My 'inspiration' if I could be that bold, was to make something a bit British! Surrounded by Jubilee and Olympic preparations, how could I not at least tip my hat in that direction?
So my contribution to the Giveaway madness is this collection of Cath Kidston-inspired makings...
I have been pulling out, stroking, the folding away a lovely piece of the CK print for too long, (a prize, probably my first EVER from my dear friend Annabelle), so what better time to use a small piece of it and share the love.
The pouch measures about 8" x 6.5" and had to combine with my current love of Essex Linen...
The big pocket on the back will comfortably hold a 6" hoop, if a bit of embroidery is your current stitch-craft of choice.
The purse is lined with some pink and white star fabric of unknown origin, but it keeps with the CK theme rather nicely.
I had to make a matching needle book and pincushion. A word of warning on the pincusion though; having interfaced and added a piece of batting as well as the (poly) wadding, you may have problems actually getting your pins and needles in - the linen side is the better option; but it looks pretty anyway!
I also have these that came with a newspaper...
I already have all the books, which include all the lovely patterns they contain, so maybe they can inspire you too.
So what do you need to do to get your hands on this little piece of Brit-ness?
Well you could follow me, that would be polite, but you don't have to, honestly; so one comment only please telling me 'what you think of as typically British'?
Whether you are Brit, or maybe looking in from overseas, it matters not - I will mail internationally. However, if you are a 'no-reply blogger' without a means of me tracking you down, I will re-draw. Mr Random will do the deed.
The giveaway will remain open until Friday 25th May - 9pm British Summer Time. NB. This is a little earlier than 5pm BST, but that's the middle of the night, and I'd like to pick a winner before I go to bed.
Jolly good luck to you all xxx
Hello Hadley, typically British ...mmm....it has to be a really nice cup of tea and a scone with jam and clotted cream!
ReplyDeleteDouble-decker buses come to mind first, then those nifty phone booths and, of course, the Union Jack!
ReplyDeleteI think of Princess Diana at her wedding which I watched when I was 10.

typically british - pubs and bad teeth.
ReplyDeleteJen (above) is making me giggle.
ReplyDeleteTea. Tea is as British as you get.
xx
i LOVE the cath kidston stuff! i am totally head over heels for her stuff. i almost put myself into debt getting one of her handbags. anyway...
ReplyDeletei think of the red phoneboxes (or the blue police ones, haha!) right away. very iconic! and still british to me, even when seen in other countries...
sorry i posted twice but i forgot my email! you can reach me at supersharmie at gmail dot com :)
Very cute giveaway! Briish? Where my mother was born. :o)
ReplyDeleteRed busses and phone boots. Oh and the guards with fur hats that can't move !

ReplyDeleteI think of fish n' chips... hot guys with accents to match... and lots of bar fights!!
Typically British - Doctor Who
ReplyDeleteand bangers and mash
Coronation Street ..... we are nearly up to the tram accident here
ReplyDeleteI lived in London during my teenage years and I really miss it. Rainy Spring days always make me feel very nostalgic for the UK. In fact, we're having one of those days today here in Washington, DC. :-)
ReplyDeletealyson (at) hastyquilter.net
From across the pond - I think of HATS as being oh so British. And those lovely Brontes.
ReplyDeleteI second the phone booths ala Dr. Who.
ReplyDeleteThe first thought was the union Jack.
Third was a cup of tea.
fourth was downton abbey.
I could go on and on -- but need to get off my butt and go to work.
Thanks for the fabulous giveaway.
I'll put mine up tonight.
I think of fish and chips, among other things.
ReplyDeleteI do love British shows in general but I can't decide what I think to be the most typically British...hmmm...I think British culture is generally pretty relaxed. Less rules and regulations, people are much more willing to go with the flow!
ReplyDeleteHappy giveaway day :)
dramallama56(at)hotmail(dot)com
Tea time comes to mind! christina112358 at gmail dot com

I think of the accent right away!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a lovely giveaway!
I think of tea, Union Jack, and the Royal Family. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteNow asking an Irish woman what is typically British might be a bit risky! But I LOVE your pouch! Jxo
ReplyDeletehmm, typically british - well coming from a yankee i'm stereotyping and saying the union jack flag.. then maybe big ben :) beautiful pouches hadley!
ReplyDeletehmmm, typically British...
ReplyDeleteMonty Python, LOL. Or Benny Hill.

Typical British... hrmm... lovely accent, tea, driving on the "other" side of the road ;-), and the queen.
ReplyDeleteTypically British...tea, scones and clotted cream, oh and the queen. Love her.
ReplyDeleteI am a loyal follower.
I think of tea, double decker buses, and the queen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!!
Things that seem British to me: tea & biscuits, the word "bloody", and Oliver Twist.
ReplyDeleteHope I didn't sound too much like an out of touch American. ;)
Thanks for the chance at a lovely giveaway!
Its gotta be tea. Teapots, and tea plates with scones and clotted cream! yummy!! Love the linen on the bags!
ReplyDeletetypically British... dry humor, tea, being polite inspite of the situation... LOVE your work!!!!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteTypically British, I guess tea and scones, and you spell like me and London, well, it is hard to explain what I see as British. I would love that pouch, you could just hand deliver it. Surprisingly I have a thing for pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen, tea and cucumber sandwiches, or perhaps warm beer!
ReplyDeleteAdore that pouch!
Oh my, I don't know anything about Brits except for their accents. EESH!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower. I love finding new blogs to follow.
A good cup of tea - solves all of life's woes!
ReplyDeleteLove your little pouch! Hmm...typically British to me, well, my first thought was the accent, then I remember my trip (years ago) and seeing all London.
ReplyDeleteReally cute Hadley! How about some wedgewood porcelain tea cups with roses or.... Liberty!
ReplyDeleteTypically British...I guess the show Top Gear, since it's one of me and my husband's favorite things to watch! :) Thanks for the chance to win, hehe!
ReplyDeleteVery fun question! I have to agree with the commenter who said "pubs and bad teeth", though I hate to admit it. I also used to think of fish and chips and all the English lit books we had to read in high school. But now I must say that when I hear "British" I think of you and my other lovely blogging friends from across the pond. Excellent makes, by the way!
ReplyDeleteAs a northerner the first thing that comes to mind is rain, and being quite happy going out and getting drenched. We got funny looks in the Caribbean going swimming in the rain!
ReplyDeletePS - the pouch is gorgeous!
It has to be the good old cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteRed buses and the union jack. Thanks for the giveaway, I love CK and would be thrilled to get something of hers!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I think is typically British? Saying, ' you could follow me, that would be polite, but you don't have to, honestly.'
ReplyDeleteMwah xx
Hi Hadley! Love your makes! I think of .... A cuppa .... Still don't know if the cup is always tea? Can it refer to coffee? Riding in "the boot" - is that the trunk? I think of the Royal family, the subway system, and yes, Downton Abbey!
ReplyDeleteI think typically British is having summers that occur in March or April and then don't reappear for another 12 months. Thanks for the giveaway you!
ReplyDeleteQueuing in the rain for a (red) bus that doesn't arrive and saying sorry when another person in the queue steps back on your foot...oh, and maybe wearing one of those see-through plastic rain hats that ties under your chin and carrying a flask?!
ReplyDeleteA quick wit and fun personality!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the CK--I hope I win but if not, that it goes to someone who will appreciate it! (Have you seen the CK shop? I want to live in there!)
I would say tea and crumpets. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteWell, typically brittish... for me that is the nasty stuff called Marmite! Have tried it, but sorry, no... I am a new follower on my iphone! Really like what I have seen here!
ReplyDeleteQueueing for everything, tea and bowler hats ;-).
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway xx
my other half says nobody can made puddings like the british!

great tea, of course!

To me school uniform. I have lived in Germany and in Holland. I have family in Belgium, Austria and France and only in Britain do children wear uniform to school. Not a bad thing in my opinion because I never need to have any discussion on what they need to wear in the morning.
ReplyDeleteJane Austin. And Downton Abbey. I just love both!
ReplyDeleteprincess di and i would love to win thank you
ReplyDelete"No sex please... ...we're British" LOL! Just kidding... I'll go with the Monarchy... I am in love with the Royal Family :)
ReplyDeleteI think of tea and those telephone booths haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaways!
melissajpalmer at yahoo dot com
Afternoon tea, great accent, great literature! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway. When I think British, I think of cottages and flower gardens.
ReplyDeleteYou may think I'm nuts, but when I think of British, I think first of the Beatles, the Stones and the Kinks! Then I think of tea time, double decker busses and bobbies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
I think of tea and telephone booths
ReplyDeleteStiff upper lip! :> Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen, of course!
ReplyDeleteTea, tea and more tea.
ReplyDeleteFish and chips.
Day trips to the seaside where it rains all day...until it's time to go home.
Red double decker buses.
Dodgey dentistry.
Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for Sunday Lunch.
The Queen.
The Bee Bee Ceeee and those cut glass accents of presenters in past times.
Union Flags.
Fetes.
strawberries and cream.
British Reserve and conversely the smutty carry on...seaside postcard type humour. Yeah I could go on but I need so show some reserve and stop now.
Typically British...I think of the mysteries that I LOVE so much. {British cozies} I am so in love with your prizes...they are just as beautiful as they could be...sigh...
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely things - I'm a sucker for that Essex Linen and I've been using it in everything lately :-) When I think British I think tea and scones, oh and tennis but that might be because my husband is heading over for Wimbledon (work behind the scenes, not on the courts, sadly). Thanks for the fun giveaway!
ReplyDeletethe needle case is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTypical British? I have no clue. As I learned in school there is this strange Christmas pudding but since I am in Ireland I can't find anything strange about it.
Today for me it is Chelsea but tomorrow it will the Olympic games.
And never to forget: it is always raining in good old Britain :)
Right, now, should I be honest or not? Oh sod it, I will be! Well, typically British for me is how EVERY YEAR, the Wimbledon commentators seem to think Tim Henman/Andy Murray/whoever is going to win, no matter how crap they are playing. And being miffed when they inevitably get knocked out. But I do love watching a bit of tennis I have to say. Love your pouch girlie!
ReplyDeleteBeing American, I think of the British as using proper English (because we certainly do not!) Your giveaway is adorable.
ReplyDeleteRain :-( lovely giveaway Hadley
ReplyDeleteMonty Python. There's also a distinctly British way of paying a compliment that is actually a bit insulting. It's quite funny, but then I adore a dry British sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteTea time! That's really all I think of as being typically British...and perhaps Bank Holidays. jinglesells at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteTea time!!
ReplyDeleteall of these and I hope to be seeing, eating, wearing or drinking them all in June...
ReplyDeleteUnion Jack,
Lager louts,
fish and chips,
warm beer,
Pimms
scones
queen
strawberries,
buses, tubes and late trains
oh and rain :O)
So many thinks come to mind about the British. Lets see, first is the scones, the union jack, double decker buses, and I love their sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Cath Kidston and your giveaway is lovely! British - I think of tea, Princess Diana, castles, Cath Kidston (just bought one of her books recently) and I love the British accent.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of British I think of flats. My friend always talks about her small flat.
ReplyDeleteMmm used to live there... love Pippa Parsons' answers! Pimms, puns, not getting worked up about things you can't change, behaving in public (I hear that's changed since I moved away in 1996 ... chav culture didn't exist yet, and the word "yob" was the new idea - and very new, too...)... women who look either horsey (poor Princess Anne), German (like me! or the Queen), or stunningly beautiful (I'm a Lily Cole fan myself, although I hear she's an acquired taste)... oh, and quite good beer and gin (not together!).
ReplyDeleteHaha someone steps on your toe and you apologise! You can't get more British than that!
ReplyDeleteGreat makings Hadley!
I think of flowery tea cups and scones
ReplyDeletemframe00@gmail.com
Cath Kidston *swoon* typically British? Breakfast in a can?
ReplyDeleteAfternoon tea! Between that and the pub frequenting I easily gained weight during my semester in Edinburg and London!
ReplyDeleteI started following you when I saw your Constellation quilt, if only someday I can make something that fabulous.
Cheddar cheese on toast with a little bit of marmite under the cheese and a nice big mug of tetley :-) So refined :-) That and the onset of abject panic when you cant see where the queue starts / which queue to join....
ReplyDeleteTea :) I adore these, thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletetea with milk, and pubs. I did my PhD in england way back, and boy were those happy days!
ReplyDeleteThe first word that popped in my head was "tea" and then all the great masterpiece shows they show here on PBS.
ReplyDeleteIn Spain we think that people in Britain are polite and punctual, eat a full breakfast every day and go to sleep very early!
ReplyDeleteThe British bobby!( if you can find one)
ReplyDeleteOne example of a typically British thing is the double decker bus.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. Tea, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteHELLO! WHEN I THINK OF THE BRITISH,I THINK OF DRINKING TEA WITH SOMETHING VERY DELISH NEXT TO IT!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR A SWEET GIVEAWAY!
msstitcher1214@yahoo.com
What is British? When I lived abroad for a while I really missed fish and chips!! Beautiful giveaway, thank you.
ReplyDeleteks.eyles@yahoo.co.uk
Tea and Dr Who! :)
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I think of is my best friend growing up. And then tea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize! The most British things to me are the BBC and dry wit humor, but also clotted cream which, even when they say they are serving it here, you usually get whipped cream.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with two. Tea. and Malt vinegar on chips.mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteHow about cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off them......
ReplyDeleteQueueing is definitely a British tradition!
ReplyDeleteWell "tea" is my first thought when you mention British things, bobies on bicycles 2 by 2 "The Beatles" Love the pouch thanks for a chance
ReplyDeleteThat pouch is wonderful...as for something British I am going to say tea because it is the first thought that comes to mind...thanks for your giveaway...I am a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteFish and chips, a mug of tea and brown sauce. I am so classy (and British)
ReplyDeleteyou! And a good cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteTypically British...you!
ReplyDeletehmm typical British? Queueing! We are so good at it! Sometimes i feel the urge to join a queue without even knowing what it's for, but let's face it if people are queuing there has to be something good at the end!
ReplyDeleteJacket Potatoes ... and those red telephone booths! ^_^
ReplyDeleteLove your give away...fingers crossed!
Hi H
ReplyDeleteBeing British... We used to live in the States & the Brits stood out before they even opened their mouths....not overly attractive, quirky, stoic, but exceptionally witty & able to laugh at their own disasters (alas these all describe me too!)

ReplyDeleteand the Royal family
Coronation Street (we got Canadian teli in our home when living a few miles from Vancouver Island, BC) Red double decker buses, those cute phone booths pasted with provocative advertisements!
ReplyDeleteTypically British would definitely have an awesome accent. There will be some sort of General Lee flag (reference Dukes of Hazzard, not Great Britian...Please don't be offended by this--no disrespect to your flag, that's just what we know it as) tea, scones, and some sort of pretty hat. The attitude will be happy and laid back and really charming. I am a follower. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love the whole set. Would love to have it all. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteDonna
don_mae2(at)yahoo(dot)com
There are a lot of things I immediately think of...the first being the Queen and the Royals obviously. The next sounds really mean, but I'll be honest, I think of bad teeth, which I think is an American stereotype thing...I would LOVE to be corrected on that aspect and told that I am totally wrong! LOL
ReplyDeleteA fabulous British accent. Tea and scones (though I'm American and always drink tea and often make scones...)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!
handmadebytracie (at) gmail (dot) com
Typically British, hmmm. . . beans on toast for breakfast. It's my husband's favorite meal! Oh, and marmite.

Tea in a lovely tea cup
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I would say is typically British, but my husband and I are currently watching Downton Abbey, Season 1. :)
I guess I would say tea time for typically British.
Tea, the Queen, pubs and Downton Abbey!
ReplyDeleteTea and Scones :-) Love them both!

ReplyDeletegrokgrace(at)hotmail(dot)com
I think my ideas of what is typically British stem from Wallace and Grommit, and Shaun the Sheep. Both great shows! Thank you for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh a wonderful brit accent, tea, scones, red double decker buses, rain, beautiful castles with the Queen, pomp and pagentry! Thanks, they are all just lovely!
ReplyDeleteDouble Deck buses, Beatles?
ReplyDeletehmmm I do follow. and I think tea and the Queen!
ReplyDeleteBritish? Um, drizzle and hats. And driving on the left.
ReplyDeleteLet's see... bad teeth and smelly fish. :)
ReplyDeleteTypically British - a cross between the Beatles and a very prim, proper lady drinking tea... with a hat on. :-) Thanks so much for the chance to win your lovely prize pack!!!
ReplyDeleteI think typically British to me is "tea". Not the one with scones & cakes, but what we in the US call dinner/supper. When my Gran & I were in Scotland, the very nice elderly lady we stayed with referred to her evening meal as having "tea". A light evening meal usually, with wonderful biscuits, hand cut ham, butter and a few side dishes. Yum.
ReplyDeleteBangers and mash.
ReplyDeletescones and clotted cream.
ReplyDeleteMy husband, although Australian, is of English and Scottish descent, so there are lots of things I think of as very "Brit", LOL.
ReplyDeleteOne of them is his mum's need to boil every vegetable almost to death before serving it for a meal. That and how she always calls lunch "dinner" and dinner "tea". :)
I've been watching QI lately, so right now I feel that witty language is typically British :D Only watching certain types of series and stuff from over there can give a pretty one sided image, but it seems from here like it's very British to value varied and beautiful language, heh. Maybe that's just because of Stephen Fry.
ReplyDeleteTea and crumpets my dear *said in that wonderful but perhaps not accurate british accent*
ReplyDeleteKat
We watched the Queen's special tribute ceremony to the Forces on Sunday - only the Brits can pull off that level of pomp! Oh, and queuing!
ReplyDeleteTea and cucumber sandwiches. Big Ben and the bell towers of London.
ReplyDeleteProper tea and crumpets with clotted cream and strawberry preserves are typically British to me.
ReplyDeleteI am visiting your blog from overseas, but part of the Commonwealth, here in ON Canada!

ReplyDeleteI love her novels and I've been reading them since I was nine.
And I love Cath Kidston!
Splashing in the puddles in wellies! Fab-u-lous makes darh-ling!

zamoskvoreche@gmail.com
I follow you anyway, but I think that a cup of tea is the most English thing!
ReplyDeleteProper tea with milk made in a teapot - builder's strength - and a sarcastic sense of humour linked to the phrase "I'm fine..."
ReplyDeleteTea and crumpets, the Queen, adult men saying "Mum", keeping a stiff upper lip, dry humor, campy sci-fi!
ReplyDeleteMy husband's accent! Drinking tea with milk and no sugar, the telegraph, etc. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteRoses! Tea! and Scones!

ReplyDeleteTypically British? Drinking a cup of tea or 'being on a tea break'!! I don't actually drink tea and living here in the UK means I sure get some funny looks if I refuse a cup of tea! Too funny!!
I don't really know.... Tea time? Although I would LOVE to have tea time myself, ha ha. :)
ReplyDeletepeachstateme (at) hotmail (dot) com

ReplyDeleteOh boy. What do I think of as British? I guess since we are part of the Commonwealth, I think of high tea. I also think of Marks and Spencer as we no longer have one here anymore.
ReplyDelete
