    Lots to choose from. I'd pick one of the heather grey stripes with either teal or orange/red and have a go at the GBSB drapey dress.

    I know it's boring but I'd go for the solid black Ponte de Roma to make a lengthened Grainline Morris.

    OOOH now I would pick the quatrefoil in green. I love green and have a fab pair of shoes to go with it. I have one more vintage make up my sleeve for the last bit of the year. Will post you when it is finished. Jo x

    I would choose "Red LOVE on White Cotton Jersey Blend Knit Fabric" (CJ-3542). A full skirt dress with this fabric can be so lovely!

    Lovely selection and what a lot to choose from!
    If I had to be reasonable and only pick ONE fabric, I'd choose the [Vintage Heather Grey Solid Cotton Jersey Tri Blend Knit Fabric], to make one (or two) dresses for my Autumn/Winter Capsule! I'd probably start with a Lady Skater or Moneta!

    The dachshund fabric puts a smile on my face. I think it would look lovely as a simple top and there's even be enough fabric to make a matching one for a friend.

    I would choose the Bold feathers on white jersey...with three metres I could make a knit shift dress and there would be plenty of make Tilly's knit t-shirt.

    Thank you for the great giveaway!
    Girl Charlee has so many beautiful fabrics to choose from! I'd be torn between a fun printed fabric (like the Got Dog or the Fox Family prints) and a practical basic cotton jersey sweatshirt knit.....

    I would pick the Tossed Pineapples on Royal Blue Cotton Jersey Blend Knit Fabric. It makes me smile and think of lovely summer days, cheering me up while we are in the midst of dark boring fall. :)

    I just keep coming back to the fox family on Aqua...I think I could pull it off in a dress...probably the CoCo dress. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    So much loveliness to choose from! I think I would go for a Hacci sweater knit to make something cozy for winter...

    I just love the fox family on the cobalt blue background. It reminds me of a tunic top my sister recently bought. I've not worked with a knit fabric before so it would be a good challenge. I think I'd have to make it into a lovely cosy jumper type dress, one for me and one for my mini me ��

    Oooo what a great giveaway! I love the girl charlee range and am so glad we can get it here now. If I won I would love the "black mauve scattered spots baby hacci sweater knit" as I am dying to hack New look k6145 into a cute fitted sweater top.

  27. Sewfarsogood5 November 2015 at 10:54

    Too much choice! But I would choose the black white Aztec French terry knit because it's gorgeous.
    Really enjoy reading your blog as being a born again sewist ( many years absence) you give

    I'd pick Fawn Silhouette on Forest Green Cotton Jersey Blend Knit Fabric. This would make a lovely dress. I'm thinking lady skater.

    It's difficult to choose only one from such a wide range! But I can totally see a simple silhouette dress in this Blue Red Ikat on White Ponte De Roma Knit Fabric: http://www.girlcharlee.co.uk/blue-red-ikat-on-white-ponte-de-roma-knit-fabric-p-10553.html?cPath=90_168

    I'd be a bit dull I'm afraid. Have started wearing leggings much more so want to make some. Would prefer solids so would go with the Heather Grey Solid Cotton Spandex Knit Fabric.

    Hello! I'd love the Peacock Blue Solid Cotton Spandex Knit Fabric, either to make a winter dress or, more likely, a batwing top or cardigan plus a pair of matching leggings, which would be perfect!! Thanks for the chance! Jen

    The navy blue ponte de roma fabric:http://www.girlcharlee.co.uk/navy-blue-solid-ponte-de-roma-fabric-p-8721.html?cPath=90_114, is going to be absolutely gorgeous as a pencil skirt or a midthigh shift dress. That'd be my pick!

    The prints are delightful, and terribly tempting, but I'm short and basics just now and could make good use of the Black Solid Ponte de Roma Fabric.

    Ooooooh! The fawn silhouettes in either colourway would be great :0)

    Mmm, hard to choose... But the Bird Silhouette on White Cotton would make a fab dress! :)

  38. Sarah Donnison11 November 2015 at 17:28

    Wow, so many fab choices! I would go for the dawn silhouette on forest green and I would have a go at the lady skater dress which has been lurking in my pattern box for a while... I have yet to pluck up the courage to make a knit dress!

    I would choose the black white Aztec print cotton French terry. I would use it to make the Seamwork Oslo cardi, especially now the temperature has plummeted in England!

  47. romykate23 November 2015 at 19:41

    Too hard to choose! I was going to go with a quatrefoil print because I really need some everyday prints but my love of quirk won over so I'd go for the fox family in cobalt blue. I'd probably make a D&D Plantain tshirt and maybe some pyjama bottoms if I had enough fabric, or throw caution to the wind and make a skater dress/skirt.

  48. Unknown24 November 2015 at 08:27

    I would choose the Quatrefoil Black cotton jersey fabric for a Nettie dress

  49. Kristen Bradley24 November 2015 at 09:12

    I would choose the fuschia and white stripe ponte roma to make a bright coco dress and hopefully have enough to make my daughter a dress/top as well.
