Slaved Away... and a giveaway!

The last two days, I have spent hours slaving away at my sewing machine... and I wish I had MANY things to share with you... but unfortunately, I was only working on 1 thing. I'm kind of bummed that's all I have to prove... but it was TOUGH. I used Amy Butler's tunic top pattern, and picked Alexander Henry's Milan fabric to create my very own, and very first sewn piece of clothing. I'm going to cherish it... and I'm going to have fun wit it... and I just pray this piece doesn't fall apart while I'm wearing it!



Here's where the fun comes in. I've recently decided to try and make some new clutches for the shop, and I had some leftover Alexander Henry Milan fabric... so, I'm hosting a giveaway, of the item below. However, if you just can't wait to win, and you just have to have it, there will be one up in the shop as well!


To enter this giveaway:

- Leave a comment telling me what you would use this clutch for.
- Leave a separate comment if you're a NEW follower (I can tell).
- Blog or facebook about this giveaway, and leave a separate comment telling me that you did so.

Good luck... and let's PLAY! This giveaway will end next Tuesday, winner announced Wednesday evening (Korea time!)
Pin It!

  8. What I use this for? hmmm, well first of all I would use it to SHOW OFF to all the people that didn't get one! and then i'd always use it as my grab-n-go bag...you like when i don't need to carry the 20 lb purse with me just to eat dinner with the girls.

  9. Hmmmm... based on what size I think it is, I'd use it for ME, instead of what usually ends up happening with my purses and backpacks- they turn into diaper bags!

  15. I would love to see you modeling your tunic. It's so cute. I love the fabric. That clutch is darling. What to use it for?! What not, to use it for! I'd probably use it as a purse within a purse. Such pretty fabric. I miss Korea!

  16. Sorry Karen, that last post was from me, Annee, but the computer was logged in as my son Henry! I don't think Henry has any need for a clutch :)

  21. Well, do you know after almost 10 years of being married we hae ever been on a date alone? Othher than when I wa VERY sick at the Osan clinc and we left the children for 1 hour. It was a sweet date because Greg brushed my hair and gave me ginge ale from a straw while we waited to see the doctor. All that to say, we are going on an offical date soon and I would take a gift for him and hide it in the clutch bag. I can't help it...I am always thinkiing of him :) -Stephanie
