Winner of Sewn With Love by Fiona Bell

February 23, 2011 by Anne Weaver

Thank you for all of your comments entering the Sewn With Love giveaway!  I enjoyed reading about all of the different garments that you remember from your childhood. 

One of my all-time favorite childhood garments was a verrrry 1980’s shorts jumpsuit that my mother made for me.  The fabric was white with all kinds of colorful swooshes and scribbles and such.  I thought I was sooo cool, especially when I wore it with my Jellies shoes (which pinched my toes horribly, but I wore them anyway).

But enough about me and my jumpsuit.  You want to know who won the book, don’t you?  It’s lucky commenter 16, Bethany, who wrote:

I had a shirt with a shopping theme. There was a picture of a girl holding a clear plastic shopping bag. Sandwiched inside the plastic were little plastic clothing items. I loved it.

Bethany, I’ve sent you an email so I can get your contact information and get your book in the mail to you.

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.
