Squeeeee! The great gingham day has arrived. If you’ve spent the past month sewing up gingham, now is the time to share your work. Leave a comment on this post, linking to your social media share. If you don’t have a social media profile, you can email me a photo of your make to didyoumakethat[at]fastmail[dot]fm. I’ve already received quite a few emails and some awesome photographs.
These are the only two ways to enter the prize draw. None of us can rely on me rigorously trawling through various social media platforms, because I’m just not that rigorous.
If you comment below or email, you receive automatic entry to the prize draw, worth over £100. You can see full details of the goodies here. The giveaway is open internationally.
In order to allow for differing time zones, and be sure everyone has their chance to enter, I shall leave this blog post open to comments until 6pm GMT Wednesday 14 September. Then I’ll draw a winner at random. So, get your skates on!
Making with gingham has been great fun for me. I hope you’ve enjoyed yourselves, too!
Please note – if you’re commenting on this blog for the first time, I shall need to approve the comment to go live. So don’t panic, if there’s a delay between writing a comment and it appearing below.

Absolutely stunning. Pretty In Pink!
Hi, I made a jacket and leggings from lilac stretch gingham mixed with faux leather panels using Simplicity 1299 for the Jacket and MCCalls M6612 for the leggings/trousers. I had already made the Blank Slate High Low top but have included it here because I love it so much and really it is the inspiration for the rest of the outfit. It has been really enjoyable making these and having a dealine because I tend usually to take forever over this kind of thing. Also the jacket is not perfect but I am happy with it because it is the most difficult item I have made in the last 20 years. Thanks for hosting this its been brilliant.
I forgot my website

I particularly liked the pub shot! Great work, Jane, but we expect nothing less from you and gingham.

OOOOH….I can’t wait to see all these lovely gingham makes. It’s first thing in the morning here on Canada’s west coast, so I need my tea before I settle in for a good look.
Here’s the link to my gingham make. I went with navy/white gingham from my stash and made a shirt to go with a skirt of the same fabric:

My entry is a gingham pin cushion. I love the way it came out! http://www.thelostapron.com/2016/09/gingham-pin-cushion.html
What a day, how much fun looking at all your work. Amazing! I remember my mom made me a gingham outfit many years ago. We called it Vichy, and it was white and lavender. Memories! Thank you all for this beautiful day.
I’m not going to finish my dress in time. Work has gotten in the way!
Hi Karen 🙂 I have just sent you an email with my entry. Thanks for organising the Ginghamalong! I’m enjoying reading about everyone’s adventures in gingham 🙂
Squeezing in before the deadline! Here’s the link to my make on Instagram https://instagram.com/p/BKV_x9oDVpk/ 😃
