Happy blogiversary to me! And here's to you for reading me for a whole year!!
I really have enjoyed blogging this past year - I had a lot of changes, and I feel like blogging really gave my life some consistency. Those changes will continue this year, and I am looking forward to the steadiness of blogging and the fun of sewing and crafting with you! Sooo, my dear readers, to thank you - I have made a tote bag that one of you will win!
The giveaway will run from 3/8/11-3/15/11. That's one week. You have to check back to see if you won.
I will not email you...check back. I will announce the winner on Wednesday March 16th.
Mark your calender. Set an alarm on your phone.
So here's how you can enter:
1. Leave a comment on any post for the next week.
Old posts, new posts, doesn't matter. The more comments you leave, the more times you are entered to win. Plus, I love to hear your thoughts :)
2. Become a follower of Sew Homegrown, if you are not one already.
(please don't become a follower just for the giveaway - only if you really want to follow this blog)
3. Blog about this giveaway, tweet, or post it on Facebook - leave me a comment here letting me know you did that.
Three different ways to enter!
Here's a little more information about the bag -
I made it using Heather Ross's Pattern for her "Everything Tote".
The outside is a soft, but sturdy linen and the inside is lined with silk plaid. It has one pocket with two sections - one that will fit the Iphone or Smartphone.
I reinforced the handle attachment point, because I really like to stuff my tote bags. It would be the perfect bag for a Farmer's Market on a spring morning, or the fabric store on a Saturday afternoon.
Good luck my sweet readers - I'm off to CA today -
beautiful sunshine here I come!
