GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED !
If you are a new reader or my bloggy-friend - Welcome!!!
This is my first giveaway on Giveaway Day, I'll try to keep it short and sweet as I know you have many more blogs to visit. Initially my giveaway at Handmade by FarahLin will be for one winner but thought that it would be more fun to have TWO WINNERS instead, don't you agree?
Here are my humble giveaways : Two Small Japanese Knot Bags.
I saw the pattern in a magazine and immediately thought of making one for myself but before trying the pattern out I did ask my quilt group friends whether they were interested in making this bag during one of our weekly meets - love our weekly get together =) and I was so thrilled when they've said YES!!! We did have a few err moments trying to piece our bags as the given instructions were unclear but managed to figure them out and they've turned out pretty! I've made a few eversince - party favors and Teacher's Day gifts.
The bag is approximately 5 1/2" height without handle and 9" wide. It will nicely fit your phone, small wallet and keys. Fill it with your things and push the long handle through the small handle to close!
The one above is made in Amy Butler's Wine Paradise Garden from the Love Collection, lined with Denyse Schmidt's Four Square Piney Woods from the Hope Valley line.
I've used Japanese prints for the one pictured above and the fabrics are 100 % cotton.
All fabrics were pre-washed and they can be washed if they do get dirty.
Giveaway closed !!!
Good Luck to everyone!
I'll be popping over to Sew Mama Sew's blog to check out all the other giveaways and 'meet' new friends in blogland!
Thanks for sticking with me / visiting my blog!
The best handmade gift I've received was just the other day, in fact - my girlfriend made me a tote bag as a birthday gift. It's a big deal because I gave her her first sewing machine about a year ago. She's only just getting into using it now, but it was such a proud moment and it was so meaningful! Can't beat that. :-)

hi! what a lovely giveaway. my preference is blue.
ReplyDeletethe best handmade give i ever received is a batman mask... somehow it fit my face perfectly! my friends know me well enough to know that being batman is one of my dreams... or was, in my childhood! either way, my inner child was super excited.
Best handmade gift was a tote bag made by my daughter when she was 13!!
ReplyDeleteI like the red bag!
best handmade gift I have received would have to be all the lovely things my kids made at school. Preference is blue
ReplyDeleteThe best handmade gift I've ever received is a Mother's Day present my daughter made when she was 4 - a handcrafted utensil holder with twig decorations & hearts painted in pink. It sits on a shelf in my sewing room with other precious things. Thanks for the amazing giveaway, your bags are so beautiful! I love the blue best.
ReplyDeleteThe best gift I ever received was a new Canon SLR digital camera. I prefer the red.
ReplyDeleteLovely bags! I'd prefer the pink one, but the blue one is really cute too.
ReplyDeleteI think the best handmade gift I've ever received was jumpers made by my mother & grand-mother: they felt so comfy they were nearly "appeasing & comforting" (kind of a psychological thing there, I suppose...).
Unfortunately, I haven't received any handmade gifts. My relatives don't craft--only me. I joined a blog swap for a few years and received handmade embroidered items that way, but they don't count as gifts.
ReplyDeleteI'd like the blue bag.

ReplyDeleteSuper pretty - I've never seen a bag like this before.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue bag! Thanks for great giveaway! Best handmade gifts are the ones I make for myself... my bags!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I don't get many handmade gifts as it seems no one else in the family is crafty! So I guess that makes the best handmade gift the Mother's Day card I received from my daughter when she was in the 1st grade, oh some 15 years ago?!
ReplyDeleteMy grandma hand quilted me a queen size quilt for my wedding. I treasure it!
ReplyDeleteA friend made me a cross stitch picture that says "everything in moderation except love" I have displayed it in out living room ever since. I love both of your bags but the red is probably my favorite. I think it would make a perfect sock knitting bag.

ReplyDeleteThe best handmade gift I've ever received is either the wedding dress my grandmother made or the pajama pants my sister made- i still wear them after 6 or more years! Thanks for the giveaway and for reminding me to be grateful for thinking about the time that was put into those gifts!
ReplyDeleteMy best ever handmade gift is the Aeolian shawlette my best friend made for me. She lives 5000 miles away and wearing it is like getting a hug from her.

ReplyDeletemajorasue at hotmail dot com
I love the blue bag. I love both actually but you asked us to choose.
ReplyDeleteThe best handmade gift I received was when my aunt sewed on the binding of two of my quilts for me. I hate sewing on binding and the quilts were both big ones so that was wonderful.
I also love the tiny quilt and hat I got when my son was born premature. They meant so much to us and he still has them tucked away as a special treasure.
What a great give-away FarahLin, I love the blue bag and I love the patern, never saw it before.
ReplyDeleteYhe best handmade gift I ever received was a pincussion made by my Eldest daughter, she made it when she was about 8 years. She used a black fabric with tinsels and she sewed on little glassbeads.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! Both handbags look amazing but I love the blue one the best.
These bags are so cute! Would love to have one of them. My then boyfriend (now husband) made me a beautiful Valentine card when we were in college. He hand decorated it and wrote me a poem.

ReplyDeleteLove the red, thanks for a chance to win.

Your bags are so beautiful, and creative!
ReplyDeleteThe best handmade gift I ever received was a pillow that had a favorite picture of my daughter copied onto the front of it, and it was quilted. I'm still not sure how she made it to this day, but my kids still sleep with the pillow!
Hi there :-) my daughter makes things all the time, and my favourite thing comes from her, a small bracelet she knitted with yarn flowers on it. Beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteYour bags are both lovely, but my favourite is the red one :-) it's my favourite colour!

I always loved handmade dresses from my grandmother. She'd indulge me with more twirly-ness than my mother would.
ReplyDeletecynsaw2(at)yahoo(dot)ca
My mother made me a quilt when she started quilting. I love the bags and would probably prefer the red. Beautiful fabrics. thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend crochets; I knit. We give each other stuff whenever we see each other, which is unfortunately rather hard because up until recently I was living in Germany while he lives in the US. A couple years ago he made me some really cute fingerless mitts with buttons and I still wear them all the time. ^_^
ReplyDeleteBoth of the bags are beautiful! I have a hard time choosing but if you're making me choose I'd love the red one. ^_^
Awww....that is so sweet, making things for each other, thanks for sharing. By the way, you did not state your email address, please email me your contact for the draw, thanks.

ReplyDeleteThe best handmade gift I ever received was a doll that my grandmother knitted me when I was about 12 - I still have it and it is much treasured :) If I win, I would LOVE the red bag :)
ReplyDeleteLovely bags ... they look perfect for a knitted sock project. I think that my favourite gift would have to be the quilt that my mother handstitched while she was pregnant with me. I grew up hearing stories about how she lay on the couch watching the 1974 Commonwealth Games as she was sewing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this chance ... oh .. and i think I would choose red, but either would be appreciated
