Celebrate: Sew Brunswick is 1!!

A year ago today I started blogging! I never knew that blogging my life, mainly my sewing life, would be so rewarding. I have met so many lovely people who share my passion for all things handmade. I've even made really good friends, who I hope to keep for a lifetime! So thank you all, for coming along to read my little part of the sewing blogging world.


In the interests of freeing up space for my upcoming trip to Sydney, I thought I would have a bit of a stash clean out. I have eight pieces of fabric to give away and one copy of Colette Patterns Sencha blouse. There might even be some surprises! All pieces of fabric are enough to make a garment. Some will be enough for a dress, others for a t-shirt or simple pencil skirt. One piece is an Indian tablecloth with a cool border print. Simply leave me a comment on this post or send me an email at ohsewbrunswick@gmail.com if you want to be in the draw. Any one can enter, blog or no blog, international or fellow Australian. You have one week!




Thanks again for reading and supporting my blog over the past year.

Happy 1st Birthday Sew Brunswick!!

  19. Happy Blogiversary! Count me into the draw. I am a sucker for fabric and because we only have one fabric shop other than Lincraft and Spotlight since the others fell over in the earthquake, I don't have access to much variety.

  27. Happy Blogversary! I was SO excited to recently stumble across your blog, and discover a blogger who not only lives in Melbourne, but is virutally a neighbour (Ok- Thornbury might not quite be neighbours with Brunswick, but close enough!) And through your blog, discovering a vibrant, social Melbourne sewing community! Happy days!

  28. Happy anniversary! I only found your blog a few months ago, and I'm loving it. It's so nice to find other Aussie blogs. I only wish I lived in Melbourne - I'm fairly sure you guys have a greater selection of dress fabric stores than we do in Sydney!

  36. Throw my name into the pot. I like the look of the floral on the left and also am currently stripe obsessed. But we are similar colouring so I'm sure I'll like anything! May even get to say hi in person on sat if I get myself over to the Sydney meet up, still weighing up desire to socialise with my dislike of trekking into the city :-)
