Sew Mama Sew giveaway day!

Sew Mama Sew is having another giveaway day! This was so much fun last time I decided to do it again! Here's what I am giving away this time....
A pink & lavender lined zipper bag.... perfect for keeping goodies organized in your purse, storing little toys for your kiddo, whatever you want! Inside, I've tucked a pink & white crocheted dishcloth, 100% cotton. Easily washed & dried in your machine. PLUS..... you can choose which of my two patterns you want me to include, either the Nantucket Market bag, great for carrying your groceries, or the NYC Hipster bag to keep your cash & coupons in when you head to the store.... you can make either one in fabrics of your choice.


All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post by Thursday, May 20. I will use a random number generator to pick a winner & post that name on Friday, May 21. Please be sure I have an email to contact you or I will have to draw another number....

Welcome to any new readers! Would love to have you come back & read about my crafty fun (with some pretty cakes by my awesome 13 year old daughter Ally thrown in for your viewing pleasure!). There's always something new going on here at ellyn's place!

Also, I am working on some new patterns which will be revealed this summer! So check back often, I look forward to seeing you!

  30. Oh, what wonderful prizes. I really love both of the patterns you're giving away too. I have looked through your site and love the tutorials. I've been trying to find more info about the Nantucket bag as far as the size. It appears to have a wide square bottom but none of the pics anywhere showed a side view. It looks like a great bag.
