100th post and giveaway time!

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!

Hello there & greetings from Ireland. I love this tote - I have seen a couple of tutorials which use linen, but I am a bit nervous of sewing with it, so to win a completed tote might give me the confidence to start using linen - yours looks so lovely.
Apart from sewing (which I do in any free moment I have), I am a doctor and a mummy to three lovely (I say that now cos they are at school!!) teenagers.
Thanks again for a great giveaway

Wonderful giveaway - love the tote bag and the sachet.

I live on the coast of NC with my husband and two boys and have been sewing for about 3 years steady after taking a break. I actually learned to sew when I was 13.
I love making purses and bags most of all and need to get busy making end of the year teachers' gifts.
