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!

::comments are closed~ WiNnErS will be posted soon! HUGE THANKS to all who entered!!

I'd put in my little purse mirror, some lipstick, my I.D. and some cash for a night out on the town.

I'd try my hand at the curvy clutch.

Jo (sparkly green knickers) said...

What a sweet little purse. Just big enough to carry my keys and little coin purse!

yay - gotta love a giveaway! I am running my own little one - so lets hope what goes around comes around! I would love the curvy clutch pattern from keyka Lou (if it looks as good as your when im done!) the half moon handbag also looks great!

Michelle said...

I would use this to keep my coupons and cash in my diaper bag. I don't have a purse anymore, and things tend to drift to the bottom of the diaper bag, never to be seen again. This would be great (and beautiful)!

Little Munchkins said...

I love the Pixie Handbag and would love to sew one up myself. Thanks for the giveaway.

Anonymous said...

I would like to try and use it but probably stick it in my purse with goodies in it, small things to keep track of!

Lomagirl said...

I would put my cell, my keys and my credit card in here, and carry it away.

Your work is simply fabulous!

I would like to say FIRST: thank you for participating in this little giveaway 'movement' -- my universe has expanded lately in the whole etsy/handmade movement and how it has become much more accessible globally (I've always tried to buy local/handmade/homegrown items).

Anyway, thank you again - by participating, you've done a huge thing. I really believe this will have an amazing impact on a world where corporate greed is running rampant!

As to what I would carry in this absolutely ADORABLE clutch? If I decided not to give it to my sons absolutely precious girlfriend that I love so dearly for a Christmas pressie, I would put my great raspberry lipstain and gloss, my mascara, my drivers license, my bankcard, my keys, and some personal info cards I have a 'vision' of creating.

Of course receipts and other whatnots will end up in there eventually, but for the time being I will imagine it as being new and fresh and having no clutter whatsoever!

Have a beautiful holiday season. May it be filled with all the happiness, peace, and love you can imagine!

Cute, cute, cute. I think a chapstick, a few dollars and maybe a debitcard would fit well in here.

Alisa said...

I just love the fabric that the clutch is made out of. I would carry something that I use a lot in it so that everyone could see me using such cuteness!

Dandelion Quilts said...

What a nice giveaway! Many thanks and happy holidays! I would carry girlie girl stuff in the clutch...especially when toting a bag.

Lovely clutch, i would put my keys and mobile in it with my favourite lip gloss.
The patterns are fab, I think I would choose the half-moonbag and the pixie bag. But then there's the City Tote!

Rachel said...

Erika,

I love the pattern for the city tote...I homeschool and have an infant so there are lots of things I could use that bag for. :)

This Pixie Handbag is my fave pattern I think.

lizzy said...

the bright contrasting patterns are awesome.
i'd carry a little handmade felt notebook, my favourite burts bees, and some hair ribbons.

Cathy Holt said...

I love that fabric on mini tote bag. A perfect bag as a portable sewing kit for on road... maybe contain some needles, threads, buttons, small scissors, few generic buttons, patches, etc to mend up something brokem really quickly. Or it can be a festive first aid kit tote.

Christie said...

I like the pixie clutch pattern and the luggage grips. Thanks for the offer.

Christie said...

I would keep chap sticks and such in it but I'd likely lose it to my tween so it won't matter. :)

Anonymous said...

ooh, that's easy - a few dollar bills, my license and credit card, that's all a girl needs!

Jessica said...

beautiful job erika! and no, there was no faux pas with the mixing of the fabrics! LOL

ok, what would I carry in it? lipbalm, maybe my checkbook and debit card. and probably a knitting needle or crochet hook for when I am out and about on the run with family and working on a project.

Jessica said...

for the patterns, I would choose:

pixie handbag
small satchel

Jenn said...

What a great little clutch! I haven't carried anything smaller than a suitcase since I adopted my girls (just kidding!) Thanks for the opportunity to win!

For the patterns I would love the Pixie purse or the tote bag. Thanks again!

Caitlin said...

She is so beautiful! I would definitely have to use her to go grocery shopping and carry my wallet and any coupons I might have.

holly | bijou lovely said...

I think the Holly clutch would be perfect for me...especially since my name is Holly! I'd put my phone, ID, credit card and lip gloss in it and take it out with me!

holly | bijou lovely said...

Ooo! I'm not too late after all! I would carry my chap stick (to which I am admittedly addicted), and probably some much less exciting things like money and maybe a tissue or two. It is so adorable - you've done such a great job! (and the fabrics are perfect - melding designers; I like it!)

Anonymous said...

...And, from KeykaLou's giveaway, I really love the curvy clutch and the city tote. Okay, who am I kidding - I loved them all! But you said pick two, so there we are.

Thank you so much for this giveaway! It's been so much fun, has it not?
