Deploy That Fabric :: Review & Giveaway
I’m honored to share a new book with you today, Deploy that Fabric
I am certain that this book is doing just that! Jen offers diagrams for deconstructing uniforms into usable fabric, and tips for what to keep, and where to use your seam ripper. Have you wondered what colors/prints work best with uniforms? Jen removes all apprehension, by stating that a uniform should be treated as a neutral! Mix your favorite prints, and get started!
Deploy That Fabric is full of projects! 9 purses and totes, 4 holiday projects, 4 quilts and baby items, and 6 small accessories. If you are new to fabric construction Jen has also included a helpful technique section complete with 3 zipper installation instructions.
The bags are fun and functional, and using prints you can make it unique to fit your personal style. The instructions are clear and concise and the photography is beautiful! Each project is labeled with a skill level, to give you an idea if the project is right for you as well.
And the quilted projects are simply beautiful. I love the vibrant prints, mixed with the uniforms!
Deploy That Fabric is a well thought and heart felt book that is sure to inspire many future projects. I’m glad to have it on my shelf! Would you like to add it to your collection of inspiration? Leave a comment to win a copy of Deploy that Fabric
I will select a winner on Friday, October 14th.
Good luck! ~Amy

OH! I would LOVE this book! My dh is career Army and we have PLENTY of old uniforms begging to be turned into something else (though he might not think so!).
What a wonderful way to honor our heroes! Would be a perfect gift for service retirees, as well! I may need to visit a surplus store very soon! ;-)
This would be a great book to have, if I don’t win, it will be on my Christmas List. My husband and I were both in the military (I have lots of uniforms left) – I think it would be great to make something for each of our children. We are both 4th generation military – so the tradition is strong!
Yes, I’d LOVE a copy!! After 22 years in the Air Force, I have have quite a stash of old unis that I’m trying to figure out what to do with. :D
What a wonderful thing to recycle and honor those that are in or were in the military at the same time!
Very cool fabric! Would love to put some of it together=-)
What a great inspiration book! My DH was in the AF and our son is currently serving in the AF. So proud of our volunteers that allow us to live the independent life we are living!
My cousin is in the Army, has a wife and 3 children. He has been deployed 4 times, sometimes for 15 months at a time. His wife gave me several of his BDU uniforms and I am going to make some messenger bags for the kids and hopefully a gym bag for Mom. This book would be of such help to me!
I’ve had my eye on this book! Our son is a Marine and I just asked him to send me his old cammies. I’m looking forward to repurposing those cammies into these projects. Would love to make a bag for our daughter who is away at college and quilts to curl up with to feel like he is closer. We also have a very close friend who is a retired Marine and I would love to make him a quilt. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great book!
How awesome! I’d live to win that book!
What a great idea!!! I love it!
What a lovely book! I was raised in a military family and this makes me happy in many ways! Thanks for hosting a great giveaway :)
This is a pretty neat book, I’ve enjoyed seeing the sneak peeks at it across blogland recently. Both of my grandfathers served in WWII, and I have two siblings-in-law that serve in the Navy.
My brother-in-law is in the Middle East for a year, so I’d LOVE to make a quilt for his two little girls to snuggle under. I’ve already asked my sister-in-law if he’s got some old uniforms somewhere.
I would love this! What a great way to use my husbands old USMC cammies.
I really like the idea of re-using fabric. The camo prints would go nicely with the coffee burlap bags I use to make tote bags.
This looks a great book – I would love to win a copy!
I have had my eye on this book and would love to be the lucky winner!
:)
I would love this! Plenty of uniforms around here. I hate to get rid of them.

As the wife of a Vietnam veteran, I’d love to make – and carry proudly – a bag from one of his uniforms. At the time he was overseas and for a long time afterward, we did not experience the kind of support rightly given to those serving today, and carrying one like that would have sparked unpleasant comments from total strangers. Thanks to Jen Eskridge for writing this book!
What a great idea – I would love to make something of all the old uniforms in this house.
What a great idea! I have children in the Air Force, Navy, and Army, so bring on the projects for those old uniforms! P.S. Send me the book…. :>)
I would *so* love to win a copy of this! Please do count me in! :)
So proud of this book, what a novel and extraordinary concept!
This book looks like such fun! What a great idea!
I love this idea. It would be so special to recieve a gift from a loved one’s uniform.
Would love to win this!! I would love to have ideas for all my husbands old uniforms.
SUCH A NEAT BOOK!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
What a wonderful way to make a quilt with real meaning!
I would love to win that book! I am forever printing off “Inspiration” from the computer. Thank you for the giveaway!
I think this book looks awesome and I can’t wait to finally have some projects for all those old uniforms my husband keeps giving me!
Thanks for the giveaway. I’ve enjoyed the blog hop.
Love the idea behind this book. Would love to see what I can do with its contents. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea for a book! Thanks for the giveaway.
That looks like a fun and interesting book. Thanks.
I’d love to win this, thanks for the chance! With hubby being in the military, I’ve had my eye on his uniforms for awhile and this book would be a great help!
This is a such a great idea. I would love to be able to reuse the husband’s old uniforms!
Would love this, I have made many jean quilts for our military people….
This is my first time to your blog, but I have so much camo that needs reusing. Please count me in for the drawing!
A surely great idea to use old uniforms for things like quilts and bags. Things that you can have around when the one you love is not around… maybe parts of a uniform that he/she has worn while being in a foreign country…
Or maybe to make a quilt for your loved one to take with him/her – to comfort when needed…
I just love the idea of that book… and would love to win one as well
Looks like an awesome book!
I’d love to add this book to my collection and learn how to deconstruct a uniform into more useable pieces. I have a stack of uniforms that are too worn out or faded for my husband to wear to work anymore. It would be great to make something for my kids so they always have a part of their dad with them.
It seems to be a great book. Would be great to win something; You’d have to send it to Belgium :)
I saw this on Quilt Dad also and just loved it. So creative!
What a super idea and very clever. Cannot wait to see more. Thank you for sharing
I love the idea of this book and would love to add it to my library.
Looks so interesting.
This would be such a great win! My son and future son in law are both Army and it would be so neat to be able to make some items for my daughter for their wedding and for later…how cool it would be to do so!
First of all, I thankful that she wrote this book! There are many of us military wives (myself included) that will get good use out of this book, and will perhaps use it to make items for those that have lost their spouses in the war. What a blessing it would be to make a quilt or purse for a widow? Or to present a wounded warrior with a gift? Or to give a retiree a keepsake at their military retirement ceremony? Thank you for the review and givewaway! :)
This looks like a fun book. My dad was career Air Force and anything military always makes me happy. Bet there are some fun projects in it.
Love the idea of using these fabrics together!! I met my husband when we were in the Reserves together so camouflage fabric has a bit of a sentimental meaning for us:)
I’d love to win a copy of this book. I’m the daughter of a WWII & Korean War veteran (still going strong at 91) & the wife of a Vietnam War veteran. Thanks for the giveaway.
There are so many people who I know who have loved ones deployed. I would love to get my hands on a copy of this book. thanks for the review and giveaway.

This book would be helpful to recycle military uniforms and honor those that are service or served in the military (like many of my relatives)! In fact, think that many uniforms might be usable for these patterns. Thanks for the chance.

That is such a wonderful idea! Now I wish we hadn’t disposed of most of my husband’s old military clothing. :( Thank you for the chance to win this.
This book looks great. I am going to ask to have some uniforms saved from my son and some friends. They would make a wonderful quilt.
I was in the Navy and that’s where I met my other half – 51 years of service between us…..and lots of uniforms. I’ve made some bags and passport covers – fire retardant too!
sister in the army. If I win all her old uniforms will be put to good use right away :)
This is the coolest quilt book ever! My husband was deployed to Iraq and this would give me wonderful ways to use his uniforms!
I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book. I think it is going to be full of some great ideas. I have been making things out of my husbands old uniforms for the last 16 years. I am always searching for new ideas.
Im hoping being in australia i still have a little time to enter.
I love recycling fabric. The softness of the fabric in the finished quilt is lovely.
If by some mysterious chance of events i happen to win. I would seriously love a hard copy book. Happy to pay for postage.

That is such a wonderful idea! Now I wish we hadn’t disposed of most of my husband’s old military clothing. :( Thank you for the chance to win this.
This book looks great. I am going to ask to have some uniforms saved from my son and some friends. They would make a wonderful quilt.
I was in the Navy and that’s where I met my other half – 51 years of service between us…..and lots of uniforms. I’ve made some bags and passport covers – fire retardant too!
sister in the army. If I win all her old uniforms will be put to good use right away :)
This is the coolest quilt book ever! My husband was deployed to Iraq and this would give me wonderful ways to use his uniforms!
I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book. I think it is going to be full of some great ideas. I have been making things out of my husbands old uniforms for the last 16 years. I am always searching for new ideas.
Im hoping being in australia i still have a little time to enter.
I love recycling fabric. The softness of the fabric in the finished quilt is lovely.
If by some mysterious chance of events i happen to win. I would seriously love a hard copy book. Happy to pay for postage.
Thanks for the give away.
