15 Jul One More Time + An EmmaOneSock Giveaway!
You know the feeling when you’re itching to make your last pattern o n e. m o r e. t i m e…..
but since I just wrote extensively about Vogue 1809, this post is about the fabric….
I now realize how little I knew about fabrics when I returned to sewing in 2011. I thought cotton was cotton and wool was wool…. polyester was a dirty word and so was rayon. I thought all silk was luxurious and linen too. You get the picture.
In 2011 I would have never believed my favorite summer sewing fabric would be cotton blended with lycra or spandex, but it’s true.
I get it when people tell me they want to touch and feel a fabric before buying, but the education I have received from online fabric shopping is invaluable.
My latest is sewn from a stretch dressweight woven purchased from EmmaOneSock. Owner Linda Podietz not only offers exceptional fabrics on her website, but truly makes online fabric shopping a pleasure.
Take my latest shopping experience for example………
After selecting my category, the blue and white floral image caught my eye…..
Linda’s description includes the Pantone number, an image of the draped fabric and coordinating fabric possibilities. ( If you are serious about your colors, Pantone Charts are readily available online.)
From a NY designer, this is a fantastic cotton/spandex stretch dressweight woven, medium weight and opaque, with a cottony drape. The all-over graphic flowers print is fresh and summery (8″ vertical repeat), and colors are navy and midnight on a white ground (PANTONE 19-3951, 19-3920, etc.). 15% stretch in the width with great recovery. Great for dresses, skirts, tunic, fitted jacket, capris, culottes, etc. Beautiful quality! Test first if you would like to machine wash and dry (cold water, low heat, separately).
Exceptional customer service……..
The fabrics arrive promptly, are beautifully packaged and I have never been disappointed.!
In support of the Ready to Wear Fast, EmmaOneSock is providing a $100 gift certificate giveaway to one lucky winner (open to all Goodbye Valentino readers). Which EmmaOneSock fabric would you like to win? To enter the giveaway visit the EmmaOneSock website, then leave me a comment below stating your favorite EmmaOneSock fabric. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, July 18.
Good luck readers! 😊

Posted at 08:42h, 15 JulyLinen and linen blends are the fabrics that are my favorites. Thanks.
Elise O'Connor
Posted at 08:46h, 15 JulySo many beautiful fabrics from this store. I have ordered from the, several times and their fabrics are beautiful and living just down the street I do receive my fabrics quickly. I would love to receive the A1ice & 01ivia textured flowers jacquard brocade but really any fabric would be great!!!
Patricia Oakley
Posted at 08:51h, 15 JulyI love all of emmaOneSock’s knit 100% linen https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/39182?catId=36§Id=101. This one is the blush pink.
Beverly Meadows
Posted at 08:56h, 15 JulyI love the Dutch digital blue/green floral cotton/lycra knit, but it’s hard to choose from so many beautiful fabrics!
Jennifer Bennett
Posted at 08:57h, 15 JulyMy favorite is Fabric #66458 – the sparkly Chanel tweed. I’ve been meaning to make a Chanel-inspired jacket and this would be perfect!
I do want to comment on the Pantone, however. For me it is not practical to spend $100+ for a Pantone fan deck so its use to describe colors does me no good, however accurate it might be. In my perfect world, Emma (and other online fabric vendors) would use Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams paint colors that are easily accessible to all sewers. I’ve searched but can’t find an online chart converting Pantone to BM or SW. If there is one, I hope someone might post a link.
Love your blog, Sarah!
Jennifer
Linda Podietz
Posted at 11:40h, 15 JulyHi Jennifer, Actually, all of the Pantone numbers referenced on the Emma One Sock website are “clickable” and link right to the Pantone color online. There’s not cross-referencing needed as it’s just a click away. —Linda
Mary Deeter
Posted at 08:58h, 15 JulyDouble Border Yarn Scramble coating caught my eye. Being a knitter, that would make a fun coat to show my love of knitting!

Jo Barley
Posted at 08:59h, 15 JulyI like #67385. 100% Linen Wonderful!
Rebecca Trittel
Posted at 09:01h, 15 JulyGreat giveaway – but how do you pick just ONE fabric from Emmaonesock??? They are all so lovely! Right now, my favorite is the Dutch digital ‘pink roses’ cotton/lycra knit. It is so lovely! Thanks for a giveaway opp!
Sue Kristiansen
Posted at 09:01h, 15 JulyI love every fabric I’ve ever bought from her! The reembroidered navy lace would make a lovely skirt with Susan Khalje’s class and pattern, and I love all the digital knit prints!
Andrea Birkan
Posted at 09:03h, 15 JulyI have bought fabric from Linda many times over the years. I have never been disappointed . The fabric always arrives a few days after I order it and is beautifully packaged. One of my favorite websites to order from I would love to win the Alice and Olivia satin flower swirl rayon/silk burnout
Lisa Fredericksen
Posted at 09:03h, 15 JulyFabric 67001, Garden Dream is lovely! I also purchase fabric from EmmaOneSock and it is a wonderful company. Real people will respond to e-mails and phone calls and the fabric is all high quality and comes packaged beautifully. I purchased the fabric for my “mother-of-the-bride dress” from EOS so I’ll always have this special connection.
Connie Murphy
Posted at 09:07h, 15 JulyI love this fabric combined with your pattern. I can’t help myself when it comes to the sweater knits on EOS. I have a stack but the latest one caught my eye. It’s the Italian blue/turquoise seed stitch cotton sweater knit. I might have to just purchase that one and use a gift cert for the next one that comes along! I was raised in Chicago but live in Florida. I can’t help but think about how great a sweater feels on a cool day. I love the way the knits are folded and packed in tissue. They have a special place in my stash.
Miriam Knox
Posted at 09:07h, 15 JulyI fell in love with her NY designer black with shapes silk charmeuse. It looks so beautiful and it would be fun to create something gorgeous from it. What beautiful fabrics she has!

Posted at 09:09h, 15 JulySo many stunning fabrics! I’m in love with “garden floral embroidered sheer mesh – pink/butter”. It looks just like it sounds, delicious! I would make a sheer t, or a kimono duster with it, given the opportunity.
Sharon Latham
Posted at 09:09h, 15 JulyMy favourite Emma One Sock fabric , at the moment, is an Italian digital layered viscose spandex #67461. Linda always has the most beautiful knits for t-shirts. I must have ‘a million’, but never enough.
Marilyn S
Posted at 09:12h, 15 JulyI have several EOS fabrics in my closet right now [some are favorites!] but the one I’m holding onto until fall is “#55716 soft, drapey, heathery sweater knit – bleached blue”— it is so lusciously soft. I’ve got 3.5 yards to make a two-some of some kind and I cannot wait to wear it! I love how she describes her fabrics and it’s one of my favorite sites to browse and plan. Thanks for this chance to get more of her magnificent goodies.

AJ Semuel
Posted at 09:16h, 15 JulyLove all Emma One Sock fabrics but right now maybe it’s the Italian viscose/silk shantung woven – dusty plum # 67482 … but really, all the fabrics are wonderful.
Love your dress and thank you (and to Emma One Sock) for doing the giveaway!!
Jane Cartwright
Posted at 09:17h, 15 JulyThanks to Linda for this offer! It’s my favorite fabric web site. I’d go with #67433, the painterly pink panels fabric. I’d make it into a cool summer dress with a full skirt. I love those girly colors!
Krysti Emerson
Posted at 09:22h, 15 Julyhttps://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/recentarrivals.asp?lcd=202239

Bronwyn David
Posted at 09:23h, 15 JulyI’m a huge fan of Emma One Sock – all the way from Australia. Usually I have to wait for a favourable exchange rate or a sale on the site to justify a purchase, so I”d love to win. At the moment I have my eye on this silk cotton voile – perfect for hot Australian summers: https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/66540?catId=61§Id=105
Anita Brandau
Posted at 09:24h, 15 JulyOh my…..there are so many yummy fabrics to choose from but I would use the Reembroidered Cotton Blend Floral Lace in Antique Pink to make a dress for a wedding I have to attend. It would be stunning!
Jennifer Churchill
Posted at 09:24h, 15 JulyLovely dress! I love many of the fabrics at Emma One Sock….I would pick the digital Italian Viscose Spandex such as item 67461.
Mable Kinzie
Posted at 09:28h, 15 JulyLove shopping here! Linda and her team are so helpful with advice on best matches, weights, availability, to say nothing if the amazing swatch service! Here’s a fabric I’d love to work with:

I love the Painters Palette Spandex 66994
BJ Byrd
Posted at 09:32h, 15 JulyGoodness, Emma One Sock has so many pretty fabrics. My starting favorite would be a linen floral #67385 for a blouse.. I met you at Charlotte Sewing Center in Charlotte. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I have enjoyed reading about your sewing journey. Hopefully mine will be as rich and creative!
Erin Perschbacher
Posted at 09:33h, 15 JulyEOS’s new tencel/lyocel twills are AMAZING and a wonderful price! But I also love their designer roll end finds – like little treasures for making a unique piece at home. I *always* keep my eye on that page!
Judy Jacque Miller

Maura Powers
Posted at 09:40h, 15 July100% linen digital print – watercolor border floral – I would love to make a dress with it.
Joyce Montgomery
Posted at 09:41h, 15 JulyWhat a lovely lot of fabrics, just had a fabulous hour… hard to make a decision but #66682 I think would be a lovely summer dres in a very hot climate. Linens and silks are the nicest to wear…
PsychicSewerKathleen
Posted at 09:44h, 15 JulyI love these cable knits https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/67486?catId=130§Id=100 – I’ve always wished I could knit myself so when I saw these I thought they would make up a sweater that I’ll need in the fall and it will look hand knitted! I love emmaonesock too. I’ve ordered from her a couple of times and her parcels always come quickly and no customs charges (she knows how to mark her packages to Canada!) 🙂
Sheryl Belson
Posted at 09:44h, 15 JulyI would love to make a shirt from the ladybug blue and white stripe shirting fabric!
Marlene Mehn
Posted at 09:45h, 15 JulyWow, so many beautiful fabrics! It was difficult to select just one, love all the floral prints.
Marybeth Tawfik
Posted at 09:48h, 15 JulyOh, the Sapphire mudsilk. I have been a big fan of EmmaOneSock for a very long time … these days, shopping for dress fabric online is really my only option. And the site makes a huge difference!
Jacqueline Harris
Posted at 09:48h, 15 JulyHello Sarah,
I love buying fabric from EmmaOneSock. The fabrics arrive beautifully packaged, and the customer service is great. They also have great info on the fabrics, not to mention the tutorials by Kathryn Brynne on the website!
My fabric of choice for today would be the “summery floral embroidered sheer mesh – black”. I don’t wear floral-ly type fashions, but this one is edgy, and I like that about it. I’ve never sewn with this type of fabric either, so it would certainly be a learning curve! 🙂
Have a great day!
Jacqueline
Jan Pitts
Posted at 09:57h, 15 JulyLike so many of the previous comments, EOS is a joy to shop from. Great quality Fabrics & service. I particularly love the linen knits
Kerry McNutt
Posted at 09:59h, 15 JulyI would LOVE any stretch cotton for pants!!

Kimberly Trick
Posted at 10:01h, 15 JulyI would love to have some of the A1ice & 01ivia botanical display jacquard brocade for a tunic dress.
SarahJean Harrison
Posted at 10:07h, 15 Julyfabric #65820 The ladybug embroidered, blue and white stripe shirting is my favorite. I was lovingly nicknamed ladybug during my college years, so this fabric brings back sweet memories, but I also adore the newest embroidery trends and being apart of history. The art has been with us since Cro-Magnon days, and although the “supplies” haven’t changed, just decorative thread… the differences in history are remarkable. China, Japan, Persia… and the modern world with embroidery machines… I just love it all!
Yoshie Wong
Posted at 10:07h, 15 JulySomething in the hot pink range. Love Emma puts the Pantone #!
Ruth Black
Posted at 10:13h, 15 JulyI would love to win the bengaline vertical stretch dark blue denim. I’ve browsed the emma one sock website many times, but have yet to pull the trigger. 🙂
Vicki DeVito
Posted at 10:14h, 15 JulyI am a simple person who loves her solid slacks and skirts with a bright and cheerful printed top. I love linen and cottons and have never been disappointed by the incredible “matching” service provided on the right banner of every fabric offering. I just choose a nice solid color bottom and then there is a long list of matching and coordinating fabrics for me to explore and choose from!! By far the BEST online shopping format and experience!!!!
Deborah Penner
Posted at 10:15h, 15 JulyLove to win the Hunter Green silk/rayon velvet. Made a dress years ago in a similar color and would love to make one again.
Catherine Stone
Posted at 10:20h, 15 JulyI would love some yards of Italian shades of purple floral cotton stretch twill. Thanks for the contest!
Melanie Leigh
Posted at 10:21h, 15 JulyWould love to try boiled wool knit fabric. Would be a lovely sweater.

Posted at 10:29h, 15 JulyI am fascinated with embroidered mesh. Now that I see a tutorial for it, I would not be afraid to try,,,

Posted at 10:30h, 15 JulyI just love linen ! So many beautiful linen fabrics !! Haven’t seen anything like it in Sweden 😍 I will save the site. Don’t know if they post to Sweden though…
But I must say 2 fabrics …
Fabric #61522 would be a lovely summer dress, and fabric #66005 too !

Thanks to Linda at Emma One Sock for tipping me off to the error. Linda is the BEST at customer relations. When I first saw this fabric is was sold out and didn’t look like more would be coming, but Linda did the extra legwork and in it came — I’m just deciding which pattern will best suit this glorious fabric. It is beyond beautiful.
Nelda Basenberg
Posted at 10:33h, 15 JulyI love the ladybugs on #65820 for a cute transitional shirt.
Diane Gozur Stanley
Posted at 10:40h, 15 JulyThe first fabric that grabbed my attention is the “painterly pink petals panel knit”. Wow what a beautiful website. Now I’m going back to shop😉
Nicki
Posted at 10:40h, 15 JulyI love this beautiful dress. I’m tempted now to find that dress pattern and your fabric choice is perfect. It looks gorgeous on you!
I find it really hard to choose just one favourite fabric from EmmaOneSock but if I had to, it is fabric #67510, Italian blue/turquoise seed stitch cotton sweater knit. I think it would make a beautiful cardigan.
Faith Daya
Posted at 10:40h, 15 JulyI had purchased a ruffled knit from Emma made a wonderful coverup
Kathy VanFossen
Posted at 10:42h, 15 JulySo many beautiful fabrics. My first time on their site. I’m a sucker for lime green, so I have to choose Monique Lhui11er floral guipure lace – spring green.
Jessica Hood
Posted at 10:42h, 15 JulyThis Italian wool stretch denim caught my eye! fabric #67383 I think I’m ready to start planning my fall and winter makes!
JoAnne Kristensen
Posted at 10:43h, 15 JulyLovely dress Sarah! You look cool and comfortable in the summer heat. I love EOS fabrics and they are always quality yardage. My absolute favorite are her 11 ounce rayon knits.
Joanne Burnett
Posted at 10:48h, 15 JulyChoosing just one is really hard,I’m going with #66280 celedon green textured rib linen/silk blend for wide leg pants .

Fabric #66866 is catching my eye right now!
Anne Rhodes
Posted at 11:08h, 15 JulyI really like the matte hybrid. It looks and drapes like 4-ply silk, and it washes beautifully. I love it for pants!
Lisa Marshall
Posted at 11:10h, 15 JulyThanks for sharing a wonderful resource. How could I have not known about such a place as EmmaOneSock! How can I choose just one type of fabric much less a specific fabric so my next project requires a sweater knit and I love the Italian ones like Italian blue/turquoise seed stitch cotton sweater knit
fabric #67510
contents: 100% cotton
Jean Kerr
Posted at 11:12h, 15 JulyIts hard to pick a favorite but since I was on the site last night and am thinking about the new Italian cotton sweater knit I will mention it. But like you, I love the cotton prints with spandex. Your new dress is lovely and now I want some of that fabric as well! Jean
Rosemary O'Koren
Posted at 11:20h, 15 JulyI love the elegance of elegant floral guipure lace – pink blush – Fabric #65527 – it will make a beautiful dress for a wedding.

Gerry Minick
Posted at 11:21h, 15 JulyHaving recently returned to my lifelong love of sewing, I am constantly delighted by the quality, choice and affordability of today’s fabrics. I’ve never worked with knits and find them intimidating, especially since I don’t own a serger. After cruising through the Emma One Sock website and viewing fabric #63750, I’m ready to take the leap! The step-by-step construction advice offered on the website is invaluable. I plan to use Butterick pattern 5948 view D (I’ve had this pattern since college!) to wear under a coordinating jacket and leggings for my trip to QuiltCon 2019. PS – given the easy care,affordability and cashmere-ish texture of this fabric, I’m thinking it might make a great throw to snuggle under while quilting and sewing in my brand new she-cave retreat (formerly a guest bedroom).

Posted at 11:27h, 15 JulyTo me, the most beautiful fabric would be “Garden Dream”. The colors are so fun and put a smile on my face. I think it would be a wonderful summer dress. It is truly my favorite of all she has offered right now.
Toni Morse
Posted at 11:31h, 15 JulyWow! What a great fabric site! Love the way it is organized and how thorough the descriptions are for each fabric. Also, how there are usage suggestions and coordinating fabric suggestions for each. Hard to pick just one but I’m drawn to the NY designer painterly floral cotton stretch woven # 66341 for a beautiful summer dress. I would love to win a gift certificate!
Thanks for sharing the site? I will be trying it out.
Cheryl Hernandez
Posted at 11:39h, 15 JulyI would choose ‘distressed-look floral’ digital print rayon/spandex knit. A maxi for the summer.

Valerie Strunk
Posted at 11:42h, 15 JulyI found Emma One Sock over a year ago & I am in love! It is so exciting to see the deliciousness that Linda posts each day! Linda’s site is easy to use. She sorts fabrics into categories & also by color. She lists coordinating fabrics, which is very helpful. The staff is knowledgeable & very helpful. They are quick to answer any questions. Samples are free. Sometimes I have to consider if a fabric will be popular, because some things sell out very quickly. The choices are amazing! My orders come quickly & very well packaged. I have ordered from other online stores, & sometimes my fabric is shipped unwrapped & tossed in a box. Not so with EOS. I love the tutorials! Emma One Sock also posts client “Makes” on Instagram & Facebook. I love seeing what others have done with their purchases. I cannot say enough about this online store. In my opinion, it is by far the best online fabric store – hands down! I would love the Alice & Olivia floral Metallic Brocade – #674567.

Posted at 11:52h, 15 JulyFor several years I have been in love with Linda’s 100% silk 4-ply crepe in carmine (a fabulous red)! I ordered a swatch and have it on my design board; it is gorgeous! Now my favorite grandniece is planning her wedding for January and I would be thrilled to make a beautiful dress to wear to the wedding. Keeping my fingers crossed!

The Guangdong Province mud silk in emerald is one of my favourites – Fabric #59985.
Kitty Staskelunas
Posted at 12:32h, 15 JulyIt’s a relief to hear I’m not the only one overwhelmed with all the new fabrics terms and blends available today! I decided last month to make my own cloths after a 30 year hiatus because every time I was at a boutique or store I found myself saying over and over…” I can make that…and for a lot less” For the past month I have read books and blogs, made muslins and a few items.
Ordering fabric online is a new and somewhat daunting experience, which I am still navigating.
Love looking at all the fabrics EmmaOneSock has to offer. I particularly love a pink and orange silk cotton voile #66542
Sandra Wiatrowski
Posted at 12:34h, 15 JulyFor late summer, I can think of nothing better than a peplum halter top made of EOS Isranbul flower fabric #52878! Loving your blog, btw. Very tasteful.

I’ve just finished reading Helena Attlee’s ‘The Land Where Lemons Grow’ and the descriptions of sun drenched, fragrant lemon groves in Italy make me want to visit this magical country so very much. Sadly, a visit to Italy is not within my reach but a couple of metres of lemon tree cotton/spandex sateen would mean I could make the most beautiful dress which would more than compensate for staying at home. My new dress and a few lemons in a bowl would make me more than happy.

Katharine Wright
Posted at 12:45h, 15 JulyHow do you decide what ONE fabric to choose from EOS. The choices are all wonderful and any of them would be great. I currently have Garden Dreams in my idea book but also a long list of other choices like wool crepe, boiled wool, and linen. I am gathering up confidence to attempt a linen knit. I have ordered from EOS (even though the border, customs and the exchange rate tends to add addition challenges) and the fabrics have been superb! My double faced wool in pink and black coat gets rave reviews when I wear it. Thanks EOS!

Posted at 12:48h, 15 JulyI’d love to make a loose summer dress with the floral linen watercolor border print! But really there is so much gorgeous fabric it’s hard to choose just one!
Marla Harrison
Posted at 12:48h, 15 JulyI would love the ‘The0ry silk chiffon – ‘checkered past’
Deon
Posted at 12:49h, 15 JulyGoodness, there are fabrics I’ve never seen on the site. Particularly the Dutch fabrics. I would choose one of the Dutch digital cotton/lycra (a blend, like you choose). Either the Asian-inspired panel or nocturnal rose. They’re lovely.
Cristina Pop
Posted at 12:51h, 15 JulyI love the digital print linnens, in particular the 100% linen digital print – aquaflora
It would make a beautiful summer dress
Judy Haley
Posted at 12:56h, 15 JulyI have been looking for the perfect fabric to make a lightweight jacket. In the new arrivals, this The0ry doubleface stretch coating jumped out at me. I love it, and it isi perfect! https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/67479?catId=130§Id=100

Posted at 13:11h, 15 JulyThe thermometer outside reads 90 degrees here in Chicago, but the Garden Floral Embroidered Sheer Mesh Poly Pink/Butter #65118 is instant air conditioning. Makes me feel cooler just looking at it.
Beverly Tengstrom

Patricia
Posted at 13:15h, 15 JulyI hate auto correct. It’s Emma not mama.
Christine Chin
Posted at 13:13h, 15 JulyEmma one sock introduced me to online fabric shopping too! Her descriptions are so on point, I can almost feel the fabric, and her swatching service is the best. I’m currently lusting over her blue and white striped linen shirting!
jean dahlgren
Posted at 13:17h, 15 JulyMy favorite Emma One Sock fabric would be the floral linen. Yummy
Valerie Carroll
Posted at 13:17h, 15 JulyI really liked the Italian blue/yellow seed stitch cotton sweater knit!
Lucy N
Posted at 13:19h, 15 JulyI just ordered from them for the first time. A gorgeous striped cotton knit. I can’t wait to see it. I think my next purchase will be done if their coordinating linen knits. And I love the fabric you picked as well. Thank you!
Lyn Marsteller
Posted at 13:20h, 15 JulyI’ve loved everything I’ve purchased from Emma One Sock over the years. I would love to work with the exquisite Dutch digital “painterly flowers 2” cotton Lycra knit panel! I’ve already envisioned the yellow sunflower in the center of my back for a dress cut cross-grain with the wavy stripes moving towards the hem. Luscious!
Karen T
Posted at 13:25h, 15 JulyOoh, I love EmmaOneSock’s jerseys and pontes… I’ve been debating getting some of this cadmium red rayon jersey for such a long time, I’d probably have to go with that: https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/47331?catId=206§Id=101
Colleen Bell
Posted at 13:26h, 15 JulyThank you so much for arranging this awesome giveaway. It is sooooo hard to choose just one – kind of like those chips! One of our daughters is getting married in October so I think that “reembroidered double scallop floral lace in the navy” https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/62117?catId=201§Id=104 would be stunning. Thank you for a new love.
Rose Mary Jameson
Posted at 13:33h, 15 JulyI love their fabrics! I have the digital Italian floral and after seeing your latest summer dress, I may change my pattern. Really like the Green leaves cotton spandex, perfect for summer!
Mickey Newman
Posted at 13:37h, 15 JulyI love the. Blue striped fabric with ladybugs made into a wrap dress.
Anne
Posted at 13:47h, 15 JulyThere are lots of lovely fabrics here and I agree that the descriptions are great. I’ve picked Guangdong Province mud silk in sapphire.
Btw – someone commented that Pantone colour numbers are not helpful and mentioned two paint brands whose paint charts she said were available to all sewers. I’ve never heard of these paint brands! I had just commented to my husband his great it was that the Pantone colours were listed.
Elena DeLoof
Posted at 13:48h, 15 JulyThe dusty teal/lilac 100% linen digital print is on my wishlist! The suggested coordinating fabrics are gorgeous too!

Jean OReilly
Posted at 13:51h, 15 JulySo many beautiful choices. I loved NY designer blue/white floral cotton stretch woven, fabric #66298 . Thanks!
CJ Males
Posted at 13:53h, 15 JulyI have had my eye on fabric #66308 – and seeing it on you confirms my decision! Blue with a splash of white is my all time favorite. I’ll take some of this please (and/or maybe something else 🙂 )
Susan Dana
Posted at 14:09h, 15 JulyHow could anyone not love “Swans in Tiaras?” All the Dutch digital prints are terrific!
Melissa
Posted at 14:09h, 15 JulyThe Valentino navy/lemon floral jacquard brocade is absolutely beautiful.
Ruth Bowler
Posted at 14:11h, 15 JulyThank you Sarah for bringing EOS to my attention. I have heard of other sewists order from there but the aspect of suggested complimentary fabrics to go with makes on line shopping a lot less stressful. Back to business I have been on the hunt for stretch denim and am anxious to try #46239- 4 way stretch Rayon blend Ponte black. This is affordable. What is not affordable is #67472- Jason Wu flowery blues stretch Jacquard Brocade. That is the fabric I would love to win!
cheri schwartz

Jacqueline Holstrom
Posted at 14:13h, 15 JulyI love EOS and doing business with Linda! My current fabric is an INCREDIBLE brocade, #67311! 🤞🤞🤞

Laura Albee
Posted at 14:30h, 15 JulyI’m rather partial to the lemon tree cotton/spandex sateen. It would make a cute skirt!

Posted at 15:04h, 15 JulyI would love #67433 border print knit to make a summer dress or #65116 to make a dress for me for my daughters wedding next May.
Karen Helm
Posted at 15:16h, 15 JulyI cannot agree more with all the accolades for EOS. Linda does an exceptional job with everything! One favorite fabric? I am totally taken with the Ladybug embroidered blue/white striped shirting. I can see my little granddaughters in dresses made out of this fabric (and maybe a fun shirt for myself, too!) Thanks, Sarah, for this opportunity! Love your new dress, too!
Tamara Kemp
Posted at 15:17h, 15 JulyI would love to make a winter jacket using NY designer fancy ribbon sparkle boucle. Thank you for all the inspiration 💞

Posted at 15:24h, 15 JulyI can warn you that checking the daily update from EOS is addictive!! I want the Theory red stretch woven and found a vIntage pattern that would be a perfect match.
TracyK
Posted at 15:26h, 15 JulyIt’s difficult to choose; there are so many beautiful fabrics on the site! I really like #65830, a ‘Chanel tweed’, #66298, a blue and white floral stretch cotton, and #64922, an Italian jacquard floral brocade. I am sure I could find one or two others too!
Rene Burgess Bolton
Posted at 15:26h, 15 JulyI love Feathery Montage! I would make myself a dress from this fabric!
Joy
Posted at 15:37h, 15 JulyThank you, EmmaOneSock!
I LOVE the stable, abstract digital knits of mutli colored splashes, especially like this, which sends me into
the vapors. Hunting for similar in the states like a madwoman.

Gail Foglietta
Posted at 15:50h, 15 JulyI love this website!
The fabric that caught my attention the most is called “all that jazz”; it is a cotton lycra material. I can see lots of fun possibilities from this!
Sonja Barber

Cherie
Posted at 16:06h, 15 JulyI’ve never bought from emmaonesock before, although I had a sewing teacher who recommended this website. Only because I didn’t think I had the sewing expertise to use her fabric. After making a fully lined dress, it gave me some confidence. Funny thing, last night I was looking at her website and looking at some lovely tweeds and wools for a pattern I’m working on. Then today I see this contest. Thank you!
Karen Dolen
Posted at 16:08h, 15 JulyI’ve been trying to add more fun colors to my wardrobe. I think the “painer”s palette” digital print rayon/spandex knit – just might do it! Plus it would look great with the new burnt orange coat I am making for fall. I’ve had great success ordering from EmmaoneSock – always excellent quality and packaged so carefully 😊
Thanks for the contest.
Margaret Winters
Posted at 16:10h, 15 JulyI love Emma ONe Sock, and love this fabric https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/67011?catId=201§Id=104

Sheila Moller
Posted at 16:11h, 15 JulySo glad you featured Emma One Sock. I’m considering some of their Giza cotton for a new shirt. Love your explanation of how to use the Pantone color #. Thanks for all you do for this blog. The RTW fast has been such a joyous trip for me. It has really changed my approach to buying RTW, haven’t bought any this year, but also has help me find the crank for turning out self-sewn items at a reasonable pace. And also, am liking what I make to boot. Thanks a bunch.
Kathy McKenna
Posted at 16:12h, 15 JulyI love EmmaOneSock’s’ site. No other site does such a good job of showing what the fabric really looks like, suggesting coordinating fabrics and the best use for the fabric. Their free swatch service is remarkable too, and their service is terrific. I have had my eye on #66961, the Italian cotton blue seed stitch sweater knit. It would make a versatile cardigan jacket!
Jennifer lee
Posted at 16:20h, 15 JulyI love their rpl gabardine!
Patti
Posted at 16:29h, 15 JulySuch wonderful fabrics! I love the one you chose. If I won, I would order the NY designer rorschach print rain/jacketwear because it is so unique!
Kris Osmun
Posted at 16:36h, 15 JulyMy current favorite is the Chanel tweed sparkly boucle (65830) that I recently received. It is wonderful! My current favorite fabric that I don’t have yet? That is a closely guarded secret because stuff sells out quickly!
Angela Wilson
Posted at 16:39h, 15 JulyAhhh……I love the The0ry viscose double mesh in pink rose and the Alice+Olivia cascading roses stretch jacquard brocade😍
Dianne Gaines
Posted at 16:42h, 15 JulyOh my, how to choose!! After going back and forth, and around and around, I have settled on the 100% wool crepe in Eggplant!! You are such an inspiration to me in my return to making garments after about 20+ years off. I so love your attention to detail on the inside as well as the out. Thank you, and thanks also to EOS for the giveaway!!
Anne Cotellessa
Posted at 16:43h, 15 JulyThank you, Goodbye Valentino & EmmaOneSock for this opportunity. I, too, have never been disappointed with EmmaOneSock- the greatest challenge is making a decision! Taking a look today, one fabric that caught my eye was #66490, a lovely silk charmeuse.
Patty Burlingame
Posted at 16:45h, 15 JulyI am a big fan of the linen knit and the Dutch Digital cotton. I’ve been ordering from EmmaOneSock since the beginning, Linda is a treasure! Right now I’m eyeing that red dragon Dutch Digital.
If I’m getting dressed, it probably involves an EOS fabric item! Great service, low cost shipping too.
Lori Forester
Posted at 16:45h, 15 JulyDutch digital knit painted roses. It is an amazing fabric.
Leigh Wheeler
Posted at 16:49h, 15 JulyGarden Dream fabric #67011, and I do love anything linen., and there’s a white stretch denim that wants to be a skirt for me.
Kelly Carrington
Posted at 16:50h, 15 JulyI’ve not ordered from this company yet, but just browsed through some lovely choices. #67385 is a beautiful linen floral with a border. How do you choose just one?!?! Your dress is beautiful, by the way!
Sandra Gallant
Posted at 16:57h, 15 JulyI love the Italian water-resistant faux leather – blue night. It is gorgeous. Love that so much information is presented for every fabric, especially the coordinating recommendations! Thanks for sharing!
Melissa LaPointe
Posted at 17:02h, 15 JulyI am new to EmmaOneSock. I ordered a number of samples today for Vogue pattern 1208. I ordered 100%silk stretch charmeuse in cranberry, hibiscus and emerald. I also ordered samples of crepe matte hybrid in red and black. This will be a dress I will wear during the holiday season.
Beverly Doeschot
Posted at 17:08h, 15 JulySo many beautiful choices! Here’s one awesome fabric perfect for a dress to wear to a neighbor’s wedding. Dutch flowery clusters knit.
Paceda Petrone
Posted at 17:08h, 15 JulyI love Emma One Sock. So hard to choose just one fabric! I’m going for a ldovely floral Guipure lace, #66746, in a nice shade of rose.
Ruth Poupon
Posted at 17:12h, 15 JulyI love so many EOS fabrics but this https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/59924?catId=13§Id=101 Porcelain blue flowers is my current favorite.
Sharon kane

Rita
Posted at 17:38h, 15 JulyI would like to get #67109, from Theory. I think a reversible coat would be beautiful.

Thanks for your giveaways!
Khristina Fuller
Posted at 18:23h, 15 JulyI love the Italian cotton lightweight woven – ‘volary voile’. The birds are so cute and the colors are lovely.
Rebecca Howard
Posted at 18:42h, 15 JulyOh my goodness. So many people love Emma One Sock. I love the website. It’s easy to find exactly what you need and I am loving the recent update. My current fave is fabric #63720 – the watercolour ponte. It will go perfectly with a particularly tricky navy ponte dress that needs a jacket to wear over. Your makes are always inspiring Sarah – thank goodness for zoom in function of my iPad. They get a very close inspection (hope that doesn’t sound creepy!).
Mary B.
Posted at 19:00h, 15 JulyThank you, EmmaOneSock, for this fun gift certificate giveaway event! I actually found my favorite in the roll ends section. It is the NY designer fancy ribbon sparkle boucle’ fabric. Love it, love it, love it. Given the opportunity to combine the boucle’ with another fabric from EOS (plus leather?) would make a fun garment to sew. It was also fun perusing fabrics and dreaming up new projects, EOS is on my fave list of on-line fabric shops. And, Goodbye Valentino, I love your inspirational blog. This dress is on my to-do list before the warm weather goes away!

Posted at 19:37h, 15 JulyI like the stretch cotton blend denim in brilliant blue.
Austragirl
Posted at 19:42h, 15 JulyI’d like length of fabric #38221 4-way stretch rayon blend ponte – black. I’m doing a pants block class next month and I have a real need to make some some pants that fit. Linda has the best ponte around.
Beth Brewer
Posted at 19:49h, 15 JulyI like the digital prints. I’d take the one called “flower show” and make a dress to dance in.

Melissa Archer
Posted at 19:58h, 15 JulyAs a fan of other-than-blue jeans I just love the ‘casual chic’ light taupe stretch denim! This was my first visit to EmmaOneSock and I was pleasantly surprised by the range of quality basics like this on offer. I’m sure to be back.
Sofia Galicia
Posted at 20:00h, 15 JulyI love the ‘Carmen’ red floral jacquard brocade
Even though I’m not a fan of polyester, this fabric is gorgeous. It has texture, delicate shine and the design is sober and elegant.
I would like to buy all the emmaonesock fabrics. As Linda herself says of her online store, it is addictive, and I am a great addict to her beautiful fabrics and her great service
Wendy Huss

What a beautiful spring dress it would make.
Gerhild Turner
Posted at 20:17h, 15 JulyYour dress looks beautiful. I read some of the comments and I have to agree, how can you select one favorite from EmmaOneSock. They are so beautiful. I teach sewing at my local community college and EmmaOneSock is one of the online fabric resources I recommend to my students. Here are two of my favorites: #67473 Alice &OliviaSatin flower swirl rayon/silk burnout and #67378 Provence floral drapes viscose woven.
Ruth Lutz
Posted at 20:42h, 15 JulyAnother lovely dress – great blue and white print! Emma One Sock has such an incredible selection of beautiful fabrics. I especially love their linen knits and the beautiful Dutch printed knits.
Beth
Posted at 20:47h, 15 JulyI’m loving the viscose/wool boucle knit suiting in plum.
Diane McLean
Posted at 20:49h, 15 JulyI am a big EmmaOneSock fan and enjoy all the fabrics I have purchased. However, my current favorite is a linen fabric (#59924) which is a “shades of blue” print. It washed well. It wasn’t full of wrinkles prior to cutting it, doesn’t wrinkle badly when wearing it, and feels soooo good!
Kay
Posted at 20:53h, 15 JulyLove the nocturnal floral Ponte.
karen suber
Posted at 20:54h, 15 JulyI would choose the Dutch digital ‘asian-inspired’ cotton/lycra panel knit fabric #66243 on the Emma One Stock site. Its beautiflul
Lori Hiner
Posted at 20:58h, 15 JulyWow there was so many beautiful fabrics to choose from. I was overwhelmed. I only dream of such pretty fabrics. It was hard to narrow it down to just one. I think a lovely maxi dress in the ” painted flowers ” would look lovely. Not sure if I could pull off a maxi being so short under 5′.lol
Daryl 'Deedee' Reese
Posted at 20:59h, 15 JulyI found a cute Ladybug embroidered stripe cotton ‘ladybug embroidered blue/white stripe shirting’ that looks like it would be a good choice for me to make just about anything. Your dress is lovely and the material you picked worked well for you.
Cathy Landis
Posted at 21:02h, 15 JulyOh my gosh!! How does one pick only one fabric? So many beautiful choices on the website and so many more chosen here!! I bought the embroidered mesh #60475 after seeing the dress by Kathryn Brenne and the top worn by Jenny at Cashmerette – maybe more of this? Or maybe linen? Or wool? My head is exploding!!!!
KAREN RENSTROM
Posted at 21:08h, 15 JulyItalian mallard/teal/white floral cotton stretch twill is absolutely gorgeous. Would love to turn it into a summer sheath! A little pricey for me but with a gift certificate I’d be set!
Angela
Posted at 01:45h, 16 JulyThat fabric is beautiful!
Julie LaMere
Posted at 21:28h, 15 JulyI’ve been obsessed with the “summery floral embroidered sheer mesh – black” for awhile. I want to make a dress like the one shown with the fabric. Or maybe a shirt from “swans in tiaras”. Both so fun!
Carrie Cooper
Posted at 21:38h, 15 JulyAnything with spandex is great! Looking to try Colton twill ankle pants! Thank you for the blog and contest opportunity.
Corinne Shoulders
Posted at 21:42h, 15 JulyAlmost impossible to pick just one but I love the Black and White Dashy Stretch Silk.
Debbie
Posted at 21:43h, 15 JulyLove following your blog, Sarah, and everything I have ordered from EOS, has been absolutely beautiful, her fabrics are gorgeous. In looking at what is available today, my choice would be #64969, the Italian Floral Garland Border cotton, stretch woven. So pretty!
Susannah H.
Posted at 21:52h, 15 JulyI love so many fabrics at EOS. Right now the #67383 The0ry Italian gray wool blend stretch denim looks really interesting as I’m starting to think about fall sewing. Thank you so much for your blog and the chance to win anything from this gorgeous store 🙂
Lorinda Prociuk
Posted at 21:53h, 15 JulyThe A1ice & O1ivia satin flower swirl rayon/silk burnout is exquisite. I would live to make something with it. EOS has the best fabrics..
Liz
Posted at 22:23h, 15 JulyWell, that was a rabbit hole! Lucky for me, I’m now obsessed with 66453, navy crushed jacquard!
Carolyn Floyd
Posted at 22:31h, 15 JulyFirst I liked the Dutch digital knit #65133, then the cross woven linen #65623 for a sheath dress or skirt and light jacket to go with it or the Dutch as a Tee or a topper/cardigan to go with the linen. Then I found #48778, then #67177, then sweater knit #53592, then, then and oh dear, my list got really long. Too many I can’t sew that fast. I have always enjoyed this site for fabrics and the tutorials. Thanks for the opportunity to look again at the fabrics.
JILL KAWALA
Posted at 22:35h, 15 JulyThe viscose bucle in plum. I don’t have nearly enough purple shades in my closet!
Julie Jacovec
Posted at 22:36h, 15 JulyI love the “Italian wool blend jacquard dot stretch suiting” fabric. The subtle pattern would be great for a nice pair of work trousers.
Sue Bogue
Posted at 22:39h, 15 JulyLooks good! My favorite EmmaOneSock is #67401, Faded Scroll Print Stretch denim. Sue Bogue

Whitney McKim
Posted at 23:02h, 15 JulyOh man, just one?! I’m thinking towards my fall sewing plans so all the sweater knits, please! I’m especially fond of this one: https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/66961?catId=36§Id=101
cheryl e eliason
Posted at 23:10h, 15 Julythe shades of gray guipure lace has been on my list – even though I have an embarrassing number of ’emma’ purchases in my stash already! Linda has amazing taste and impeccable service – she is my go-to online fabric source!
Colleen Cornips
Posted at 23:33h, 15 JulyI always hear such great things about Emma One Sock. I really love the NY designer teal with shapes silk charmeuse. Teal is one of my favourite colours. Thanks Sarah and Emma One Sock for providing this opportunity.
Kim Barbaro
Posted at 23:34h, 15 JulyI really love the Theory hammered textured silk/wool suiting. I have a great vogue pattern (Vogue 9282) for wide leg pants that I made for spring–but would like to make for winter.
Carol Cochran
Posted at 23:39h, 15 JulySo hard to pick which one – I love Linda’s selection and I have been on a “fabric diet” so there are plenty I would love to have. I think I would go with “4-way stretch rayon blend ponte – denim”, so I can try the Jalie eleanor jeans pattern.
Make it Any Wear
Posted at 23:39h, 15 JulyI could pick a couple of dozen or so, and do love your dress fabric, but today i’ll say:
Jas0n Wu flowery blues stretch jacquard brocade.
i have used other Jason Wu fabrics and they are wonderful and i one Emma Onesock;
Maaike
Posted at 23:52h, 15 JulyI’m always so glad to hear when someone gives a strong recommendation for an online business – and Emma Onesock has lovely selections! I’m picking the Dutch digital ‘hidden fauna’ cotton/lycra panel knit.
Sharon Waldrogel-Thurlow
Posted at 00:01h, 16 JulyI love all of Linda’s fabrics and her website is the best, giving you a good idea of colour, drape,and matching fabrics. I’d love to make something from ideaYiga1 Azroue1 poly pleated woodcut graphic. So modern!!
Sylvia Long
Posted at 00:30h, 16 JulyI love Emma One Sock’s selection! I really like spring flowers on black drapey viscose woven. It matches all of the skirts and pants I made for summer. Thanks for the draw!
Barbara Kane
Posted at 01:00h, 16 JulySo many choices but color and texture won for me.
My favorite was Fabric 66961 an Italian blue/yellow seed stitch cotton sweater knit. Good luck to the eventual winner.

Posted at 01:26h, 16 JulyI’m a sucker for linen knits. I’d probably buy it in almost every color if I could 😀
Angela
Posted at 01:29h, 16 JulyOh, so many lovely options! I love the mosaic scroll ponte, the wine wool crepe is divine, and the mulberry jersey looks so comfy and pretty.
Monica Ptasinski
Posted at 01:34h, 16 JulyItalian shades of purple floral cotton stretch twill is a beautiful fabric. I plan on ordering and hope it is available at the end of the month. I know it isn’t a fashion fabric but I regularly purchase the Venezia four way jersey lining. I love this lining for so many uses. It is on my list to purchase again soon.
Vera Swanson
Posted at 01:44h, 16 JulyWhat a fabulous giveaway! I love everything about EOS, from the easy-to-use website to its gorgeous fabrics and impeccable customer service. I especially love the suggested companion fabrics to the main one as it gives me much better idea if that color will work.
I would select the viscose / wool boucle in mulberry. I’ve had my eye on that one for a long while and know I’ll eventually cave!
Thanks for a great post.
Amanda
Posted at 02:15h, 16 JulyEmmaonesock has so many fabrics to choose from, but #64783 poly/nylon/viscose brown orange an cream is lovely. I bought some to make a shirt and didn’t purchase enough! I would love to purchase more!

Colleen McNamara
Posted at 03:47h, 16 JulyI love Emma OneSock! The customer service is indeed second to none, and I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve bought.
Right now, I”m tempted by the Theory Textured Wool Suiting in Ivory, which would make a beautiful jacket.

Donna Kaufman
Posted at 08:34h, 16 JulyHello Sarah,
What a wonderful giveaway! I returned to sewing several years back and since then have been making more and more of my own clothes. So many of the garments in stores are ill fitting or if reasonably priced, not the best quality. Enter Linda Podietz and Emmaonesock: So many top quality fabrics that it’s hard to choose. I found her by chance online and now not only purchase almost all of my fabrics from her, but I make almost all my clothes. Quality and service can’t be beat. Many times I have seen a fabric type that I have never sewn but the design is so pretty that I must have it – so I have also expanded my sewing style. And, Linda is a really nice person. I really like summery floral embroidered sheer mesh – white #59889. I have never sewn with such a sheer fabric but it’s so beautiful that I would find something to sew that I can’t live without!
Thank you for sponsoring!
Amy Neuenschwander
Posted at 08:39h, 16 JulyI can imagine a beautiful dress…with Dutch digital ‘hidden fauna’ cotton/lycra panel knit on the bottom, and ochre 11 oz. rayon jersey 4-way as the blouse! Exquisite!!!
Christine Taylor
Posted at 09:01h, 16 JulyOne of my many choices would be ~The Italian sparkly flowers over-printed jacquard. – sky/pink #65228 and I also like this cotton elastene fabric too. Thank you for the chance of receiving a wonderful gift from EmmaOneSock.
Cindy Flagg
Posted at 09:01h, 16 JulyI adore Emmaonesock’s fabric! My favorite is the versatile 14 oz rayon/lycra jersey followed by 11 oz. I’m drawn to prints but always find I wear the solids in my wardrobe the most. These rayon/lycra fabrics make terrific tops that I can wear year round.
Lisa Algiere
Posted at 09:19h, 16 JulyI love the cotton/spandex fabrics. Perfect for summer tops.
Anne Johnson

Adecia Walker
Posted at 09:50h, 16 JulyThis is my first time looking at the EOS website. So many beautiful fabrics to choose from! Since I love blues, the one you chose is perfect and has stretch -almost a requirement these days. I also liked the faded scroll printed stretch denim.

Tina Spear
Posted at 11:07h, 16 JulyYou’re right about Emma One Sock being a great online fabric source. I have ordered from them and, like you, have been very pleased. I am wanting to add some wool crepe and silk fabrics to my stash. Every winter I keep looking at the wool crepe for pants and skirts but haven’t taken the plunge yet. Maybe this will be my lucky opportunity. Thanks for patterning with EOS for this giveaway!
Tina Spear

Christine Rittmann
Posted at 11:24h, 16 JulyI really like ladybug embroidered blue/white stripe shirting. I have never bought any fabric from emmaonesock,, but after having been led to the website by Goodbye Valentino, I will definitely be ordering some. I love that most come in wider widths.

Posted at 12:44h, 16 JulyThis was a dangerous suggestion. How can one make up their mind from a fabulous selection of Emma One Stock fabrics…so here’s a start…would love this fabric: Dutch digital ‘swans in tiaras’ cotton/lycra knit
Jin Thendal
Posted at 12:53h, 16 JulyI’m on the Emma One Stock fabrics and can’t peel myself away, found another one I love,

Kathleen M Smith
Posted at 13:16h, 16 JulyI love Emma One Sock. Everything is beautiful I love the color coordination of the fabrics, suggestions for color matching and the new format is really great too. I love the silks in all the colors especially the stretch charmeuse.
Jacquelene Parrales
Posted at 13:54h, 16 JulyIt’s impossible to oick one favorite…I am favoring blues and yellows right now so I would love it when the Egyptian french blue cotton is back. Wouldn’t it make a great shirt dress. I fell in love with the superfine french blue wool crepe and the Fancy Ribbon blue sparkle boucle. For yellow the curry gabardine and I would love to try the hi texh stretch crepe in canary and periwinkle. Wow so much eye candy!
Joy
Posted at 14:20h, 16 JulyThank you, EmmaOneSock. You find the most wonderful and unusual fabrics!
Since we can’t feel the fabric for ourselves as we love to do, there isn’t a fabric
site out there that provides such complete composition, weight, color and drape descriptions anywhere. They’re the absolute best.
I love the abstract, colorful digital prints .. I swoon over this I found on a sewists’s and
am hunting down similar in the States, so I’ll keep checking EmmaOneSock.
Thank you, Sarah. Keep inspiring.
Joy
Posted at 14:23h, 16 JulyOOOps .. forgot the delicious fabric.

Posted at 14:43h, 16 JulyWhat an awesome giveaway–thanks for the opportunity. I have ordered from EmmaOneSock several years ago and I agree-her fabrics are fantastic, never disappoint. The one that stood out to me was the Italian spice/turquioise abstract silk satin chiffon( # 67306)–so eye catching!
Thanks for all your posts–keeps me inspired!
Marjorie Graham
Posted at 15:39h, 16 JulyEasily my favorite online fabric seller. Have been ordering from Linda since 2006, and have always found her descriptions and information to be the most accurate. Right now I’ve got a whole set of cream/neutrals from her that need sewing up. So I would add the Japanese cotton voile – antique ivory to the mix. Thank you for the opportunity to win something from my favorite, and I’m sure the exposure will benefit EOS.

Posted at 16:31h, 16 JulyWould like the Bengaline dobby vertical stretch – b;lack graphic (https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics?catId=24§Id=103) to make the princess seam jacket Vogue 1537 (without pockets). Going to an October wedding in Boston. Ceremony outdoors. Jacket would be the perfect pairing with a simple black dress.
Ann
Posted at 17:52h, 16 JulyAnything and everything from EmmaOneSock! Love the fabrics, just hesitant to purchase on-line without the “feel or touch” of a sample. Seeing others success inspires me!
Becky Smith
Posted at 18:24h, 16 JulyLove the ladybug shirting fabric #65820. Thanks for the heads up on this site. I will return. Becky Smith
Jennifer Marie Shaw
Posted at 18:37h, 16 JulyShe has so many amazing fabric choices!! I have been buying from her since she started her online shop. I still remember one of my all time favorite sleeveless tops was one of her aqua rayon knits. Her selection of linens is remarkable! One of my friends ( Leah D.) and I call each other and have long conversations about the selections she maintains on the site. Then we go off on a tangent and go onto many different pattern sites to decide which EOS fabric would make the best version of a particular pattern design!
Carol Smith
Posted at 18:40h, 16 JulySuch a beautiful site! I couldn’t pick just one!
So decided on Fabric # 66308 and #54743.
I love knits and wovens with a little stretch, so both of these are perfect!
Thanks for directing us to this online store!
Cathy McAuliffe
Posted at 19:00h, 16 JulyThat was a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole filled with so many beautiful possibilities.. I’d love a summer dress made out of https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/66298?catId=82§Id=101 would make. Or a tee made out of the hemp/organic cotton https://www.emmaonesock.com/fabrics/59942?catId=219§Id=101. .
Kathy Hills
Posted at 19:20h, 16 JulyThe one that caught my eye is an Italian mallard/white/teal cotton floral stretch twill (#65582). I could make another Jalie Eleonore jeans with it.
I would love to win and be able to use the credit toward this fabric and other equally beautiful fabrics.
Brenda Radford
Posted at 19:40h, 16 JulyLove the NY designer blue/white floral stretch woven 66298, would love to mame a dress with this beautiful fabric!
Arly Corr
Posted at 19:53h, 16 JulyLove this linen print:

width: 54″
42″ repeat
This cotton/spandex sateen is a fav as well –
fabric #60165
contents: 97cotton/3spandex
width: 57″
The first time I bought from EOS I was so impressed with their customer service and how they packed the fabric. She really has a great variety of fabric selection.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Alli
Posted at 20:28h, 16 JulyI would enjoy one of her cross-dyed linens!
Carol Godsave
Posted at 20:45h, 16 JulyThank you for demonstrating the magic of cotton/lycra. My choose is:
fabric #67426
contents: 97cotton/3spandex
width: 57″
Great fun!
Michelle McGough
Posted at 21:00h, 16 JulyEasy. The digitized linen brushstroke print. I’ve been in love with that fabric for over a year and been eyeing it for my first project back into sewing after a 7 year hiatus (was traveling for business). I’ll get back to sewing, $100 gift or not, but that fabric sure would be a motivator.
Elizabeth NELL White
Posted at 21:23h, 16 JulyItalian ‘poly-silk’ twill – stylized floral on black
Would make the most dreamy myosotis dress!

Lori Tushner

Lisa Lacy
Posted at 23:18h, 16 JulyRight there with you on the stretch cotton!
Lauren Loughlin
Posted at 23:54h, 16 JulyI like the fabric called Garden Dream, #67011. I don’t think I actually know what a rayon/spandex fabric feels like. The second you posted, I saw it and liked it. I’m not missing not buying any RTW because the endless fabric choices are more than enough to keep my planning a beautiful wardrobe.
Mary Rames
Posted at 00:24h, 17 JulyImagine my excitement when I saw your post about this $100.00 Emma One Sock fabric prize! I purchased my first EOS fabric in ply knit. It came beautifully packaged with a lot of love and care. And the fabric was so unique, high quality and absolutely beautiful! I still wear that dress every Spring and Summer and it looks as great as the day I finished it! Truly a testament to the high quality of fabrics that Linda hand selects. About 1/2 of the fabrics in my stash are from Emma One Sock! As others have said who shop this online store, it’s just about impossible to choose only one fabric! So here’s my pick for this time: #67385 100% Linen Digital Print watercolor border floral!
A huge thank you to Linda for supporting all of us RTW Fasters! And thank you Sarah for your continued encouragement and making this group fun and exciting! 😊
Mary Rames
Posted at 00:32h, 17 JulyJust a little amendment to my original post: apparently one of the sentences was deleted…not sure how that happened…so sorry. To fill in…I purchased my very first fabric from Emma One Sock in December 2012; a beautiful and very unique Chagall 2-ply knit.
Thank you!
Janet c
Posted at 03:51h, 17 JulyOh my. Talk about being a kid in a candy store. The Chanel coral tweed was beautiful and I have just the pattern ready to sew. Thank you for the opportunity to win! Janet
Michelle Ranson
Posted at 03:53h, 17 JulyThe most gorgeous, high-quality fabrics I have ever purchased have come from EmmaOneSock; this is my all-time, very favourite place to spend my money! And nothing makes me happier than when the postman delivers my EOS order — oh, to carefully open the box, and then to unwrap each carefully folded, tissue-lined length of gloriously exquisite, stunningly unique, OH-MY-goodness-it’s-even-lovelier-and-more-luxurious-than-I-ever-could-have-imagined fabric! My current favourite? — it’s so hard to choose! But I think I would most lOVE TO WRAP MYSELF in the “lush rayon/silk velvet” selection, and though all of the available colour options are gorgeous, at the moment, I would choose the “ballet pink” colour way ! Find it by searching EOS Fabric #63413; it is 54″ wide and priced at $30.00/yard.
Meg Kundert
Posted at 06:25h, 17 JulyOh always hard to pick a favorite. I’ve got a spring bouquet faux wool/silk in my cart right now. Just need to pull the trigger before it disappears.
EOS is in classy site. I’d say I buy 80% if my fabric from them and I am rarely disappointed. I like the way they select coordinating fabrics.
Cindy Vance
Posted at 06:45h, 17 JulyThe 100% wool crepe in teal is gorgeous. I would love to make several things out of it.
Nova
Posted at 07:27h, 17 JulyI have never been able to pick just one favourite, especially from EOS! Would saying any of her silk fabrics count as ‘one’? (It is, after all, just one fibre involved)!
Katrena Smith
Posted at 08:10h, 17 JulyI really love the Italian rayon blend ponte – denim micro stripe. It is so hard to find a good stripe fabric, and this one is beautiful
Janine Warmuth
Posted at 08:59h, 17 JulyDear Sarah,
thank you so much for your post and insight re fabric composition. I feel I am still stuck to the stereotypical thinking “linen, cotton, etc.” is heaven, and poly-xxx has to be avoided at all costs. However, I only recently learnt that viscose isn’t that bad at all, and I am sewing more and more with organic materials, and woven hemp fabric – so, so soft!
Also only recently have I discovered the EOS website, being on the lookout for really good silk jersey (as in DVF dresses ten years ago). Sadly, I came too late when there wasn’t enough silk jersey fabric left. But I am constantly searching the site for new silk jerseys…;-) Apart from that, I do like the “Australian wool and silk sharkskin suiting – sapphire (fabric #51181) very much. Would make the perfect dress for work, and with the gift certificate… even better. 🙂
Thank you for your blog, I always enjoy reading (and re-reading, especially how you made Vogue 8379. Impeccable work!)
Keep on fasting, xx
Andrea Hammer
Posted at 09:59h, 17 JulyI love the medallion scroll ponte.. Beautiful fabrics!
Peggy
Posted at 11:28h, 17 JulyThere are loads of fabrics I love on the Emma One Sock website! I particularly like ‘French tweed’ viscose blend boucle’ in amethyst.
Kai
Posted at 13:13h, 17 JulyEmma One Sock is a wonderful resource for sewers! I just received my first order, and was so pleased with the customer service, the fabric quality, and the care with packaging.
I also ordered several swatches (free!), but am having trouble deciding which additional fabrics I have to have right now.
The viscose/wool boucle knit suiting is very nice…
P.S. I love the sewing tutorials as well !
Shelby Smarte
Posted at 15:50h, 17 JulyEmmaonesock has a fabulous site and she is always willing to help you with finding just the perfect piece for what you have in mind.
I’m very intrigued by the Chinese Mud Silk fabric and would love to try making something special, but very wearable with this fabric. I hope I win so I can take that opportunity!
Thanks Sarah and Linda for your support of our fabric love.
Joyce Stevens
Posted at 16:33h, 17 JulyCurrently, my favorite fabric is the Fabric #67507 Italian Cobalt/Black/white yarn dye stripe doubleknit. I would love to make a garment from this fabric.
Sarah Entsminger
Posted at 16:53h, 17 JulyOh my goodness, some lovelies on their website! I have never head of cross dye linen before, but those are beautiful colors and I would like to make a simple summer dress from that fabric.
Ginger
Posted at 19:33h, 17 JulyI love the Dutch digital nocturnal rose border print.. I enjoy playing with border prints especially in dresses and tunics.
Rebecca Alzofon
Posted at 19:44h, 17 JulyIt feels impossible to choose… I’m a frequent and always happy shopper at EmmaOneSock. Right now, I love the decorative floral paisley drapey 100% viscose woven, fabric #63525, width: 55″
In a half hour, it will be another, and then another, and so on and so forth!
Heather Pressley
Posted at 21:41h, 17 JulyI love all of the guipure lace options on the website but my eye is fixed on the pink blush guipure lace. There are so many beautiful fabrics on the website it’s hard to choose just one!
Rita Johnson
Posted at 22:32h, 17 JulyIs it too late to enter? Love the fabric!
Karen Easterbrook
Posted at 00:59h, 18 Julywould love to win this contest and would select the lovely…Italian digital layered floral
viscose/spandex knit for my next project!
Sofie Mitropoulos
Posted at 04:38h, 18 JulyI’m wanting to make a maxi dress and the ‘garden dream’ digital print rayon/spandex knit would be perfect. Saw a few other things I’d like too. So pretty.
Lucinda Howe
Posted at 08:35h, 18 JulyI’m usually drawn to the black and white designs. My favorite at the moment is NY designer black/white paint splash yarn-dye doubleknit. Also, the Swans in Tiaras are a lot of fun.
Catherine Fowler
Posted at 08:43h, 18 Julyso many to choose from but love the Red Poppies cotton/ spandex sateen
Linda LaMona
Posted at 09:30h, 18 JulyI love EOS fabrics. Great customer service, great packing and shipping is quick.
There are so many to choose from but the Dutch digital ‘swans in tiaras’ cotton/lycra knit would be my first choice. I love this whimsical fabric.
Odette Eksteen
Posted at 10:17h, 18 JulySo difficult to choose – I love the Dutch digital ‘pink roses’ cotton/lycra knit. 🙂
Odette Eksteen
Posted at 10:20h, 18 JulyWait! I saw another great fabric – the stunning ‘Chanel tweed’ sparkly boucle’ – in pink/coral!! Would looks great as a Chanel type jacket!!
Jamie Evans
Posted at 10:47h, 18 JulyI fell in love with the “Garden Dream” fabric!
Patsy Byers
Posted at 12:20h, 18 JulyMany thanks! Here’s my favorite: ‘painter’s palette’ digital print rayon/spandex knit, although I could “stretch” the $100 with some rayon-nylon ponte.
SANDRA L ELLISON
Posted at 12:30h, 18 JulyThanks so much for the EOS recommendation. Amazing selection!
I’d go for the dotted double gauze for a light and airy summer top.
Ann Danowsky
Posted at 15:16h, 10 JulyThanks for letting us know about this great fabric source! I love the Insectarium printed cotton shirting.
