Yay! This is my 100th post on this blog! Woo hoo! I've been thinking about having a giveaway on my 100th post for a long time, and right now, Sew Mama Sew! is hosting a May Giveaway Day blog event ! What a perfect timing!
I will therefore participate in the Sew! Mama! Sew! giveaway event for the first time ever... How exciting!!
And my giveaway item is... this reversible linen tote bag that is handmade by me :)
More images here. The handles are made of sturdy canvas webbing.
And the reversible side looks like this.
I used this discontinued reproduction fabric to make this tote... which is one of my favorites. These are the images of birds and flowers by the window. Aren't they lovely?
It's a perfect size to store a letter pad (8 1/2 inches x 11 inches) or your daily belongings to carry everyday.
Side view
If you are interested in participating, simply leave a comment on this post. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me know a little about yourself on the comment, so that we can get to know each other : )
I will ship internationally, and this giveaway will be open until May 20, 2010 midnight (U.S. Pacific Time).
One lucky winner will get this tote, and even if you're not the luckiest one, I will also giveaway this handmade matryoshka lavender sachet to 2 more individuals!! (That's a total of 3 winners!)
Good luck and I'll be waiting for your comments!

Hi Amy, I love fabric crafts and the feel of touching them. I only started as a beginner to make fabric zakka recently. I am glad that we can meet more and more friends who love sewing from all over the world.
Once again! Cute creations from you!! I'd love to use the beautiful tote to go to the library! I can think of so many was for it! And the little lavender sachet is super adorable too! Such an original idea!! A little about myself..

I live in Romania and one year ago I discovered quilting. Since then I try to learn more about this art. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi, I love the tote and everything that you do. I have just started sewing again after a long, long break. It has helped me to get over some stuff going on here at the moment. Keeping my hands busy, keeps my mind off the bad stuff happening for a short while. It is a welcome break. Checking in on your blog does the same.

Hi, Amy, Thanks for giving me a chance to try my luck here .
I am a Malaysian Chinese lady who is greatly in love with Japanese pattern books, Japanese crafting books , Japanese fabrics, Japanese food ,Japanese notions and etc.I hope I could have a chance to travel to Japan one day.
I wish to get this lovely tote linen bag sewn by a kind Japanese lady ! :) !
Congratulation on your 100th post! And your tote is lovely too! I enjoy sewing clothes, bag making, patchworking & knitting/crochet..but there never seems to be enough time in the day does there. Oh well the housework can keep for another day!
HiAmy,
Congratulations on your 100th post!
Your prizes are very cute. The tote could be my knitting or crocheting bag to keep my project in. And I am a pretty big fun of Matryoshka dolls. I have a little collection of them.
I wished I could sew or had at least the patience to learn it. I really have to left hands and am kind of a perfectionist. I tried once to sew a bag, but.. yeah... I need a lot of practice... if ever a lonely homeless sewing machine knocks at my door...
And I really love those bags. If I could sew, I would have one in every colour. I use them for my stuff for university and they wear out really fast ...
However, actually I would prefer the sachets, since, as I commented before, I love the Matryoshka stamp so much :) I really admire your work and skills
Greetings from Sweden

I am from Idaho. I am a twin and i have three daughters
That is a really neat tote--the sachets are cute to.
Hi Amy,
Its a pretty tote. I have tried making a similar one but i can never seem to get it right. It would be perfect.
I love the Matryoshka sachet. I love lavender and I love anything with Matryoshkas, they are so cute.
And Congrats on the 100th post way to go, I tried blogging once but just didn't work out.
Beth Form California! =]

That is a lovely tote! My four year old daughter is always giving me her things to pack around so I'm sure we'd have this filled up in no time. It'd also be great for library books - which we get a new batch of every week! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Amy!
My name is Tara and I live on the coast of Australia. I adore sewing. I've recently been in an accident where I can't use my left hand at all, so no sewing for at least five more weeks :( I have one budgie, Agamemnon (nicknamed Aggie) and he gets very excited when the "Neighbours" theme song starts playing.
Thank you for holding this giveaway :) Your tote and sachet looks lovely.
Hello Lovely! What wonderful giveaways (and I'd even be happy to settle for 2cd or 3rd since lavender is one of my favorite things!). I am a grad student studying counseling and art therapy - so I think that creativity and the process of making things is healing and life enhancing. wouldn't you and your totes agree?
Hi Amy!
I'm from Southern California and I started sewing when I was pregnant with my daughter. It's been about 2 years now and I'm diving headfirst into various projects to see what I enjoy most. I'm currently working on a quilt for my daughter's second birthday.
The bag is adorable and the lavender sachets are even cuter!

I'd love to carry that around. I love fabric bags. There is always a diaper or two or an outfit or four that I can't fit into what ever bag I am carrying, so I am alway scrounging around for another bag to carry the overflow!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Very cute tote. I am a pastry chef in WI. I love to sew and craft but my tiny apartment doesn't allow for it right not.

Clever and unusual.
So cute! Great fabrics! Well, I saw you were from Japan, and that is actually where my husband met! We were stationed over there in Northern Japan (both of us are/were military). Right now we live in Montana, where we have 3 kids: 3,2 and 2 months. I love to sew and knit and anything crafty... but with the 3 littles, it is hard to find too much time!
Very nice bag! I love that it's reversible.

What a charming bag. Count me in!
Love this tote. I'm just learning to sew patchwork and quilts and such. I just made a gardening maternity skirt even for myself. I still need to put pockets on it, but it works and is way more comfy than something over my belly.
I'm looking forward to more posts from your blog. :)

What a cute bag! Also, I can not believe you have peacock eggs in your backyard! Things like that just don't happen in Michigan.

Hello! I love the tote bag. My name is Patty and I live in Canada. I am a photographer and painter and now I have started to do some sewing. I known how to sew since I was five years old, my mom taught me so I could make my dolls some clothing. I sew for few years and then the teenage years came, and you don't want to be on your sewing machine while your friends are out "having fun", besides at that age everybody thinks that sewing is for old ladies. So I stop. Now I have a 2 yrs old daughter and she's my inspiration.
Thank you for the chance of this give a way.
cheers

Hello Amy. I love the bag and sachets. I see you balance your life as an accountant with some things artsy. I live in Florida with my little dog who is lots of company and keeps me laughing. I guess you could say I am semi-retired due to some health problems. Thanks for the offering.
Congratulations on your 100th post - I've just had a giveaway over on my blog to celebrate too (unfortunately it was before I realised that the sew mama sew giveaway was happening again... ooops!). I love lots of different crafts, at the moment I'm making a lot of crochet toys but I'm also trying to get into sewing a bit more too.
Your prizes are beautiful - thanks so much for hosting the giveaway!
