As you know yesterday was the 14th of May! This is significant to me because I have this little sewing pattern company called:
Now I know what you’re thinking, I should host this little giveaway on the 14th of May not the 15th- and you’d be right- but you may not know that I hit “save” instead of “publish” on this little blog post last weekend— thus… we have a fourteen may pattern giveaway on the fifteenth of May :)
All the patterns are for sale in my shop www.fourteenmay.bigcartel.com. They are all in PDF format which means you order the pattern and get to download it right away!!
I like the PDF format, you can print it from home or you can read the pattern right from your computer.
If you have some type of e-reader device you can use that for the patterns also. Below is a screen shot of my iPad with my July Bag Pattern pulled up in iBooks.
I’ve got a few different types of patterns in there, but my favorites are my bags. Can a girl ever have enough bags???
Four winners will receive EACH of the following patterns:
I love this one because you can make it out of burlap or regular fabric (instructions for both are included)….
I think the burlap makes a great beach bag- I lugged mine around with me all summer last year.
It’s a great travel bag- lightweight and just big enough for the day’s essentials.
The Sunday Bag was designed to be heavy duty enough to carry around all of your books and folders. It would be a great work or church bag.
It might be my favorite- it has a large outside pocket that’s great for stuffing your phone or other little things into.
The pattern includes instructions for making the handles 3 different ways, so you can pick the one that suits you best.
To enter:
Do one or both of the following:
1- Leave a comment on this post
2- Subscribe to this blog- there are links on the side to help you out and leave a separate comment letting me know you did.
Giveaway open until Thursday May 17th at midnight Eastern Time

These patterns are so wonderful! I’m especially loving the burlap one–I recently got a burlap coffee bag here in Hawaii and I think it would be cool made into a bag.
And I don’t know if it counts for this drawing, but I subscriped to your blog last week when I was making the Vintage travel bag! I showed it to my bee this weekend and got rave reviews.

Hello and congrats on hitting your pattern company anniversary! Your bags are really great- its hard to choose a favorite. I don’t have any cross-body bags, so that one might be a fun and useful bag to make. I love good outside pockets that are well integrated into the bag, so that one is a winner, too.
Thanks for doing the giveaway,

SO CUTE!! I love bags.. be it a pattern for a bag or the bag itself. My crazy kids actually refer to me as “The Bag Lady” thats ok I still love them. Maybe not as much as my bags..JK
Thanks for the opportunity to win some amazing bag patterns.

What great bags! I have never actually used a pattern before….these definitely excite me. Most of my projects are done with scraps of fabrics that I’ve collected or old clothing that I’ve saved…sure it may not fit anymore, but I still love the patterns. Or they may even have some significance: first date, wedding, honeymoon, etc. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE Right? Thanks for all the fun ideas and I look forward to trying my hand at these patterns.
I have been a follower for several months and just love reading you blog
