honestly? With all the lovely fabrics it was so hard to decide!! But I absolutely love the Michael Miller Ooh La La collection! I think those fabrics would definitely make some great bags

Or a quilt! smilies/cheesy.gif

I love the Seersucker bedsheet and pillowcase. So classic!

I would definitely make my twin dresses and outfits with seersucker. Seersucker is my most forgotten fabric, but I would go through all of sew4home tutorials and make those!..I have never won anything before, so I would consider this a true blessing

Martha Hughes said:

I love the use of seersucker for my granddaughter's summer clothes but I never thought of making pillows with seersucker. Thanks for the idea. I have often wondered how to do shirring. Thanks for the instructions a new project for my Janone machine.

I love their premier prints home decor fabric! It is so affordable and comes in all the latest trends. I would redo my bedroom and bathroom.

MarciaFlorida said:

Thanks for the chance to enter this great Fabric.com giveaway. I've subscribed to their e-newsletter for what seems forever. The forgotten fabric that I would like to use for making a quilt is muslin for a backing. I like these muslin products: ES-171 Kona Premium Muslin 118'' Natural; and EL-320 108" Wide Colonial Premium Muslin Natural. Muslin looks great when doing hand quilting and I had forgotten about it.

lwiesman said:

I love the toile fabric. Especially the peacock. So beautiful. I think I would have to make the messengar bag you made as well.

Leslie west said:

I love the ikat fabric and would like to make some pillows out of the fabric. Also need to make a baby quilt for my niece which is due the end of the summer- so lots of pretty fabrics in pink are on my list.

CASegars said:

I would make a quilt.

Kristen T. said:

I love dotted swiss, but you can almost never find it, or if you do, it's a pattern which just looks odd me. I have looked around fabric.com before, but I never saw it. This time I did a search of it and go figure, they have several different plain colors of dotted swiss (but they call it Swiss Dot...). I have one sundress that is dotted swiss that I get compliants on all the time, but it has seen better days. I'd love to take it apart and make a new dress in a new color, but with that same lovely dotted texture.

Rhonda H. said:

Love Fabric.com and have purchased from them quite a few times; there are so many current fabric lines they have that I love but if it's considered "forgotten" I do have a fondness for blue & white seersucker...there's just something so "fresh" about it. Thanks for chance to win this great giveaway! (marshudson at comcast dot net)
