Sew Mama Sew Giveaway: Handmade Patchwork Weekender

Hi! Welcome to my little corner o' blog land.

A little about me:


  • My name is Jennie.
  • I am a pattern designing, baking, homeschooling mama of five.
  • I love the Avengers, Jane Austen, Indian food, lemon bars, motorcycles, and fabric. Especially fabric.
  • I've got an Etsy shop and a Craftsy shop - check them out if you're interested. Links to the right.
  • I might be a little obsessed with Amy Butler's Weekender bag pattern.
So there's your prize. Enter to win your very own, custom patchwork Weekender bag in the current fabric line of your choice (has to be available in Jelly Roll, Charm Pack, or Layer Cake form).

Here's just a few of the ones I've made, for myself and for friends too:


Just leave me a comment and let me know which fabric line you'd choose. There are so many fun choices out there!

The fine print:
  • Giveaway is open until Sunday, May 10 at 5 p.m. PST
  • Giveaway is open to all participants - I will ship internationally!
  • Winner will be notified immediately via e-mail and we will start consulting about your bag.
  • I'll need a month to acquire the fabric and make the bag, so shipping will be approx. June 14th.
  • If you are a no-reply blogger, you can't win. So if you don't get a reply from me, know that you need to fix that, or just leave your e-mail just in case. Better safe than sorry!
  • Good luck, and have fun!

  2. I've always loved your weekender bag. What a special, special giveaway prize. Aloha Girl, (by Fig Tree) would be my choice. Thank You for this chance :)!

  3. Oh my goodness! I would love to win this! I was going to say Cotton + Steel Mochi but I don't think that comes in Jelly Rolls. So if not Mochi then I would say "Hello Darling" by Bonnie and Camille. Thank you for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  4. This has to be my favourite giveaway, it would be truly wonderful to have a bag made for me - thank you. I've had a browse of jelly rolls and love the look of Figures by Zen Chic or Cotton and Steel basics.

  5. I'm not overly picky or loyal fan...as far as fabric lines go....I purchase mainly by color...is that bad? By day I am an artist and art teacher [by night a quilter] so wild lavish colors would be ideal in my corner of the world...[great for hiding inks, paints and spills]. Especially fond of teal, aqua, indigo, purple brown, chocolates and rust at the moment...but then my color loves change as frequently as the wind blows. :) These bags are DELIGHTFUL! sowingstitches ]at[ gmail [dot] com

  6. First, this is AMAZING! Seriously, amazing! Now... what fabric?! That's so hard! If it were released, I'd say "modern minis" by riley blake... but I don't think that hits the shelves until mid-late June? So I'd probably say "Social Club" by Moda. :) You rock for offering such a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'd be over the moon if I won this! What a wonderful, generous gift! So hard to choose from so many great fabrics but I think I'd go with Lakeside Gatherings or Daysail. Thanks so much for the chance to have one of your lovely bags! I'm a beginner so-not able to make one yet myself!

  164. Hi Jennie. Love, love, love this bag pattern. Have never tried a bag. I'm still much of a beginner and need to master quilts first I think. I too love the Avengers....and Star Wars. As for fabric line. I do looove petal and plume. However for a bag like this I would be thinking maybe less is more. Not sure. Delivery date sounds great. I will turn 40 on June 16th. This would make an awesome 40th birthday present!! You can catch me at rachel dot carson @ smooth dot net dot au. Have a wonderful weekend. :) :) :)

  165. Oh wow. I love all the bags you have made and have drooled over each in awe. I think it would look amazing in the new Lori Holt or Zen Chic Reel Time.

If I am so lucky as to win one of your lovely bags, I think I couldn't get anything brighter or happier than Paradiso from Kate Spain. My email is:stamatia(dot)ntonopoulou(at)gmail(dot)com.

  183. When I saw this I hesitated to even enter, because I’m so humbled by your incredible generosity. This is like giving away a piece of your heart! But as Jane Austen observed, “Nobody minds having what is too good for them,” so here is my entry! I would love a weekender, and my current favorite lines are Melanie Testa’s Meadowlark, Anna Maria Horner’s Folk Song, and Amy Butler’s Violette. But really, I’d be delighted with anything you choose. Your bags are beautiful. Thanks for this opportunity to enter, and thanks for your inspiring blog!

    ReplyDelete
  184. Oh I've just been swooning on Morning Walk by Leah Duncan! Great bag, I have not heard of Amy Butler's weekender bag. I guess it's time for me to check it out!!
