Why We Love Fabricworm & Birch Fabrics

I am so excited because my friend LOVES Charley Harper.
She gave me two Charley harper books when my daughter was born.
She loves them, too.
So now we all love him.
I would keep some of the fabric for me, and send some of it to my friend.
Shared joy is doubled joy (we say in german)

As a huge fan of Charley Harper’s works and a almost bigger enthusiast of patterned fabric, the new collection makes me dizzy with anticipation!
I want to touch all the designs, trying to find out how to combine them, developing idea after idea for cute skirts, bags or pillows. That’s what I’d be most likely to make of these lovely cloth. Also, I think my Mum would love the patterns very much as well, so I would make her something nice (most likely one or too small pillows).
The patterns are so happy and radiant with colour that they should be used to spread some of the fun =)

ooooooohhhhh- pardon my ignorance but I never connected fabric worm with the fab organic Birch fabrics! learnt something new:) I can imagine gazillions of projects but with 5 yards- wow, I would be torn between the knit fabric in tomato twig (I’d make a dress and probably a t-shirt/cardi twin set) or the flannel for a supercuddly quit backing
Thanks for the giveaway!

I only learned of Charley Harper just recently. As on Ohioan, I love his cardinals, our state bird. As far as what I would like to make, without seeing the fabrics, I thought I would like to make Cake’s Red Velvet dress. But as I looked at the photo of the fabrics, it came to me: If I won 5 yards I would buy my first Colette pattern and make a pair of Clover pants. and even though I am Plus size there will be fabric left over, so I would also make StyleArc’s Mindi skirt! And wear to the office…

I’m a biologist and I love plant and animal prints! I’d definitely make a dress out of the awesomely cute red cardinal print!

I would definitely make a dress. Or faux roman blinds.

What is not to love about Charley Harper??!! The colors, the prints, ORGANIC!!! My parents are avid bird watchers, and by avid, I mean A-V-I-D. They live, breathe, and speak bird and their enthusiasm has now spread to the rest of the family. I would pick cotton poplin in the Red Eye Verio print and make my mom a tote bag with matching phone cover, my dad an eyeglass holder, matching A-Line skirts for my sister and my 2-year-old niece, and for myself a Hazel sundress (I live in San Diego so I can still get away with wearing a sundress, especially one made with this fall print and a little cardigan thrown over top).

Love the cardinals! I would totally use some (most?) of the 5 yards for Christmas items: stockings, a tree skirt, napkins, a braided fabric wreath like the one my mom made when I was little…

I’m excited because I LOVE fabrics with tree prints, but most of the ones I find in stores aren’t cute; they’re dull. I would probably use the fabric to make a collared shirt or to line a jacket.

I love the colours in the Charly Harper collections. They would be fab for a pair of groovy isis shorts or Laurel dress.

I think the colours are amazing and inspiring, particularly the blues with gold, brown and gray. My dining room has a similar colour scheme using the blue tones. If I had 5 yards I would make a patchwork table runner with matching place mats!

Up here in the Canadian praries you just don’t see fabri like this. I absolutely feel in love with this fabric and have slowly been allowing myself a half yard to a yard at a time. My husband only gets to see the completed products and then I show him the bill. This fabric made my
Mother gasp and she ordered fabric over from Italy many years back to make my grad dress.
I have made my son two Blank Slate V Neck t’s with the Elk Grove and twig pattern. If I won the five yards I would make myself a maxi skirt and then my boys infinity scarves with the rest. Thanks for the wonderful fabric!

I love this fabric! I think I’d do matchin jammies for my girls, and a bag for me.

Wow! I discovered Charley Harper a few years ago when I picked up an alphabet board book for nannying. Now I have calendars :)

If I won, I’d definitely use the fabric to make a baby blanket or quilt. No baby yet for me, but I’d need a head start on it anyway :)

WHAT??!! i’m so excited to hear about this shop so close to me but i didn’t know about. I have to get out of SLO more often! Oh, if i had 5 yards of charley harper fabric i would start by making an awesome carrying case for my nephew’s charley harper floor puzzles. But i’d probably have to make something for myself too. maybe a By Hand London Anna dress.

Love these prints! I’d use the fabric to back a quilt for my son!

Love the prints and the fiber quality. I would use the yardage for a two fold purpose in my fashion merchandising class. 1) I’d use small samples to help build our textile library and 2) for the students to use as they practice their new sewing skills sewing a small dress form pin cushion. Thanks!

Oh wow, I saw photos of the Charley Harper fabric from Birch from Quilt Market – amazing. I love his stuff. I would go for canvas for a new backpack or messenger bag or… flannel to make a cozy quilt backing for my Very First Quilt that I am in the process of finishing up! I am almost done piecing the top.

Knit – so awesome and so hard to find. Definitely shirts – knit shirts are wardrobe staples for me and it’s hard to find knit fabric that I would actually wear…

I knew of Fabricworm and I knew of Birch Fabrics (even have some in my stash) but I didn’t know about Birch Fabrics the shop. I’m so glad I got to learn more about this 3-armed company.

Ever since I learned of Charlie Harper I’ve been charmed by the prints. And 5 yards! I think that would have to become new chair cushions for a midcentury chair that I’ve been meaning to re-fresh. It is sitting sadly in the garage, waiting for me to find the perfect fabric for the cushions.

What WOULDN’T I do with those gorgeous prints? Thanks for unlocking a new obsession.

I’m lovin’ these retro style prints! I would definitely snag some knits as I’ve been wanting to dive into the world of knits more lately. Thx for the giveaway!

I love these! I think I’d make a dress, or perhaps a skirt for me and one for my sister.
Thanks!

1. I’m excited about this collection because I’m a big Charley Harper fan! I have a calendar of his artwork that I’m planning to frame some pictures from and I found a vintage cookbook that was illustrated by him that I absolutely love. I live near Birch and last time I went I saw the fabric in the back and wished that it had been released already!

2. I think if I won the five yards I would make some fun accessories for my house. Maybe some pillows, and probably a cute shirt too!

I love all the Birch Fabrics designs, and this collection is so lovely! Those birds are too cute. I would absolutely make a lady skater dress with the fabric, it’s perfect for it!

I’m so excited about these fabrics! I drooled over the beautiful Harper needlepoint canvases at Purl Soho but just couldn’t justify the price. The fabric makes it possible to bring home some of his great style. My two little ones love birds, so I’d absolutely make a pair of quilts for them.

Charley Harper makes me smile and not just for 2 and 1/2 men!
If I was to win 5 yards, it would be immediately used for Christmas PJ pants. My kids are 23, 20 & 16 but they still expect to open one present on Christmas Eve and it is always PJs!

I have several Charley Harper national park posters and have been eagerly awaiting this new fabric release! If I am the lucky winner I think I would make curtains for my vintage travel trailer.

Wow, the Knits are gorgeous! I really love the colors and the simple designs. (Twigs is my fave). If I had 5 yards, I’d make a super awesome knit dress.

The pattern.on the fabric are great and it is wonderful to have the fabric choices. With 5 yards, I would make something for my granddaughter and for myself(shirt, bag, etc). Thanks for this giveaway chance!

My favorite artwork in our house is a Charley Harper poster of animals in Monteverde, brought back from our honeymoon in Costa Rica.

I would make a blanket for baby #2, due in February.

It would be hard to decide between a cotton poplin or a knit! But I just got a copy of the English translation of Stylish Dress Book: Clothing for Everyday Wear by Yoshiko Tskuiori. I’d make a dress from this lovely fabric – and if there were anything leftover – a top as well!

What a fun new shop, new blog, new fabric collection! These are so awesome! I would probably make a cotton dress, or maybe a knit blazer. To many great fabrics to choose from that I will have a very tough choice :) ambrerose at(aol) dot(com)

LOVE charley harper! I’d make my daughter a really sweet classic dress.

I’ve visited their store and bought their fabrics! There’s always room for more at my house.

The prints are absolutely adorable. They are perfect for a new skirt or dress for myself.

I’m loving the coordinating fabrics and awesome colors! I don’t know how I’d decide between pj pants, a new dress holiday gifts for teachers… It will be so fun to decide!

wow! so fun! that fat little robin’s calling to me. love love love charley harper! if i won 5 yards i think i’d teach my daughter to sew. she just turned 17 and could totally rock a cute shift or skirt. and i’m sure i could think of something for me, too. ;-)

Love charley harpers designs I particularly like the bird ones (bird stuff everywhere in our house), saw that birch had done a fabric collection via Instagram. Had to find , need to have!!! My search led me to fabric worm (can’t order yet…….be still my bird like beating heart.. It will be on sale soon). Then my search brought me here ‘kismet’ I believe!!!

As it is getting chilly and dark the perfect thing to brighten my day would be some PJs made in cosy flannel -full of birdies of course- this is what I would make with my yardage. Perfect for Christmas morning PJs as would look good in the photos too

What AMAZING prints!!!! I love that 50’s vibe.

I’m torn between the knits and the flannel. I would definately make a dress, but with the knit I could make a dress for me and a dress and leggings for my daughter too!

A hawthorn dress of course from the flannel, cosy with enough left for lounge pants

Love the fabric, so pretty and fun, I could think of loads of ideas to make with these. I am just venturing into knits, so a whimsical knit fabric would make a gorgeous dress :)

The new Charley Harper fabrics are amazing! They’re fresh, clean, modern and playful! I especially like the ones with birds on them. If I would win I would use the fabric to either make a dress for myself or new cushions for our couch!

Charley Harper’s designs are just beautiful – I love that they’ve now been used on fabric! I think I’d go for some knit to make one of Cake’s Tiramisu dresses, and maybe some flannel to use in a raggy-quilt as well.

I just moved to Europe and in desperate need for a new (winter) wardrobe. 5 yards of the amazing Charley Harper fabric will do the trick!

I’m so excited because you never see really fun prints in flannel!! Id totally make snuggly pjs for this grim English winter!

Oh…I <3 these fabrics. I have been looking for fabrics that depict wildlife that is in our area. I live in the Adirondack State Park in "UPSTATE" New York and these are just wonderful!!! Looking at them my favorites are "Feeding Station", "Upside Downside", "Bank Swallow Blue" and "White Breasted Nuthatch." I have downloaded some directions from Fabric.com for some wonderful totes and bags and these fabrics would work wonderfully. I would love to get the opportunity to receive 5 yards and to make these bags out of some Charley Harper fabric!!!!

These prints look modern and a bit retro at the same time, and lovely that they’re on organic cotton to protect the planet. I think I’d use some of the knits to make cosy winter tops…

This is my first introduction to Birch Fabrics. Thanks, there is some lovely stuff. The Charley Harper collection is very nice and would make a wonderful initiative for me to create a quilt, something I have never done before. If I didn’t make a quilt, then the fabric would surely go towards making another awesome Laurel mashup as well as several Christmas prezzies.

The Charley Harper fabrics are so sweet and perfect for fall! Those birds!! Five yards could easily make a top and skirt… to wear with tights on a chilly day. : )
