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!)

I love your little pouch - so sweet and well made! My favorite fabrics in this bundle are the two with the little roses - the pink background as my favorite, and the turquoise background as my second favorite. Thank you for the giveaway!!

[Natasha Korzhaeva]

With all my respect to all kind of pink )))) I am a "blue" girl, so the light blue stripes with tiny pink flowers is my favorite ))) Navy blue is the second choice.
And your pouch just wonderful! Please, ...make another one. Or two. Or ... you know ... maybe about infinity more...))) We need to see them all!!! )))

I love all of it! These prints are so sweet, but my favorite is the navy polka dot and floral stripe.

These are so very sweet! And so is the fabric, but I think I like the navy stripe with pink flowers. It has it all. The burst of dark with the navy along with the delicate pink flowers is precious. I love your book! Just got it this week. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!

Oh I'm sorry - don't mean to comment twice, so use this one as my entry. I totally didn't tell you which print is my fav! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pink flowers on white background. Soooo pretty, heck they are all beautiful and thank you so much for the chance to win!!

[Kathleen]

They are all such pretty fabrics! It's funny, ordinarily I would say the cream or the pink one you used on your bag as my favorites, no contest. But I also like the dark blue one with tiny flowers. I usually go for much lighter colors but today, that one catches my eye. It's feminine but strong too. ; )

[Jeannie D]

The little pink flowers on the white background has me swooning! What a darling little bundle.
