{sew, mama, sew giveaway day}

Let the “giving” continue!  I’ve done not much blogging this month but a whole lotta giving and that dear friends, is a good thing.  Our family has been busy with the season and family time and I’m not one to miss out.

SO…back one post, you’ll find the giveaway I’m doing with Where Women Create and their 12 Days of giving series…and here I am, playing along with Sew, Mama, Sew.

If you are new here, nice to meet you.  Take a gander over there to the right side bar and browse around.  You’ll also find up there links to chat with me on Facebook and Twitter (I’m on facebook…way too much…good chance you’ll catch me there more than here).

So let’s get to this whole giveaway thing, shall we?  Go HERE to see the full list of all of the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaways.  Happy Holidays to YOU because it is awesome!!

Today, I’m giving away several things.  Some supplies, patterns, a bag and my e-class.  Keep reading!

 

 

Here’s the deal…I’ll be giving these away as 3 separate prize packages.

1) the supplies including my score (ok, my parents scored this stuff at an auction – I’m sharing with you) of the vintage silk spools, brooches, yarn and patterns.  I love to display old thread spools and buttons in glass jars in my sewing space.  And I LOVE using brooches on my bags 

2) The design sample – Tie Tote bag.

3) A seat in my e-class so you can make a Tie Tote for yourself.

and one more….

4) A $20 shop credit.  There’s a catch to this one…

The giveaway is open until December 16th at 5pm PST.

I’m happy to ship internationally so this is open to everyone!

To enter, please tell me who YOU would like to give the $20 shop credit to and why.

Who in your life has done something special for you or is deserving of an extra treat?  We will let Random.org choose the prizes 1-3…and for the shop credit, we will let my “two peas” choose the winner of that one and we will award that shop credit to the person you indicated you wanted to gift this surprise to…sound good?!  (I’ll have something for the winner of that too!)

One last special treat, for our friends from Sew, Mama, Sew…if you’re interested in the Tie Tote Sewing Class for yourself…today through December 16th we will have them discounted and available for only $14.  (That’s $6 off!  and the price of a paper pattern in the store only this one you get 45 minutes of video instruction from yours truly that you can view anytime you want from the comfort of your sewing room, jammies and all.)

Happy Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day! 

 

 

the 12 days of christmas {where women create style}


Oh how I love this time of year.

love.

love.

love.

The fabulous ladies at Where Women Create asked me to participate again this year in their 12 Days of Christmas celebration.  You guys, this is so much fun!  For 12 days, there are 48 crafty ladies who are giving away LOADS of goodies.  No hoops – just leave a comment – each of the 12 days to be entered to win some serious loot!

What I love about this is “meeting” so many talented artists via their introductions and posts.

As an added tiny bonus to my giveaway over at the Where Women Create blog, I have another little treat.

I have a couple of extra magazines – the STITCH Fall 2011 issue that featured one of my patterns and a Spring 2011 Sew Hip issue with a Two Peas feature.  I’d love to share those with a couple of you.  Simply leave a comment here and I’ll pick 2 of you and send off these issues for you to enjoy.  Guess what else?  I’m going to add in with the magazines a cute little zip pouch from my stash!  What you get will be a surprise but I promise you’ll love it!

12 Days of Christmas – love it!  Hop over to Where Women Create everyday starting TODAY through December 12th for their giveaways.

And then Leave a comment here to be entered for the zip pouches and magazines (2 winners) and I’ll leave this giveaway open until December 12th.  I’ll pick 2 winners and announce them on December 13th!  Have fun and Happy Holidays!  THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

Ready for some new pattern sneak peeks? {and a giveaway}

I think you may have already met my newest girl,
the Tie Tote.

She’s a sweet little gal, easy to make and sassy.  In a good kind of way.
This paper pattern comes with her mini-Mommy size too.
Because don’t all girls want to be just like Mommy?
(mine sure do!)

Plus the mini-Mommy size is a great date night size bag so you can borrow it in a pinch.
That is if you have date nights, and if you don’t, you should…
(and that’s really a note to myself because I don’t have nearly enough with the Gardener)

I have 4 new patterns that will be shipping before the end of the year and this is sneaky peek number 1.

This sweet little bag is also the subject of my very first online sewing class.  Sometimes its just hard to get away and attend a class and this is the perfect solution.  Come sew with me – at your own pace – in your jammies – whenever you want.  Through 3 videos, I will guide you through every step to make the Tie Tote.  It’s fun, I promise.  And new sewers, YOU CAN DO THIS!  I promise you – you will build confidence with this bag!

To celebrate, these sneaky peeks coming out this week during Quilt Market, I’m doing a little giveaway.  I’m giving away FOUR class registrations for the Tie Tote class!  (Online class does NOT include the paper pattern – that is sold separately but it does have all of the text info you need plus the video support – read the reviews – either way you go, you’ll love making this bag!)

I will use random.org to choose a winner.  The giveaway will be open to all, US and International, and will close at midnight EST on October 29th, 2011.
