UPDATE: GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED AT 178 COMMENTERS. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN A SEPARATE POST.
Hi again! I am continuing to celebrate Giveaway Day!
So, I thought I should give away something I made, since that's a bit more personal than some fabric that anyone could get (although you gotta love free fabric !).
I had grand plans and this is what I ended up having time for...
A super-cute bow clutch!
One small and cute bow clutch. Main fabric is from IKEA, the bow is Kona Caribbean. I mainly followed this tutorial from Prudent Baby, but assembled the clutch according to the Perfect Zip Bag pattern from Elizabeth Hartman. It is my go-to bag/pouch pattern - it always works well!
Would you like to win it? Here's how:
1) Leave a comment and tell me what is your favorite purse/bag pattern (could be one you've made or want to make). I've been wanting to make the Anna Maria Horner Art Student Tote...
2) Bonus entry for followers - just leave an extra comment saying you are.
Giveaway open to all and closes at 9pm Central European Time on May 10th. The winner will be selected at random and announced by May 12th.
I you also want to win som fabric, go to my previous post.

What a generous giveaway. Thank you for participating in the Giveaway Day. I love bags but haven't attempted any with a pattern. I do love the Art Student Tote though.
ReplyDeleteThis little bag looks great! I love how you used fabric from Ikea! that means I'm not the only one who likes to buy fabric there :) I especially like their solids, they're great for linings etc.
ReplyDeleteI have made several bags before, but don't really have a favourite pattern. Currently I have a thing for making totes though lol!

ReplyDeleteI don't think that I've ever made the same bag twice, so I don't really know which one is my favorite - but I think it might be one I made from a pattern knocked off from one I bought. I loved the original (to death!) and making a new one from the remains worked out great!
I'd love to win!
