In celebration of winning the fabulous christmas fabric prize from The Fat Quarter Shop and also to celebrate reaching 100 followers, I'm having a
GIVE-A-WAY!
This is ONE bag - different fabrics on each side!
I made this one a little different to the pattern....
I have stitched the outside pockets down along the bottom of the bag, as I found that items would sneak under the bag and I would spend ages looking for them!
and..
I have added pockets to the inside of the bag.. a girl can't have enough pockets!!
I have made a firm base to slide into the bottom of the bag too as that helps keep the bag in shape!
Why did I use different fabrics in constructing this bag??? because my prize was Fat Quarters! so there was not enough of any one fabric to make the bag in the usual way!
Second Prize!!
(winner will be chosen from follower # 103 onwards)
A Christmas shopping bag!
This is a great pattern by Geta at Geta's Quilting Studio - check out Geta's site as she has many patterns, some free and others you can buy.
Once again, this is just ONE bag, using different fabrics on each side. It is also fully reversible!
Now to the rules of this give-a-way.....
1. First Prize will be awarded to one of my CURRENT FOLLOWERS - please leave a comment that you are one of my now 102 followers!
2. Second Prize will be awarded to one of my NEW followers who becomes a follower as a result of reading about my give-a-way!! Please leave a comment.
3. Please note, if you are a "no reply" status in your profile, your entry is not valid. If you wish to enter my give-a-way competition, please check your profile status.
Okay, so that's it!! This give-a-way will run until midnight November 22nd, 2010 (Brisbane time :-))
Thanks everyone! Give-a-ways are lots of fun - I've made the rules easy-peasy .. so let the give-a-way begin!!
