#VintagePledge: July Schedule, Discounts & Giveaways

posted by Marie on Wednesday, July 01, 2015 40 comments

It's the first of the month and this can only mean one thing in #vintagepledge land...generous discounts and giveaways of course! But first, let's take a look at what posts are coming up in July.

July Schedule

Tuesday 14 July - 1960s Inspiration on A Stitching Odyssey

Monday 20 July - Stash Interview with The Vintage Knitter on Kestrel Makes

Friday 31 July - Monthly Roundup on A Stitching Odyssey

July Sponsor - Abakhan


This month we have not one, but two fabulous sponsors! First up Abakhan is offering a 20% discount to UK readers from Monday 6 July (international shipping isn't available). To claim your discount just enter the Coupon Code 'vintagepledge' into your shopping basket before proceeding to checkout.

Abakhan is also giving away 2 metres of any chosen fabric to one lucky reader and £25 worth of fabric to another lucky reader (both open internationally)! To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below with your email address and what fabric you would chose if you won either of the prizes. Make sure you enter the giveaway by  midnight GMT on Wednesday 29 July.


If I could enter the giveaway I'd be seriously tempted by Red Chevron Cotton Lawn, Pink Dogtooth Ponte Roma, Brushed Tartan Twill Stamford and Blue Jacquard Denim.

July Sponsor - The Village Haberdashery


Our second generous sponsor for the month is The Village Haberdashery, offering 10% off everything throughout July. To claim your discount just enter 'VINTAGEPLEDGE10' at the checkout. 


I don't know about you, but I have my eye on quite a few things including Coral Pineapples Cotton Lawn, Cacti Quilting Cotton, Chambray Jacquard and Ephemera Double Gauze. 


I hope you'll take full advantage of our awesome offers this month! You can also check out a roundup of June's #vintagepledge shenanigans over at Kestrel Makes and don't forget to browse the dedicated Pinterest Board for plenty of vintage inspiration.

    Bad news about the Chambray Jacquard... I've just bought it all! (Well, 1.5 m they had left) Had my eye on it for ages and finally took the plunge :-D

    Kestrel, I hate you! Lol 😂 That's the one I'd go for! Mind you, 1.5m wouldn't go very far on me. I'd like to try sewing with ponte roma so I'd look for an alternative there.

    What a good giveaway. I would have to go with the denim style butterfly cotton. No idea what I'd make yet, maybe a summer dress, but it is soooooo preeeety :-)

    I love that jacquard denim too. Or I'd choose some jersey to finally make that 80s dress I've been planning... since the 80s.

    There is so much choice, I am loving the butterfly denim, I think my four daughters would love that but I think I would choose the white dobby dot as I can't get this locally. Thank you x jennieglaze@live.co.uk

    I would order the cotton lawn floral in grey. I've been inspired by you to make a sew over it shirt dress and I think it would be fabulous for it!

    I have bought yarn from them but had never looked at their fabric, I was pretty impressed. I like the cream dobby cotton, the blue or navy stripe chambray and lots of the lawns. If I were not such a selfish sew I'd make one of my daughters a sundress with the big apple print lawn.

    I can just imagine the sprig denim in blue being the sweetest casual safari jacket style thingamy. Probably lined with the mustard owl cotton lawn (SO CUTE) because what's the point of sewing unless you can secretly put crazy prints in unexpected places :) fm12341@my.bristol.ac.uk

    Not that I need more polyester (I'm supposed to be sewing for summer!) but I'm a sucker for the small floral polyester in green.
