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!

Hmmm, what would I put in that clutch? Just MY things! Not a diaper, baby wipe or snack in sight!
That is lovely!
This is an adorable little bag... I would most definitely carry my *small* amount of holiday spending cash while I buy a gift or two for the family, and hope that carrying a beautiful handmade purse would inspire me to keep working on my own creative projects to brighten the holiday seasons of friends!
Holly is so cute. I believe she would hold my holiday receipts and lists.

Holly is beautiful!
I can't tell you what I would carry in her, but I can tell you what I wouldn't, no nappies, no grotty burp cloths and no biscuits to cover the lining in crumbs! She would be reserved for grown up use only, no babies junk allowed :)
I love the curvy clutch and the box wallet. Very cute stuff
bwrdavis@telus.net
That cute little bag would be perfect to hold my keys, mini-wallet, and other grown-up things, and it's small enough to tuck into my diaper bag or baby sling.

What a lovely clutch! It would have been a very happy home for my lip gloss and eye drops at the theater this evening!
Ooh, I was going to say that I would love to give gorgeous Holly to my best friend who needs a pick me up. She is clutch-kinda-girl and these are her favourite colours. But alas, an entire ocean lies between us.
Then again, if I would be so lucky to win the patterns I could make her a Clutch Envelope and myself a Box Wallet... two very happy girls!
Thanks for this generous giveaway!

I would keep my daughter's floss picks and lip balm in it inside my purse.

I would love that clutch! I'd carry burt's bees balm and a 50$ bill to my department holiday party for freshening up and buying a round of drinks for my office mates. It'd be the perfect way to pass along the give away spirit no?
