Welcome to my second giveaway for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! The 241 Tote is one of my favourite bag patterns, and this one is made in some Spring/Summer fabrics for one of you! It has a zippered exterior pocket, magnetic snap closure, two inside slip pockets, and is made with a mixture of designer fabrics.
Want to win this 241 tote for yourself? I love online shopping, and thought I'd ask you all a question about it: what kind of purchases have you had success with buying online or is there a particular store you would recommend?
For a second entry, become a fan of my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter. Just leave a second comment telling me which one you did.
Winner will be picked by random.org on May 25 after 5pm PST. Will ship international. Good luck!

1 – 200 of 287 Newer› Newest»My latest purchase was some sigma pens and fabric pastels from Amazon. Love ordering from them!
Wow I just finished making one of these for me but would love to have another - especially as it's very different from mine. Online shopping? Best for me is fabric from the US (I'm in the UK) as it's much cheaper and service is so speedy! thanks for the chance to win
I like your facebook page
I buy mainly farbic online.
Love the bag! I've had good success on etsy and I only buy fabric. I love Sew Lux and you can win a gift certificate to their shop on my blog. =)
I get fabric online. I love The Intrepid Thread.
I love Etsy. My favourite is BlackBearyMountain for waldorf inspired dolls. I couldn't find anything like it near me and the postage was really quick and not too expensive. Loved the whole experience.
I love online shopping too! I buy all of my fabric online (hawthorne threads)....that reminds me, I think I need to do some online shopping now! ; )
I follow you facebook page!
I love shopping from Amazon.com. I just purchased a lamp yesterday from there, I hope it helps with the sewing. The lighting stinks in my house.
I'm following via Twitter.
That is a beautiful tote! I don't do a lot of online shopping, but when I do it is usually on Amazon or Ebay.
Love the bag! Adorable! I don't purchase too much on line, but like to go through Amazon. Thanks for a chance.
Liked you on Facebook:)
The only thing I buy online is fabric (and notions) so I'm not helping a lot!
And I've been in love with this pattern, maybe I should buy it if I don't win ?
Thanks for the chance !
i've bought quite a few things online. the fat quarter shop is great for fabric stuff. i haven't had any problems with them so far! :)
you can reach me at supersharmie at gmail dot com :)
I have bought thread from Connceting Threads with good succes. I bought a FMG book from Martingales with no problem...
I buy almost everything through Amazon. Just ask the UPS guy. He knows the way to my house by heart!
Every time I see a picture of a bag made with this pattern, I think that I would like to have one! The problem is I have never made a bag, and it makes me a bit nervous... so winning this lovely one that you made would be awsome! As for online shopping - I do my crafty shopping locally, but I love diapers.com for the various and many things that I need for my daughter!
I buy lots of material online as it is cheaper to get overseas than here in New Zealand.
Already follow you on Twitter @MichellsPlace
I've been ordering a lot of washi tape and zippers lately :) I get 95% of my tape from Soury of Kawaii Goodies on etsy and get my zippers from Jenni of Zipit. They're both awesome. :)

i do most of my fabric shopping online and i love it this way, as it is really hard to come by nice fabric in good quality and not super expensive in switzerland
I love online shopping, particularly fabrics From places like Pink Chalk Fabrics, Hawthorne Threads, The Intrepid Thread & smaller Etsy shops like Pink Castle Fabrics & Sew Fresh Fabrics - always a happy shopping experience from stores like these. Thanks for the lovely giveaway, such a beautifully made bag.
I am following you on Twitter @mimistarquilter!!
I only buy fabric online - thanks for the chance the bag is pretty, love the fabrics!!
Quilt Sandwich on Etsy has lovely things and your fabric comes wrapped up in tissue like it's a gift!
My favorite online shop has to be Etsy. Amazingly diverse handmade goods without heat, bugs, crowds of people and the like. Though I still love a craft show for the chance to actually talk to the makers.
Thanks for the chance to win this lovely bag!
I love Amazon for the things that I need to read reviews about and Etsy for anything cute! christina112358 at gmail dot com
I love this bag!! I've ordered fabric and supplies from online shops. I've never had any issues with my purchases from the many stores I ordered from.
I love the colors in that bag--great giveaway! I shop a lot at Amazon, but for fabric I head to Greenfairyquilts.com or christaquilts.wordpress.com.
Great bag!
I mostly buy 'coupons' online from groupon and living social. It is a great way to save money on things to do this summer with the kids or services that would would have to buy anyway like hair cuts :)
I don't really shop on line. Actually I look a lot, but I haven't really bought on line. I still like to touch and feel things. I need to get over that because there are some great etsy shops with beautiful things!
I follow your blog!
I don't shop online much. I guess i jsu tlikethe to be able to see,touch and even smell whatever it is I am purchasing.
Lovely bag and thanks for the chance to win.
I buy tons of stuff from Amazon because we are very retail-deprived in my local area. I really love to shop with Etsy and online fabric vendors - fabric shopping is the best shopping there is! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway - love the bag!
I am now following you on Twitter!
About the only thing that I order online is e-books, and Amazon is the place for that, or hatching eggs, lol, and I go to either EBay or Backyard Chickens for those.
I purchase almost everything online, except grocery-items. Everything includes clothing, books, fabric and supplies, and household decorative items.

I buy nearly all my books from amazon! I also buy a lot of fabric online too!
I purchased from Etsy, a cash wallet a couple of years ago and I still use it today! It's from The Laughing House... I need another one soon though :)
I would love to win this!
I buy a lot of stuff on ETSY. I try to buy handmade gifts if I can't make them myself. I want my money to go to crafters rather than chain stores.
I am very careful with online shopping and stick with trusted sites like amazon and etsy. wish I could give you more info.... thanks for great giveaway!
following on facebook! Thanks
Got to give Etsy my love for easy ordering and great satisfaction! Thanks for the giveaway!
my favorite online fabric stores are hawthorned threads, pink castle fabrics, and fabricworm. i've always had great experiences with them!
and i follow you on fb!
I don't buy a lot online - I have to touch something before I know if I like it, and returning is such a hassle.
I generally only buy fabric online.
Love this bag - now following on Twitter xxx
I recently bought new prescription glasses and sunglasses online from WarbyParker.com--$95 prescription included, free shipping and returns! Prescription sunnies are $150. They also have a free 5-day try-on program. Seriously just the best customer service I've ever encountered online and so easy!
I buy a lot online, mostly through amazon. I love no tax and free 2 day shipping with prime membership. Also, I have spent more money than I care to think about at both zappos and endless.

I think i buy most things online, it's much cheaper for one, and I don't get distracted by other nice things (more of an issue food shopping) but it does help.
My next purchase will definitely be aurifil thread though. I've read so much about it but kept putting off buying it, now it's everywhere i just can't resist!
I buy online all the time! Amazon.com is my favorite in general. I love ordering fabric fabric.com and many other stores.
I liked your FB page.
I'm not a big online purchaser. Amazon is probably our most frequent place...lots of books bought there :)
Love it, thanks so much for the chance! I have used Marmalade Fabrics for good prices on Kona Cottons because I can't buy them locally.
I mostly shop on Amazon and (Etsy of course). One tip I would give you however is to always make sure to use paypal. I have been burned quite a bit on online stores and using paypal makes it so easy to get your money back if you have any problems.
Love your color choices! The fabrics you pick are fabulous! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like to shop online. My favorite site is Amazon. But I really love fabric.com also.
I follow your blog;)
I really only make online purchases from amazon. I've gotten a bunch of random stuff, and it has all been a decent price and I haven't really had any problems yet. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love ebay... I got some really cheap things within the last days... mainly for my kids..
I love shopping at Amazon.com because of the free shipping with prime membership. I also buy quite a bit from etsy. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love this handbag! Where don't I shop online? I seem to be doing it more these days as I find what I'm looking for much easier. I like to use paypal when ever I can. I just recently ordered from Joanns. I order from Etsy too, love to browse there! And I ordered some lovely felt from Americanfeltandcraft.com. I think I'm becoming addicted!
I buy most of my fabric on line and it is usually successful. I've had two bad experiences and they were both with small stores, one on Etsy and one that I just saw on a blog. In the first my credit card was misused. The second didn't send me all the fabric I paid for. Sad... as I am sure most small stores are honest.
I'm a Facebook fan...and a fan of my niece in real life. aunt Alida
Favorite place to online shop is Craigslist haha!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I have admired this bag pattern from afar. I would love to win! My favorite place to purchase items online is Amazon. I usually qualify for free shipping and they have always been reliable.
I'm a bargain hunter so most every thing I buy is online. My husband and I just bought some granite tile for our kitchen online! That was a big purchase. It arrives tomorrow :) Love the bag!
Liked you on facebook.
I'm fortunate that most of my online purchases have been very successful. Amazon is the go-to for many things, and I can find obscure and/or inexpensive books at half.com.
For fiber-y stuff, I'm a fan of elann.com for yarn.
What a lovely bag. I've only bought one thing online. A book.
I hate to say it, but honestly, 90% of my online shopping is at google. I've bought everything there from kitchen gadgets, to drapes, to TVs, to tea, jewelry, inline skates and well, nearly everything. I almost just purcahsed my first fabric from them but found a better deal elsewhere. I tend to feel like if I'm shopping online, then I go with the best deal. If I can get it locally for not too much more and not too much hassle, I will. I have amazon prime, so it's hard to not say yes to shopping on my lunchhour online and receiving it on my doorstep two days later.
I usually shop at Amazon. I don't buy too many items online as I am a hands on person.

I purchase a lot from Amazon. I'm a prime member, so I get free shipping. I also love Etsy. If your trying to find something unique, it's there. I shop the accuquilt site for dies, and shop on line for hard to find quilting tools. I shop on line quite a bit.

Adorable purse! I do some fabric shopping on fabric.com
What a sweet giveaway, I love the pocket on the tote. I buy tons of stuff online, mostly from amazon etc. But for small businesses I love Hawthorne Threads and Ericas Crafts and SEwing.
My online stand by is Connecting Threads for thread and batting. I don't buy fabric online since I need to touch it before I buy!
I usually only buy fabric on line. I would so love to have this bag. Thanks for the chance.

Love buying craft and sewing supplies of course but pretty much buy lots of stuff online...books, clothing, gifts for friends, etc...
My most frequent and successful purchases online are for fabric from the U.S, you have a much better choice of fabric and it's much cheaper than here in the UK. Just about to follow you on facebook now. x
I love buying from Bloomerie Fabrics or Hawthorne Fabrics. They're both quick and have great customer service. Such a darling bag...thanks for sharing!!
I sometimes buy fabric I can't find at my LQS online. I have had a good experience recently with The Intrepid Thread.

I have had great luck buying fabric online - I have a list of at least half a dozen shops that are easy to work with and deliver with speed. Amazon is always a piece of cake, too.
I have been purchasing fabrics from a local shop Fresh Fabrics Aust - they have a great range and I receive them quicker than buying from the US.
Rebecca the tote is gorgeous!!! Love it!! I have bought many books on Amazon, and some fabric online with no problems.
I buy most things from etsy. At least, I buy everything I can from etsy. Otherwise, I love Amazon!

I tend to shop online via Amazon or Etsy.
I like Woot.com. It's a crazy little site
I like to shop on amazon.
The bag is gorgeous! I like buying fabric on etsy or other online stores. I haven't been quilting long but I recognize brands enough to trust the colors and quality. I remember the first time I ordered, I asked someone beforehand if they bought fabric online. They assured me it was usually prettier in person and that's true!
I buy clothes online, LL Bean.
The last thing I purchased on line is Aurifil embroidery thread from a quilt shop. Your bag is beautiful and I love blue.
I love the colors!
We do most of our online shopping on amazon, although during the holidays, we try to use etsy a lot!
We also just discovered Abe's Market and got some good stuff!

I really like to buy items to make jewellery online, especially on dawanda (sometimes also ebay, but there are too many sellers with cheap quality products)

I buy fabric and patterns online, I might have to buy this bag pattern too. Love the fabrics you used.
I will buy sewing patterns online, but I get too nervous to buy fabric, trims and thread. I am afraid the colors will look different in person, and I will not like them.
Thanks for this opportunity!
Truly, I buy so many things online. I have health issues, so it's super convenient for me to be able to have things delivered to my doorstep. I looked at my receipts for the last couple of months and found a quick list for you:
amazon.com (vitamins, books, toys, sewing tools, household items, etc), etsy.com (gifts and supplies for my business), petfooddirect.com (pet food), stamps.com (shipping), moo.com (printing such as business cards), jimmybeanswool.com (yarn) ... who needs to leave the house!? ;-)

Sweet bag and love the little white outside zipper. I have used EBAY, Etsy and Amazon without problems.
This is kind of random but I have great success buying vitamins online. I rarely shop online because I like to 1) see the product in person first and 2) support local businesses. But I have some weird vitamin requirements (they must be vegetarian AND gluten-free - you'd be surprised how many vitamins out there do not fit one or the other requirement) so rather than traipsing to 10 or 20 stores to find something that fits the bill, it's much easier to order online.
I love Etsy. Supporting small business is so important. I just wish I had more to spend!
Hello! So hard to pick, but I think I like the zig zag.
Just became a follower. Thanks!
Lovely bag.My last online purchase was a book for my daughter.
I buy online as there aren't too many shops near me here. I use The Village Haberdashery - Annie is awesome and very friendly and helpful :)
