  1. I'd use it to buy fabric to FINALLY slip cover our couch and chair. I've been putting it off but our chair is starting to get holes in the fabric on the arms.

  2. I would love the opportunity to redo my toddler's room. She is two and just became a big sister (in August) and she needs her own space with her own style! We'd make a quilt, window coverings, pillows, and redo a children's rocking chair! In a variety of fabrics in variety shades of PINK! And Polka Dots!

  3. Thanks for all the inspiration! I have an order coming from fabric.com right now, so I would happily get more fabric for new curtains and/or slipcover fabric – I'm picking up the cutest chair from Craigslist this week!

  4. I'd really like to make a slipcover for my sewing room sofa or a new coverlet for the guest room. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  5. I love a giveaway! I have 2 love seats and 2 couches in desperate need of new slips. I am about to try and make slips for the first time. I found some old white denim in the basement for the love seats. But a gift certificate would be lovely for the fabric for the couches. This would help SO much! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  6. I have so many little projects that I need/want fabric for for the holidays….crayon rolls for my twin daughters, aprons for my mom and mother in law, bean bags for my 1 1/2 year old little guy and the list goes on!

  7. With my $75… First, i would find the perfect print to sew drapes for my Master bedroom! With whatever was leftover, I would either get fabric for roman shades in my grrls' room — or for a slipcover to put over the cute little club chair I picked up at the local thrift store!

    YAY! (hevarts at yahoo.com)

  8. I buy fabric because I like it, too. So that's probably what I'd do. Just buy the fabric and then figure out the project. But then again, I have been wanting to make my husband a jacket… Maybe that's what I'd do. If I didn't find something really cute, first. 😉

  9. I'm going to be needing fabric for curtains, fabric for a bedcover or quilt, and fabric for pillows for the casita which we're turning into a guest house.

  10. I have been dying to make a slip cover for my couch! I even have a sweet group of friends to help me. I figure we would have our own slip party…just like you and nester!

    All I need is the money to buy the fabric!!!

  11. I am dying to make some new pillow covers, so that's what I would do with it. I need a few more things to make my slipcover for my wingchair too, something I'm terrified to do, lol. The piping really intimidates me!

  12. I never have trouble filling a shopping cart at fabric.com! I'm primarily a garment sewist but I'd love to try my hand at some of the quilting collections out there…

  13. I'd buy fabric to slipcover a settee with cute lines that I've been hiding in a corner because of it's country check not fitting in…lol. And any leftover would go to some pillows.

  14. I really, REALLY want to make sofa slipcovers. REALLY, really. I just don't know if I can squeeze that in between now & the holidays! Otherwise it would be, hands down, a quilt for my older son's bed!

  15. Oh, where does a girl begin??
    Since I've found you , I am inspired to attack the couch. would love chocolate colored fabric to make the slip covers.
    Then off to the dining room chairs,windows,and the list goes on.

  16. I'd love to make a new duvet for our bedroom…or some new curtains and pillows for the living room…the sewing projects never end!!

  17. What a fun question! I've got a little guy on the way and I'd love some fresh fabric to make him a quilt before he arrives!

  18. I have several things I could do with with the fabric…. 1) buy fashion fabric for clothes for me (which would add to my already mountainous pile)or 2) buy some fabric to finish off my master bedroom bedding- pillow shams,etc. Just redid that room and need to update the bedding, or 3) buy some boy fabric to make a few baby boy gifts that need to happen (lots of girl fabric here but boy fabric is severely lacking!) Love fabric.com. Been on a limited budget of late so not spending on fabric as I have in the past… seeing some withdrawl symptoms!

  19. I'm not quite sure if I'm brave enough to recover any furniture yet, but I could definitely do some damage with a giftcard to fabrics.com! I LOVE that place! I'm tempted each month with convincing my family that we should do a month of Ramen — and all additional grocery budget money should go towards fabric. But I haven't quite gotten **that** desperate for new fabric…..yet. 😉

  20. So many things I could do with $75 of fabric: curtains for the girls' room, curtains for my sewing room, pillows for everywhere, dresses for the girls, shower curtain for the guest bath….the list could go on and on!

  21. I would use the fabric to cover my two Craigslist wingback chairs ($40 for both!) so my livingroom will stop looking like Craigslist! Please please please pick me!! 🙂

  22. Hi P&PD! Love the slips this week- I have an Ikea chair JUST like that in my garage!! Bright RED! I recently purchased your ebook and I am proud to say I just finished a slip for my first client! She loved it and I can't be more tickled! So with $75 gift cert I'd buy more fabric for slips and get more clients!

    Thanks!!

  23. To be honest, there's a good chance I'd just buy a ton of coordinating fabrics that I LOVE, and then either make a quilt, or just a bunch of small projects to give as gifts. I kind of have a problem collecting fabric with no real plan for it =)

  24. i want to make so many things and i am just starting out with all this fabric stuff and i need fabric…i dont have any…so this would be AMAZING!!!!
    i wanna make pillows and rolled fabric flowers… seriously need fabric!

  25. I would purchase fabric for beautiful white drapery for my bedroom. If there is money left, I would use the remainder to make my kids stuff, like pajamas or stuffed toys.

  26. I would love to make a new slip cover for the wingback love seat my friend gave me this weekend, for FREE! I love it. Although the extend of my sewing is a pillow, I'm willing to learn. 🙂
    Crossing my fingers!

  27. Our house came with some really cheapy looking cornice boards in 3 rooms. I've always thought they would look much better upholstered. Maybe winning the fabric would get me started.

  28. I would buy white fabric to slipcover my old freecycle sofa. I bought a ready-made slipcover 5 years ago, but it gotten pretty ratty and I love the look of the slips you all made for Nester!

  29. We are renting and have no window treatments. It looks like we will be here at least another year so I want to add a few touches to make it feel more like home. I would use the fabric for some curtains.

  30. omg…reupholster my dining chairs, recover seat on antique oak bench, valance for kitchen, make bedding/blankets for JCAPL rescue cats so they can lounge in style!!! Believe me, I will come up with something!

  31. If I had $75 to fabric.com, I would gladly slipcover my sofa and love seat in a bleached white or light linen color. As a newlywed who moved into her husbands bachlor pad… I am really excited about the possibility!

  32. I would use the giftcard to finally make a skirt for my bed. With my bed being on risers (to allow for more storage) I can't just buy a skirt from the store and have been putting off the project for about 2 years.

  33. I love to sew, so I have many ideas for fabric!! New curtains in my bedroom, slipcover a thrifted chair, make a bedskirt for my daughter's bed, make pajamas for the whole family…:)

  34. I would love to slip my sofa this winter, or make new curtains for the family room. I just finished slipping 2 wing chairs, my first slipcover project, and now want to do the sofa!!! thanks for the chance.

  35. I would love to work on my master bedroom. I've never really deocrated it (in 7 years of marriage!) A perfect fit quilt, some drapes, pillows – $75 would be a great start!

  36. I have so many projects I want to work on. Bedding for my daughtes room, slip covers for my living room,slip cover for a chair that was my sisters.

  37. We're closing on our first house at the end of this month and one project I'm really looking forward to is slipcovering two club chairs and a sectional that the sellers are leaving. They're from the 70's so they really need it!

  38. I would love to slipcover my couch, but I also sew all the time so who knows what I would make! I need some cute pillows for my couch and bed too, so maybe those!

  39. I actually do need to recover my couch cushions (thanks to my cat, my son, and my husband). So I would either use it for that or to feed my other sewing obsessions: quilting and dressmaking!

  40. Wow! I would love to win this giveaway. I would either buy fabric to make a slipcover, of course then I would have to buy your book too 🙂 Or possibly buy fabric to make tableclothes, etc. for my wedding reception!

  41. i'd make slipcovers for the 2 chairs i picked up at a yard sale over a year ago. as usual, my fear of failure kept me from starting. if i win, i'll take it as a sign to get'r dun. 😉

  42. Thanks to the Nester, I found your blog and have been telling my husband for the last 3 weeks that I'm DYING to slip cover my sofa. I think with a “win” he'd be willing to let me do it! 🙂

  43. I desperately need new pillow and a cushion for a bench! We're buying a house this winter, so I'm sure there'll be gobs of stuff to use it for!

    whitney.lifferth[at]gmail.com

  44. Wow, this is great!!! Thanks so much. I don't like the drapes I have now in my living room…I'd like something with more color and a print. I have a friend who would make them for me, just need the fabric!

  45. Oh what a great giveaway! Our next baby is due in Feb and I have been wanting to slipcover a rocking chair and ottoman for the nursery, but my dream fabric is so expensive. This would help so much! Also I would love to make toile curtains for the room… Thanks for the chance to win!

  46. I would LOVE this! As soon as I finish with grad school in December, I'm planning some window treatments, pillow covers, and maybe chair covers using a few different Premier Prints fabrics, which I'll be getting either way. This gift card could allow me to do a little more, rather than buying fabric bit by bit!

  47. I just refinished my dining table and now I want to make some slipcovers for the chairs. Freebie fabric might be enough motivation to overcome the fear!

  48. I love this giveaway! I have a beautiful wing back chair in my master bedroom that would look wonderful with a white slipcover on it. I just don't know how! I need this book 🙂

  49. K, ever since I first saw you help the Nester slip cover her couch, I have been determined to learn to do this on my own, even going so far as to ask my husband for your ebook for Christmas. We're buying our first home and we're set to close the week of Christmas, so I would use the gift card to buy all manner of fabric for curtains, slipcovers for our couch, dining room chairs, and basically any other thing I could stretch the fabric out to cover. =] Regardless of whether I win the gift card, I'll definitely be using your ebook to make some magic, so thank you!

  50. Oh! I would get 15 yards of something and recover my sofa…which is rococo and has wood carved frame all around it, so I don't think is a candidate for a slipcover. If you have a better idea, please let me know! Upholstery channels, as it has now, intimidate me!

  51. I would use the fabric to make a lap quilt for the couch and to make some new pillow covers as well. I would also be suckered into making a dress or two for my daughter.

  52. I have a serious obsession with fabric. I'm a sew-a-holic and will always look for any excuse to cover the world around me in fabric. LOL. I'd love to get some new stuff to make pillows for my couch, and I'd like to make a play tent for my kids . . . stuffed animals, purses, bags, you name it! Please pick me!

  53. Oh my goodness!! I have been on fabric.com obsessively the last few weeks–I have several fabrics picked out for window coverings and pillows for my bedroom (in dire need of help) and my living room! I would LOVE this!

  54. I'll make some bedding for my “british nursery”, where my kids ages 4, 3, and 18 months will soon be sharing. Planning to join your slipcover party this month too!

  55. Oh, the possibilities!! I would love to slipcover my couch, but don't know if I'd be up for the challenge or not. I'd love to make some curtains or perhaps attempt a quilt though. Thanks for the great giveaway!!

  56. what a great giveaway! Thanks! My house is lacking in the window treatment/ pillow area, so I would get something to fill that need!
    jhales_finance at yahoo dot com!

  57. Thanks to the inspiration from you and The Nester, I have started slipcovering all of my furniture with white cotton duck. I would buy the 20+ yards I still need to cover my sectional couch. I also have my eye on some turquoise linen at fabric.com to make some painted tea towels for my kitchen to match my new turquoise accents. Thanks for the giveaway!

  58. A friend is on a very tight budget and jonesing for new curtains so I would buy the fabric she wants!

  59. My sofa needs recovering and a new slipcover would be perfect. I have tried loose ones but I think a custom one would be perfect. This could be the perfect opportunity to break out the sewing machine and get creative!!

    Thanks for the entry.

  60. My couch has not had a new outfit in years and I know she is not feeling as pretty as she once did. :0(
    So I would like to make her a new outfit. She needs to feel pretty again!! :0)

  61. I would love to buy some fabric just to help beautify my home in whatever ways I can. My husband has a lot of down time right now while awaiting a surgery, and it would be nice to give him something beautiful to look at while he's stuck here so much.

  62. I would love to learn how to slipcover this sad, white armchair that is the MOST comfortable chair in the world, but abused by my children! The $75 toward fabric will come in handy!

  63. I would use the fabric to beautify and spruce up my home a bit. My husband has a bunch of downtime wile awaiting the surgery, and I would love to give him something nice to look at!

  64. I found this giveaway via The Nester! This is so awesome. 🙂
    I would LOVE to have that much to spend on fabric, *swoon*! Curtains? Aprons? Bags? Pillows? ?!?!?! There are so many things I don't even know where to begin!!

  65. I would slipcover 2 leather wingback chairs that used to sit in my father's law office before he retired. Very sentimental to me, but need an update! 🙂

  66. I could do so much with this! I have a sofa and two chairs that I want to slipcover! I love your blog and seeing all of your great ideas!

  67. I would probably do just what you suggested- slipcover my sofas. They both look pretty bad and I've been wishing for new ones… this would fit the budget much more nicely 😀 ~Amber

  68. I would definitely use the fabric to make a slip cover for my hideous couch. Someone gave it to us and it is so comfortable but I do not at all like the plaid print. 🙂

  69. Wow, so many comments! I would love to learn to sew a slipcover for the hand-me-down couch my husband and I receieved from his sister. Originally this couch was their Aunt's. Its a great sitting couch, I'd just like to fancy it up, including ruffles on the bottom. Please help! 🙂

  70. I'd buy some houndstooth fabric. I can't find any around here! I also need some fabric to make a cushion for the stool I just repainted!
    Just found your blog, but I love it and I'll definitely be back!

  71. I'd buy fabric to slipcover my poor chair and a half and ottoman, it's thread bare and needs work but it is the best chair to read to my kiddos in.

  72. I would love to make some new pillows for my couch . . . and really I'd love to slipcover our loveseat but I'm just not sure that I'm up to that yet!

  73. I would buy fabric to cover my husbands favorite chair! It's a very close match to the Dad's recliner on Frasier..needless to say it's in dire need of a slip!!

  74. I'm in need of a serious amount of fabric for a blanket….or maybe it's curtains…or pillows. Well, maybe I have alot of stuff I need to do around the house! marissa

  75. OMG- what WOULDN'T I do with the fabric…….. Table runners, valance for living room drapes, apron for my daughter, pillows for my sofa, dining room chair covers, collect it, stare at it, flaunt it, show it off……etc!

  76. I love fabric! 🙂 and there's so much I need to do with it haha – we move into a new house in a month or so — which means lots of fabric decorating needs!

  77. I was thinking of buying fabric to make more blankets and burpcloths for all the preggo friends, but after seeing your lazy girl quilt, I decided – I WANT ONE!!!! So there it is. Now I have to have one!

  78. I would buy fabric to make a slipcover for my new armchair. It definitely needs a slipcover because the seat is ripped and the word “FREE” is written in blue Sharpie on the back. 🙂

  79. I don't know how to sew, but this would sure motivate me. There is a group of ladies at my church who meet and sew, and they would help me make a couch slipcover since mine is covered with a blanket right now.

  80. I've been learning how to make pillow covers and would love to get my hands on some awesome fabric to make some for my bed!

    ashleylynnborden(at)hotmail(dot)com

  81. I'd love to make some window mistreatments for our living room! We've lived here a full year and still no curtains… this would be just the motivation I need!

  82. Ooh, I bought your ebook last summer and I SO want to slipcover the couch in our front room. You made it seem do-able. Money for fabric would get the project underway.

  83. I would buy fabric to cover seat cushions on two antique dining chairs I bought last year. They still have the same “grandma-embroidered” seats!!

  84. I would buy fabric to recover my husband's old yellow/gold VINYL chair he won't let me trash. It used to be gold leather, but his parents took the leather off to repair their couch and had it recovered in “matching” vinyl before giving to my husband. It's such and eye sore, I can't wait to make it cute one day!

  85. I have another sleepersofa to recover. This one is currently red courdoroy. Weird! I already have the ebook and have used it for several pieces!

  86. Oh…..I could use it for so many things. Curtains, pillows, you name it…I could use it for any of it. : )

    Angie

  87. It is hard to decide what I would do with the fabric – either make some new pillow covers or slipcover two slipper chairs. Or add a panel to the bottom of my curtains. So many choices…

  88. For $75 I'd attempt a slip cover… My grandfather passed away 5 years ago and I was lucky enough to take his vintage lazy boy recliner. Unfortunately it's an orange, brown and khaki colored eyesore. I love it so much I won't get rid of it! But sure could use slipcovers…

    Otherwise I'm a fan of quilts. I'd love to give out some quilts for birthdays next year!

  89. i have a light pink armchair that i would love to upholster/ make slipcover for. it was my mom's & i can't seem to part with it because i know i could make it fabulous!!

  90. really? i never “know” what I'm going to do with all my fabric! probably some little purses, skirts, maybe even some pretty valances for our uncovered downstairs windows…

  91. The four teenagers in my house are wearing out the couch in the game room…it needs a slipcover so badly!!! That is what I would do with the fabric!!!

  92. I have recently redone my kitchen but still have finishing touches to complete. This was a long overdue remodel (25yrs in the making)and I have saved long and hard for it. I would love to pick out something fashionable and fresh to use to make window treatments. This $75 would go a long way in making that happen.

  93. I'm in the process of finding the perfect chairs for my sitting room, but since I'm super cheap, they won't be new. I am preparing myself to recover these elusive chairs, and this fabric money would be fab!!!

  94. I must recover my sofa.. but I don't know where too start.. One of the arms where my husband sits is thread-bearing! It's so embarrassing..I've strategically placed a cushion cover over it now.. help

  95. Oooooh… Don't laugh but, I want to slip my stack of 5 nap cots (I have a family child care business) to make it look like a mini sofa for the kiddos to read on when it's not nap time!

  96. Thank you for a chance to win! I've been wanting some new drapes in the living room – a win would mean learning how to use my sewing machine and going for it!!

  97. oh man i love fabric… what WOULDN'T i do? quilt for baby #2 on the way, quilt for big sister's new big girl bed, reupholster my dining room chairs, new couch throw pillows and cozy snuggle blankets… 🙂 thanks for a great giveaway!

  98. What would I do with my fabric? Whatever is easy (since I don't know how to sew). But I DO know how to use stitch witchery and fabric glue. 🙂 Thanks for the cool giveaway.

  99. I'd love to make so curtains for my bedroom and living room and I also need to recover my dining room chairs! Oh the possibilities

  100. I would Finally make a slip cover for the huge ugly blue velvet wingback chair I bought from the thrift store for $30. ahh!

    Thanks Pink & Polka Dot 🙂

  101. I have sewn, tailored, and upholstered, but I have never really slipcovered. If I win, I will make a nice slipcover for one of my ebay chair finds. Ann

  102. I would make a curtain/valance/shade for our bedroom to spruce it up– we've been married 6 months, time to get this awesome apartment decorated up right! 🙂

  103. Oh I have so many things on my list right now to make. This would be perfect to help me get started!
    I need to make a slip cover for my couch, drapes, slip cover a chair in my room, pillow and more drapes. Can you tell I just moved into a new house?

  104. Ooo, I would definitely use it to buy fabric for curtains. I just finished slipcovering my couch and arm chair through your inspiration! It looks fabulous and I now love my living room! Would love to make a quilt as well…hhhmm…which to buy? Curtain material or quilt material? Or Pillows? The world may never know!

    Laine

  105. I have a list of fabrics from Fabric.com that I could do dozens of wonderful things with. this is the only way I will be able to order, a dream come true!

  106. Once I'm finished making my slipcovers for my sofa AND love seat (thank you Lazy Girl's Guide to Customer Slipcovers!)I would love to buy fabric to make some curtains, and then slipcover a chair, an ottoman, and then, OK I need to stop now.

  107. I have a couch pillow from a very old couch named Myrtle. Tragically my husband had to let her go when we got married but I kept the pillow for him on the condition that I would cover it and keep it in our home as a mommentum from his bachelor days. So I would use the fabric to cover that and a few other pillows along with making duve or quilt. I would slip cover a couch or chair but I don't have one yet.

  108. I would slipcover a wonderful chair that I picked out of someone's trash. I was going to have it reupholstered until I saw the slipcovers. Never thought about doing that.

  109. What would I do with $75 worth of fabric. Probably buy it and then lay around crying wishing I could hire you to come over and make me a slip cover. That is more then likely what I would do.

  110. Oh, that's easy, I would lip cover two wing chairs I picked up this summer that are just waiting to get pretty. The premier print Suzani is calling my name!

  111. I am in the process of moving and redecorating my children's bedrooms. Unfortunately I already have the material for my boys' room, but I have a little girl's room that is in desperate need of some new curtains and bedding ;0) It would definitely be well spent. Fabric is always one of my favorite things to shop for….it always fits ;0)

  112. I have a millions projects that I need fun fabric for…aprons, furniture recovering, quilts, etc….would love to have access to some new fabric

  113. I'm a fabric addict. I have a couple of quilts for my daughters' beds that need to be finished… so I'd get the fabric to go with that! Thanks for the chance to enter!

  114. Love this giveaway! Thanks for the chance. I have been buying fabric from Fabric.com since Nester mentioned them. The project would depend on what fabric I fell in love with. Either recovering furniture, or a mistreatment.

  115. I have a chair & ottoman in our guest room that I've been meaning to slipcover. I would definitely use this gift card to purchase the fabric to cover it.

  116. I'm sure I would find something lovely to make like new cushions to go with my newly slipped lounges. Just to have access to fabrics that are a bit different would be nice as we only really have one fabric chain store left in Australia.

  117. I'd make window treatments for my family room. We've been in our house for 17 years…. no window treatments in there. It is really because the view is pretty and pretty private, but the older I get the colder it is in the winter and it will be warmer if I can close off the huge expanse of glass : )

  118. oh exciting!! i'm in need of some fabric..and can you believe i have to drive 90+ miles to get to a city that has fabric stores…ugh. we can't even get fabric at our local wal-mart anymore…grrr
    SO…i've got 2 projects that have been sitting here waiting for a transformation..a chair that goes in my daughter's room – and an old coffee table that i'm making into a bench…
    sooo….hope i win!! thanks for the opportunity!!

  119. I would use it to buy fabric for much needed curtains in my breakfast room & little girl's room. If there's any left over I might end up with a new pillow or two! Awesome!

  120. I would love to learn how to slipcover. I'm afraid of trying, but it is something I've always wanted to know how to do. I have two chairs in my living room that are desperate for a makeover.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  121. huge dreams to make over my living room…fabric would go to slipcovering a nice wing chair…which I still need to find

  122. I would use my fabric for as many projects as possible. I have and empty fabric fund and would love to replenish my stash. This would be a huge blessing for a crafter in need.

  123. I have been wanting to make cute pillows forever now. My husband bought me my first sewing machine for my birthday and I haven't been able to get cute fabric to use it yet. So let's hope I win!

  124. I would love to recover 2 chairs I inherited from my grandmother. She was a do it yourself classy lady way back when and I know that's where I get my “can do” attitude from!

  125. My husband and I just moved into a major RENO house…. oh my, so what would I do with beautiful fabric? Well, I have a few couches that need funky pillows. I have a soon to be family room and a bedroom that both need curtains badly. Words can not describe the amount of sewing I'd like to do, if I had the money to purchase fabric!

  126. I would make a couple of slipcovers for 2 wing chairs that I have that are not looking awesome in my family room….or curtains for a room in my house…or 2!

  127. definitely recover my not so white anymore couch that we inherited from my in-laws because it was my hubby's fav couch growing up…..
    shannonwmartino [at] gmail [dot] com

  128. I am a fabric-aholic also! I was going to fabric.com to look for some cute fabric to make fancy aprons for my daughters for Christmas. I would also love to recover a couch and two chairs in a gray chenille or linen.

  129. My husband is a baker and comes home covered in flour and promptly throws his tired you-know-what down on our black fabric couch (a bachelor-days purchase). The couch is still sturdy, but would be so much more practical and would look so much better if it were slipcovered in a sturdy white fabric. So, that's what I would do with if I won the $75.

  130. My beloved white chair has met her match with my beloved kitty's claws. I'll be making a fun new slipcover for the chair and ottoman. And then I'll stop scolding my kitty.

  131. I am a beginning sewer and just finished making curtains for my daughter's room (with fabric I ordered from fabric.com!) I would use the money for fabric for so many things, mainly another set of curtains I think. My “projects” folder is growing by the day as I find new sewing projects I want to try!

  132. I'd buy fabric for quilts (for as many of my children as it would buy fabric). Thanks for hosting this wonderful giveaway!

    Ha! And I just have to share… my word verification is “entries.”

  133. With that moolah for fabric.com I'd get some fabric to make a new duvet cover for my bed. It desperately needs a new look.

    Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

  134. I so much want to learn to sew to make all these lovely slipcovers. I may have to beg my mother-in-law to teach me so that I could make one for my rocking chair.

  135. I am in desperate need of slipcovers for my living room. I am a stay at home mom and money is tight. After 15 yrs of marriage, I was finally able to convince my husband to purchase a new couch last year…yea! However, I have an awful looking chaise and side chair that doesn't match the sofa. I am a beginner sofa and really think I can attempt to tackle a slipcovering project. I would use the fabric to slipcover my chaise…please pick me. Thanks 🙂

  136. I have a great chair that is in desperate need of a makeover. I would use the fabric to make this chair beautiful again.

  137. I'd love to buy some of the fabric that I always gaze lovingly at…I have a long list of things that I would do with it! Pillows for the guest room, a cushion cover for our new “mud room”, curtains for my dining room, among many others! 🙂

  138. I would definitely have to get some fabric to make pillows, some to make curtains and some to make some kind of accessories for me and my daughter!

  139. I love fabric. I need to start sewing again, it has been a long time. Maybe start with curtains for my son's room since my mom asked me the other day when I was going to make him some!!

  140. I would make a quilt for my father for his birthday in April [ I am sure I would wait until mid March to get started – no need to start too early].

  141. What a great way to start sewing slipcovers…I've never touched a sewing machine but if I win the gift card, it would be a sign…crossing my fingers!

  142. Oh so fun!! We are moving into a new home that does not have a single window treatment, so I might use the fabric for some curtains/valances. Or to create a slipcover for the cheap/free couch we have to get from craigslist 🙂

  143. I'd do some online shopping with my daughters who are learning to sew. We'd pick out fabric for a quilt, or some pajama pants…something easy.

  144. I would love to make some Red and Teal Roman Shades for my LR. I love that combination! I'd make a few toss pillows, too.
    I'm NEW to your blog and I LUV it! Can't wait to read ALL of it and get some ideas.

    P.S. Thank You..for Hosting this Giveaway!

  145. I've been saving my bucks to buys some beautiful linen to recover an ugly 1970″s gold,crushed velvet wingback chair that belonged to my grandfather. This would do the trick! Whoo-pee!

  146. I would love to recover my old Thomasville couch! I have never attempted a project of this magnitude and don't even know if i can do it. My daughter, Katie, is the one that thinks we can do it. She will try to tackle just about anything! Great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

  147. I would re-cover a sectional couch that we scored on Freecycle with white denim or linen and inspire my friends and family to what can be done on a very tight budget!

  148. oh… I would absolutely buy fabric to slip cover 8 large floral parsons chairs that are currently sitting in my dining room! they are in need of a bit of simplicity!!!

  149. I would use the fabric to make a slipcover for my worn out couch! I've been wanting to do it for so long but haven't had the time or money to get started!

  150. Ta-da! I just subscribed. This makes you the FIRST BLOG to which I have ever subscribed. (I wasn't even sure what that meant.)

    I hope you are duly impressed by this honor! 🙂

  151. I would LOVE to some day soon make a slipcover to spruce up my chair in our bedroom, and I would also love to make a headboard, and some pillows, AND a cute quilt for my daughter Abby's big girl bed…. ohhh, the options are endless! (:

  152. I would help my daughter buy fabric. She likes to sew dresses for herself and her sister from vintage (40's & 50″s) patterns she finds at thrift stores, online, estate sales, etc. A great hobby for a teenager, but she has a hard time finding fabric she really loves. I'm sure she could do it with a $75 gift card from fabric.com! 🙂

  153. Wow. Make a dress. Maybe some pillows. Let myself buy a chair to slipcover. Baby shower gifts. What would I NOT do with $75 worth of free fabric?!

  154. I would buy some fabric to finally make window treatments for our living room! Long overdue! Thanks for the opportunity!

  155. Oh, I am a learning seamstress- teaching myself- and just haven't the funds to begin my fabric stash- it's one piece at a time, and gets used up completely on the project! I would love to get a whole pile of beautiful fabric for inspiration- thank you!

  156. Do you really need a reason to buy fabric? 😉 Seriously, I would use the fabric to give my almost 11-yr-old a room makeover. Can hardly wait!

  157. I'd buy yards and yards of drapery material for some big windows in our house. And then maybe a little bit of baby fabrics for our boy due in the spring!

  158. I know exactly what I would do- I would buy some fabric to make a quilt for my guest room. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  159. I'd make some pillow covers for the couch…then maybe sew some things for our boys! We also have a couch in need of new slip covers, so just maybe i'd be brave enough to try that, too!

  160. I would make some fancy pillows for my livingroom. As this next week I'm putting my ebook by Pink and Polka dot to work and starting on my slipcover for my couch. I really (!) wanted to do my two faded rose colored queen anne chairs. But I'll take your advise and start with the couch! Thanks the great giveaway!

  161. We're moving our 2 boys into a shared room in preparation for their litte sister's arrival so I've gotta come up with 2 twin sized quilts and a window treatment/ mistreatment, so I'd definitely put the gift card toward that project!

  162. I would buy a soft gray fabric or a blue ticking pattern to re-cover a chair & ottaman my sweet mom passed down to me! 🙂

  163. I'm a bit late on this …

    I would use the fabric to slip cover a hand-me-down couch that sits in the front room. My husband and I bought a house but don't have enough furniture to fill it, so my brother-in-law gave us his old couch from his bachelor days!

  164. Well, since we just moved to a new apartment, I would absolutely buy fabric for drapes and pillows to give some of our character to our new little corner of the world.

  165. a) I would love to slipcover our couches

    or

    b) I would buy fabric and attempt to make bedding for our child that will be arriving in March

    or

    c) buy lots of new fabric to expand my etsy shop!

    Such a great giveaway! Thank you1

  166. Am I too late? Hope not. I have many things I'd use that $75 for: bedroom window treatments, office window treatments, recover a bench in the living room, throw pillows for the sofa, shower curtain. I recently moved so the list could go on. Thanks for such a great giveaway and site!

  167. i would buy some fabric to make some pillow covers that are greatly needed to add the finishing touches to my room!

  168. I'd like to try slipcovering an upholstered glider so it could make its' way out into the living room as it's no longer needed in the kids' room.

  169. Okay, I would cover my living room furniture, my dining room chairs and make a new duvet cover for bed room with matching pillows…. I'm pretty thrifty and luuuuuuuuv that store ai know ai could do it!!!!!
