***This giveaway is now closed***
Today Sew Mama Sew is holding their annual giveaway day! If you are new here, Hello!! I hope that you will “poke around” a bit and find something that you like!
As part of the Giveaway Day, I’m giving away one each of the PDF sewing patterns in my shop, fourteen may. I’ll choose 4 winners on May 25th. The patterns will be emailed to you! If you decide to buy one in my shop, you can download the pattern yourself with a link sent to you at checkout! Easy and Quick! (if for any reason you have trouble downloading, just sent me an email and I can email your pattern instead).
First up is the Sunday Bag,
I designed this bag for with a friend of mine in mind. She always has a bunch of books and file folders to tote around with her on Sunday, so I came up with this bag. It’s very sturdy and great for toting around with you to church, school or work.
This bag was born when my 15 year old daughter came into my craft room and handed me a post it note and said “I want a bag that looks like this…”… She had scrawled a little sketch of a purse onto the note.
I did my best and the March Bag is the result. It comes with 3 different handle options all on the same pattern.
The bag also comes with cutting directions for using either fat quarters OR yardage.
It’s been the best selling sewing pattern that I have. It’s easy to construct, using ONLY 4 fat quarters.. (in addition to various linings). It makes a great bag for summer traveling.
I designed it as my “go to” bag for the beach or the pool. It’s a great size and perfect for stuffing with sunscreen, goggles and a great magazine to read!
It’s lined with fabric and the outside is made from reinforced burlap (I tell you how to reinforce the burlap in the pattern). You could also make it from upholstery weight fabric.. but I love the burlap (hides the sand!)
Here it is stuff full of my “junk” on a recent trip to the beach!
The pattern also comes with instructions for making the fabric flower pin that is attached to the front.
To enter:
ONE- Leave a comment here… let me know one thing that you’d love to see a tutorial for this summer! It can be sewing, quilting, home decor… you name it! I’d love to gather some good suggestions for my “summer to do” list!!
TWO- For a second entry, you can either tweet, blog or facebook a link to this giveaway!
It’s that easy, 2 chances to win.
Giveaway open until May 25th! and don’t forget to go check out the other giveaways today over at Sew Mama Sew!

Great bags! I’m always looking for easier ways to make curtains if you know anything about that!
wow! I am so impressed. I wish I could design my own patterns, but apparently my brain is lacking some important understanding somewhere. Your bags are beautiful. Owe I would be hard pressed to tell you one thing I would like to see a tutorial on. I will tell you a few things that I am either currently working on/ learning or are on my to-do list; refinishing furniture the easiest right way, quilting, re-usable snack bags that are both convenient and safe, finding the perfect purse for me, learning how to use up scraps and the item not looking nice and not too scrapy. I could keep going, but I will stop there. Thanks for such a lovely giveaway. Have a great day.
I love the June bag! How cute and it would be perfect for a few of my toddler’s things as well as mine. I would love to see a tutorial on dresden plates. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi Love the patterns especially the July bag.
As for tutorials I would love one for a pocketed wall/door tidy with different sized pockets and some pretty embellishment.
I’d love to see some things that are kid friendly. I have a 9 year old daughter who wants to learn to sew.
I love the bags!!! I would like to see something for boys!

Love they July Bag! I would love to see a tutorial for a cute dress for my daughter!
I don’t know if you have done a tutorial on the kinds of interfacingyou use for your bags. I think that would be great information to have. Thank you. Take care and God bless, Cory
How about a beach umbrella or canopy or similar?
I am totally intrigued with oilcloth lately. so any projects using that would be so fun for summer!

Eeeek – I have a soft spot for tote and purse patterns! Love ‘em! I would love a “tutorial” or some ideas on how to take a pattern-made bag and “make it my own”… like embellishments or little extras that could change up any pattern a bit and just give it an extra little personalization. Thanks for the chance to win your patterns – they are fantastic!
First off I’m in love with the July Bag! I mean how cute would that be to tote around this SUmmer
As for a summer tute…I would love a child’s beach hat. I want to make some to go with the sundresses I’ve made and I haven’t really found a good pattern/tute on one.

Gorgeous bags! I love the July one…partly because that is the month of my birthday.
For a tutorial…I’m a beginner quilter/sewer and would love to know more about binding quilts and how to close a seam up when you’ve turned right sides out. (Like you sew right sides together for a burpcloth and then turn it out through the hole. But HOW do you close the hole without stitches showing?? Mystery to me!
