meet holly... yet another GiVeAwAy!!

this is holly. how sweet is she?! she was created using the curvy clutch pattern from keyka lou.


i modified her a little~ the curvy clutch has darts in the bottom, but holly has none.


she is constructed of 100% cotton~ michael miller's ginger blossom on the outside and amy butler's cherry dot inside (is that allowed? mixing designers? well hrmph, i did it anyway!)


so here she is, all gussied up and festive, ready to assist you with your holiday shopping. she will hold your cash, gift cards or coupons. she can keep keys, sunglasses or lip balm from getting lost at the bottom of your bag. or maybe she will make a special appearance in someone special's christmas stocking!



if you would like to give holly a good home simply leave me a little comment on this post and share with me what you would carry in this little clutch!

and, for those of you who sew, michelle at keyka lou has generously offered one of you any 2 patterns from her shop! you can make your own little curvy clutch, or a pixie handbag like the one i blogged about recently. or both! the choice is yours! visit keyka lou's etsy shop and then come back and let me know which patterns are your favorite.

feel free to enter both giveaways~ you will need to leave 2 seperate comments to do this. please make sure i am able to contact you through your blog or e-mail. i am only able to ship holly to US adresses only, but the patterns are sent via e-mail so anyone is welcome to enter. i will randomly choose 2 winners on sunday december 7th.

for more fabulous handmade giveaways visit sew, mama, sew for a list of bloggers participating in GiVeAwAy DAY!

HaPpY Handmade HoLiDaYs!

What a sweet little bag. It would be perfect for lipstick and a little powder.

What a cute little clutch! I would put my wallet and my go-to lip gloss in it, so my 2 year old little girl would not always be playing with both.

LynAnne Smucker said...

I would have to use this just for special outings, just id, a little cash, a lipstick, a pen and small pad of paper (for notes and ideas of course). I love all the patterns, but my two favorites would have to be the city tote and the project tote, though the pixie handbag is super cute too.

What I would put in your lovely pouch, by Tracey

What I want to put in it: Winning lottery ticket, tea bag for my figure, to do list with everything checked off and a scrap of paper with Johnny Depp's phone number on it.

What I will really put in it: A quarter, hot tamales, balled up wads of who knows what, stale cheerios, and a parking ticket.

Did I win??? ;)

Brooke said...

I love it! In all honesty it would probably end up being filled with my children's things. Small things to keep them busy during church :)

Unknown said...

Love it! Sign me up! :)

Anonymous said...

I think I would put my keys and chapstick and nail clippers in it. Then maybe I would have a small chance at actually knowing where my keys are :P

...and my favorite pattern? I can't choose between the clutch and the pixie handbag. They're both adorable! I'd probably say the handbag though, so I could sew it for my big-purse loving friends.

Ronnie said...

What a little looovelie! I'd put inside: a pot of gloss, some tic tacs, biz cards and of course my cell phone.

Love this! I think I'd use it as an everyday purse - which means keys, lipgloss, and my cell phone. I'm guessing some fabric scraps and thread will find their way there, too... they always do!
