SMS Giveaway #2 - handmade bag



I recently got the opportunity to work with two fantastic new sponsors.  Wholeport is a huge online store filled with fabric, trims, beads, embroidery supplies, and much more.  Most of their cotton fabrics come in 60" width, and after receiving two prints from them, I had enough to cut out two complete bags - one for me and one for one of you!  For the bag pattern, I received the Steph-in-the-City pattern from Emmaline Bags.  I love the belt detail and hardware on this bag, and the adjustable strap so I can wear it cross-body or on my shoulder.  The pattern designer Janelle did a great job with her instructions and pictures.


How to Enter:
Leave a comment: what size bag do you like best?  Clutches, handbags, or oversized bags?
Bonus entry: followers, new and old, please leave a second comment.

Giveaway is open internationally. Please leave your email in your comment if it is not linked in your profile. Winner will be chosen by random.org on Dec. 8. Good luck!
And check out the Sew Mama Sew blog to enter all the other fun giveaways going on this week!

I love smaller shoulder bags but these days with 2 kids under 3, I carry a pretty big bag most of the time.

While I've never met a bag I didn't like, I prefer big oversized bags because I always have so much stuff with me.
Your bag is so stylish, I love the fabric!

Love the bag! That is actually the size bag I prefer, not too big but bigger than a clutch. Thanks for the giveaway :)

For years I carried just a clutch and wasn't really a "bag lady". But now I am totally in love with bags - esp oversized ones

I have too many kids for little bags! LOL! Oversized ones usually work best.

Handbags are the right size for me.

Thanks so much for the giveaway!

Leanna said... #

I guess I like handbag or crossbody size...clutches just seem hard to keep up with!

Holly said... #

I'm more of a handbag gal. Thanks for the chance to win, I look forward to exploring more of your blog.

Tammy said... #

I love your bag, it is just perfect size. I like bags that are medium sized and have an adjustable shoulder strap.

Tammy said... #

I like purses that have built in wallets and lots of little compartments for cell phone, keys ecetera.

MoeWest said... #

I like medium size bags with a shoulder strap. If it's too big, I just fill it up and it gets heavy!

Absolutely love this bag - thanks so much for the opportunity! I mostly use bags about the size of this one. I like messenger bags in the winter so I can keep my hands in my pockets and switch to shoulder bags in the summer. Most often I use either a large bag or a handbag - not small, not oversized.
