It's December, and Giveaway Day hosted by SewMamaSew.com! To help spread holiday cheer, I'm giving away this handmade vinyl totebag filled with 32 different pieces from my Christmas fabric stash, which was collected over three decades.
These cute Christmas light window clings were at the dollar store--naturally I asked myself how they might be used in a sewing project, and I thought of a remnant of clear vinyl I had on hand. The bag is 3" deep, and measures 11"x13" inches. It's made of two layers of vinyl, with the window clings in between.
I'm including 32 pieces of Christmas fabrics, in random sizes from about 2"x4" to about 6"x7", which have been collected over time. I hope they inspire projects and ideas!
The winner must be located in the USA, as I'm planning on shipping within the country. Here are the rules:
1. Leave a comment to enter. Remember to leave your e-mail address or I won't be able to contact you if you win.
2. If you're a follower, enter twice! Just leave another comment.
3. Comments will be accepted until Sunday, December 6 at 10:00am.
I'll choose a winner by random number generator on Sunday, December 6 and notify the winner.

My grandmother taught ME to sew and I absolutely love it, so I'm constantly perusing fabric and craft stores for material. Fabric scraps are wonderful- so much potential! What a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love tidbits of fabric...especially old fabric!
ReplyDeleteHow festive! How cute too. :)
ReplyDeleteHow great. My email is amberrpolk @ yahoo(dot)com.
ReplyDeleteScrap lover here! I find scraps so inspiring. Love the bag you made to showcase them. As much as I adore fabric, I could use the scrap-filled bag as a decoration in my studio!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower so here's my first comment, love the tote great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm making little mini purses using those little chunky bangle bracelets as handles and scrap fabric for the bags for all the little girls in my daughter's ballet class (there are only 5 of them) to carry their little ballet shoes in. Half of us just carry them in our hands the other half tote the little cardboard box the shoes came in, I figured this way they'd have something cute to carry them in. This is going to use up most of my Christmas fabric stash so it'd be nice to be able to replenish it if I won. :) My email is cprice0129 (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteThis would be the best to win! Sew many neat things...and the bag is to die for!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway!
Merry Christmas!

This bag is amazing!! When I first got maried and started having kids I ended up getting rd of most of y huge collection of purses with the promise that I would get new ones when the girls were not needing a diaper bag anymore! the day has come so this would be a well welcomed addition to my new purse collection! (I've been making purses out of scrap fabric too so this would come in handy in SO many ways! Thanks for the chance to win it!

How fun, in a very, you have not been collecting fabric for a long time kind of way!
