Oooh, not sure what I would choose - probably novelty fabrics as we are starved of them in my country. What would I make? Bags, teeny weeny skirts,toys. Or maybe I'll just save it for a 'rainy day project'... ie. love it to death and be too scared to cut it up!
I'M maha, and I live in lebanon, a country where you can't find pretty fabrics. Si if I win, I would start by making thai pants and a t-shirt I've always wanted to sew.

Just moved and left "my" fabric store in Philly. Definitely need some new pillows for the living room.
I am a person with very little imagination and literally no fresh ideas, until a few nights ago when this wonderful idea for a quilt jumped into my mind. I have never seen this quilt so am hoping that it is indeed an original idea. That is what I am working on at this moment.

Fabric, fabric, fabric. One can never have too much and designer fabric is the best!
I am currently designing a quilt to fill the whole created by the loss of a quilt I made for my mother. She passed away recently, and the residence misplaced her quilt...Since she is the one to whom I owe my art/craft skills & inspiration, I want to make a new quilt as an homage to the one that was lost and to my mother. I would use the money to supplement that project.
I want to create a colorful bag insert that I can transfer between my work bags. Some thing that keeps everything in the correct place and adds a splash of whimsy to my work bags.

You know what I would love me some fabric. I'm a recent BFA graphic design grad and I'm acquiring my grandmothers old sewing machine today. Now, I don't know how to sew but I've just recently moved into my very own apartment and there are so many things I want to sew myself including (but not limited to) duvet cover, grommet top curtains, and making pillows and slip covers for old recycled couches. I've obsessed over DIY blogs like How About Orange and now that I'm getting this ancient sewing machine I will finally be able make awesome things for myself. What better way to start that all off with a fresh few bolts of unadulterated fabric.
Thanks,
Emily
