Guest Post: Jessica does a giveaway!

Remember Jessica's moccasin tutorial?  Luck for you she made an extra pair.  Yay!  We're giving them away to one of you!  Just in case you are too busy to make some yourself.  They measure 4.5 inches from heel to toe and would probably be a 3 - 6 month size or 6 - 9 month size depending on the baby's feet.  

 

To enter, leave a comment!  I'll pick a winner next Monday :) Good Luck!

Giveaway!!

I realize that some people don't sew (what?!!)  So here is a giveaway for a little brown pair of corduroy baby shoes.  They are 0-6 mo size, uber cute, and green on the inside.  For those of you who don't win, this project takes about 15 minutes.  So go make your own!!

Leave a comment and I'll choose a winner Friday :)

52 Finishes-Week 19:Car Roll and City Giveaway

I was trying to come up with something that Max can play with at church.  Something that is easy to carry around, and doesn't take up much space.  He loves cars and "vrrrrrrr's" them (How do boys just know what sounds to make?) all over.  There are car roll tutorials out there, and also city mat tutorials, but none that have both (that I found).  I decided to make one of my own.  So I picked out some cute fabric, I love pokadots and plaid, and got to cutting.  I love that this car roll closes up with a button and elastic, I like it more than tying a ribbon (cause kids can't do that very easily) .

There are pockets for the cars to park in

And it all rolls up nice and snug- with access to just the cars if you don't want to play with the whole city.

Although who wouldn't want to play with the whole city?!  I debated on sewing on buildings, trees and streets, but I wanted to play with my silhouette machine a little bit.  So why not combine the two resources? So the city is made out of vinyl, and I ironed it on.

So whatcha think? Wanna come over and play?

You can't, cause you live too far away?  Ah Man!  That's OK though, I'm working on a tutorial right now.  It would have been ready, but you know, I have kids to take care of :)  However I did have time to sew 2 of these, so I'm giving one of them away! (Cars NOT included)  Leave a comment on this post, and when I put the tutorial out next week sometime, I'll announce the winner!

This week is the final week of September Sewing Month! I can't believe its almost over. I had fun....but I'm ready to post about my babes again (Max is HUGE!!) Whatcha think, should we make this a yearly thing? Is there anything you're still dying to see (this week I'm doing a tutorial on appliques, toys for girls and boys, and another surprise giveaway). Is there something you just wish I had shown you though?

National Sewing Month

Did you know, September is my favorite month for several different reasons. First, my birthday is in September. Second, its national sewing month...


The observance of National Sewing Month began in 1982 with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan declaring September as National Sewing Month “In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation.” (find out more here)


So this month my blog is going to be all about, you guessed it, SEWING. I'm doing giveaways, tutorials, guest posts, and showing off projects. I'm really excited! I think it's going to be grand.


Ever wonder how to hem pants? I'll teach you! What about applique? No problem! I'll tell you all about my favorite sewing techniques, some tips and tricks I've picked up along the way, and how to use some of those crazy sewing devices. Stay tuned my friends, because its going to be a good month.


Lets kick it off my announcing my 3 years of blogging giveaway winners....

City Mat Winner

Thanks for all the name suggestions! Some of them included some of my favorite names, and others were fun to read, but I don't think I'd use them... I'm more of a "traditional" names person. And thank you for all the comments! I love comments and was hoping to get 25 of them, I was shocked and excited to break 100...122 to be precise! Thanks again!! I know I spelled school wrong, totally my bad, I just mixed up my letters when I was sewing them on, I'll fix it before I mail it out.
So without anymore delay, the winner is comment number 32

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway... City Play Mat

Hello friends! I've always wanted to participate in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day... and now I am! Make sure to check out the other bloggers having a giveaway too

OK so lets get to the goods... I'm having a baby boy in a few months, and I've already been thinking about boy gift ideas. Let me tell you, I have a very girly little girl, so it's quite a change of thinking. This play mat was my trial to see if I can do boy... I think it was a success! Made out of scrap fabric and felt, this little town could keep your little man entertained at church, in the car, at home, in a plane... I think just about anywhere. There are buildings, cars, trees, a boat, pond and roads to explore. All the pieces fit into a pocket on the back for easy storage!

To win this play mat all you have to do is leave a comment (please no "PICK MEs"), and if you feel so inclined share with me some Boy names, because I have no idea what we should name our little man. You have until Dec. 6th to enter, I'll announce the winner on the 7th... Oh please leave me someway to contact you, if I don't hear back from the winner by the 8th, I'll pick someone new. Sorry, no international shipping this time. I guess that's it...thanks for stopping by!

And the winners are...

Wow! thanks for all the comments! I was so excited to break 20 comments, my husband told me I was silly. I bet you're here to find out if you won.... let's see.

Winner 1: Workman's hat

Winner 2: baby boy package

Winner3: baby girl package

Winner 4: wallet

If you did not win you can still get an item, you will have to buy it though. just tell me what you want and we'll work it out. you can shoot me an email, or leave me a comment. I'm in the middle of creating an online store, and I'll probably have another giveaway when I open it, so keep checking back with me. Thanks again, and congrats to all the winners!

Winners please send me your address in an email so i can send 'em off to you. (unless i will see you in real person soon SHAVONNE!)
