a pinterest tutorial & a simply sweet giveaway

Pinterest. 

I'm trying to remember life without it. 

I can't.

Can you?

I found this Chinese pouch tutorial the other day ... I could not get to my sewing machine fast enough to start making it.

Here's how mine turned out. 

Daughter #1 called dibbs on it already.  Guess I need to make another one.  Or two.  Or ... you know ... maybe about infinity more.

Wanna know where I got the pretty pink floral?  From this, adorable Etsy shop Simply Sweet Fabric.  Such a fantastic selection of tiny florals and pretty prints over there.

If you'd like chance to win this delicious bundle of 8 fat quarters leave me a comment stating which print/color above is your favourite.  Giveaway closes on Sunday, January 26th and I'll announce the winner shortly after.  (Promise I'll remember this time!)

the pink floral is my favorite. The pouch you made is very cute. Thanks for sharing.

[Carol]

All the fabrics are gorgeous!! Must visit that shop! Your little pouch is gorgeous too!!
I think I'd have to pick the black print for my favourite if I had to make a choice. Thanks for the chance to win. You have inspired me to have a closer look at two of my 'bag' pattern books - the instructions are in Japanese but the pictures are good and let's face it, I usually only look at the pictures anyway!!

[Kristy]

Your workmanship is superb. That is one darling little pouch! Hands down my fave fabric in that selection is the white background with delicate pink flowers. Now that I have a granddaughter, I feel like I need some of every beautiful print you have. Kristy
