It’s PursePalooza!

It’s June, and that means it’s Purse Palooza over at Sew Sweetness! Sara has organized a month of posts on her blog all about making purses. Every weekday will bring 2 guest bloggers with purse sewing pattern reviews. She’s also got a giveaway scheduled for EACH WEEKDAY in June. That’s 20 giveaways, folks! And, at the end of the month, you’ll have a chance to enter a purse you make into a contest. And guess who will be one of the judges? Some dorky girl named Anne… Hee hee!! I’m so excited!!

Go to her introduction post to read more about the Purse Palooza goings on and see the schedule of pattern reviews.

She also just posted a rundown of the 1st place prize package for the purse contest. Check it out here.
