It’s that time of year again, yes, for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway!

giveawaydaydec92015

 

Thanks for stopping by!  If you are new to Around the Bobbin, welcome!  I’m Lisa Amundson, and I love to design purse and home decor patterns.  This year, I have also been sewing up and featuring different Tote Bag designs on the blog as well.  Most of those aren’t patterns, just some ideas for a quick sew-up for gifts or for a quick, fun sew. I’m on 15 of 21 Totes, and no I won’t get done this year 🙂

This year, I have two giveaway bundles I am excited to share with you!

2015 Dec Giveaway ATB

Here’s how they are bundled:

 

#1 Purse and Hardware Bundle

The first is the purse and hardware bundle, and it includes the new McKenna Bag pattern (paper or PDF, your choice) and the McKenna Bag Hardware Kit along with the Itty Bitty Totes pattern (paper or PDF, your choice) and the Keychain hardware kit!

  1. I love bags and totes. I’m still not very good at it, but it’s getting easier with each one I do.

  4. I’m working on a quilt for somebody’s wedding and I follow you on Facebook and on Pinterest!

  6. I’m sewing a doll for my niece. It’s my first proper doll and so far it looks cute. Its a gingermelon pattern so it would be hard for it not to look cute. 🙂

  8. I am not working on anything right now. I have a stack of baby blankets, bibs and burp clothes that I need to take pictures of and start an Etsy shop.

  12. I’ve just finished a star quilt top, but I can’t do any more until I get the backing fabric ordered.

  14. I would love to win the Twister bundle. Right now, I am working on a runner to fit the top of my mom’s new TV stand. I made it with my Twister ruler. I have also used the Twister to make a tote bag, and I love how complex the finished project looks even though the ruler makes it easy. I would like to learn more about using Twister and try some more complex projects, like the Christmas tree wall hanging.

  18. I am very slowly working on an EPP hex quilt which will get finished one year soon. Thank you for great giveaway. x

  20. I love making bags! What a great giveaway. I’m working on a sew together bag for my son for Christmas, I’m going to put some special pens/drawing things in it for him. I’m also finishing up my dd’s quilt. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  23. OMG I would love to win Bundle No. 1. This is so unique and I have been wanting to make a new purse. Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway. Happy Holidays to you.

    I would love to win one of the bundles. Thank you for this opportunity

  97. What a great giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try the twister tool for SO LONG. And giving away bag hardware? Genius. Not having that kind of stuff on hand is probably the number one reason I’ve never made a bag. 😉

  98. I’m working on shopping bags for my mom and dress-up clothes for my daughter. Both fun in different ways!

  159. Just made a couple sock snowmen for a work christmas dinner that I’m attending tomorrow.
