Who will receive The Sewing Answer Book?

by

Our giveaway of The Sewing Answer Book ended earlier this week, and it’s time to announce the winner.  I had planned on posting this 2 days ago, but summertime schedules at this house are C-R-A-Z-Y!!  So here it goes today…

As always, we’re using random.org to choose a commenter at random.  The lucky lucky Craft Gossip reader who will soon receive a copy of The Sewing Answer Book in the mail is….

Commenter #5, Melinda $, who says she’d like to learn about,

“So many things… when do I need to adjust the tension? what maintenance is needed to keep my machine in shape? which needle for what? do I need to backstitch on decorative stitches – if so, how without messing up the pattern?”

Melinda R, I’ve sent you an email so I can get your mailing address and get this little book in the mail to you!  Congratulations!!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
