Sew Mama Sew giveaway day!

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day is here! I'm so excited to be a part of it this year. Here's what you can win at ellyn's place: A small version of my Nantucket Bag! This bag is the perfect size to take to book club, pack your lunch for work, or tuck a handwork project inside for the road. It has pockets inside too, for your cell phone & your cash.


Of course it won't come empty! You can choose one of my two patterns, the Nantucket Market Bag or the NYC Hipster Bag, and I will include that pattern so you can make your own. Other surprises will be tucked inside too.


All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by December 6.... tell me which of my two patterns you like best... and make sure I have a way to contact you! I will pick a random comment on December 7 and announce the winner here.


If you are a new visitor to ellyn's place, WELCOME! I hope you'll come back often.

I think I would go for the Nantucket market bag. It looks more like one I would be able to follow, plus I've been wanting to make a lined bag with a squared bottom, but can't seem to find the best way to do it. I'm sure your pattern will answer many questions!!

Thanks for opportunity :-)

Thanks!

I can't pick, I can't pick, I can't pick. They are both really cute bags. But I really like the one you made out of the Christmas Michael Miller fabrics for your family so maybe the Nantucket bag is my pick.

I absolutely ADORE the Nantucket Market Bag...It's beautiful. I've been looking for something that cute and fun. Stores today just don't make them as well as individuals who love to sew. You can't find better quality than homemade sewing projects!
