Thanks for entering! This giveaway is now closed, but you can come back tomorrow morning for another lovely giveaway!
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree!
….and Rae gave to me a Bonsai Bag sewing pattern!
It’s day three of our twelve days of Christmas giveaways, and today we’re giving away one copy of the Bonsai Bag Sewing Pattern PDF. I’ve always loved the adorable pleats, tied handles, and the way it so nicely frames whatever you put in the center, if I do say so myself. Enter to win and join the ranks of creative folks making all these classy versions of this bag:
1. roller derby, 2. green/seafoam flowers, 3. grey with red, 4. black with pink
You can see more in the Bonsai Bag Photo Pool on Flickr right here.
To enter to win a copy of the Bonsai Bag Pattern, just leave a comment by 9 PM tonight (EST). One comment per person; void where prohibited by law. I’ll pick a winner using the random number generator and notify the winner by email; we’ll also post a list of all of the winners at the end of the series to make sure we don’t miss anyone. This prize will be emailed to the winner as a PDF.
And, I’ll be giving away a different pattern tomorrow, so come back then for another chance to win!!!
