I'm delighted to be joining Windham Fabrics today on Day 4 of their Back To School 2017 Blog Hop, sharing their brand new Aliens collection by Jan Avellana.
The collection has 15 fabric designs - aliens, spacecraft, planets and stars.
Update - due to Hurricane Irma, I'm currently evacuated from my south Florida home and not able to finalise my tute. I'm hoping to be able to do this over the next couple of days, please bear with me and do come back for my free tute.
And now for the giveaway!
Just look at the fat quarters Windham sent for me to work with.

Back To School Blog Hop For Windham Fabrics
This collection is absolutely irresistible. I loved making up this quilted drawstring back pack and I have a special little someone in mind to gift it to later this year.
Measuring approx 12" x 15-1/2", this back pack can be worn by toddlers, kids, teenagers and adults simply by adapting the length of shoulder cord used.
Fully lined and quilted, my design features a trimmed front pocket with optional faux popper embellishment, side tabs,
and a drawstring top channel that's constructed separately to the main body of the bag.
Fancy making make your own Drawstring Back Pack?
You can!
NOW AVAILABLE!

Okay, you got me--I had to look up spotted dick since I had no clue what it was. Very different from "pudding" here in the US. I've never been much of a fan of pudding but I do like anything chocolate so I suppose chocolate pudding was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHope you're safe in Florida. I follow you so I'll come back to get the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI liked the vanilla pudding.
My favorite pudding is custard. Thanks for a great giveaway.

ReplyDeleteSchool pudding? I hated pudding as a kid because Mom always seemed to make tapioca and I could not abide by those little eyes in it. Still can't. Now, the pudding I really like is lemon meringue pie pudding. Mmmm. Thanks for the tutorial and chance to win.

ReplyDeleteWhat cute fabric - thanks for the chance to win it. Judy W. jjaw@verizon.net
Don't think I've ever had a school pudding, so no favourite here. Anything chocolate would probably be good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I always loved it when we had pink custard
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate pudding, but in school there was a horrible custard, all runny and yucky!

ReplyDeleteI am a chocolate pudding lover too. But I make a "killer" bread pudding that definitely would not be served in any elementary school....(pssst, it's got rum in it!)

ReplyDeleteWhen I was in elementary school in Wichita, Kansas back in the 50s there was no hot lunch at school. Many kids went home for lunch & the rest brought their own lunch in a lunch pail. My mother made tapioca & other puddings sometimes (I have never heard of Spotted Dick-will have to look that up). I think tapioca may have been my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love vanilla pudding but we never had pudding at school. Thanks for the chance to win! irmi.lents@freenet.de
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a chocolate pudding!
ReplyDeleteI always packed my lunch and never had pudding, but my favorite flavor is butterscotch.
ReplyDeleteThe really smooth chocolate pudding-YUM
ReplyDeleteCan't really remember our school puddings, but I love syrup pudding (I do remember the custard at school was really vile, anaemic looking and tasteless) valerie.boudier@ntlworld.com
ReplyDeleteChocolate pudding- always! Thank you, Susan
ReplyDeleteWell...I never ate lunch at school. My family lived close enough that we could walk home for lunch. I do like home made tapioca pudding though. sewgood414athotmaildotcom
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate pudding--with whipped cream of course! Fun back pack, and love the fabrics. It would make a cute quilt for some young boy, for sure. Thanks for the chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteChocolate pudding for sure! Great backpack!
