Sew-n-tell Friday & A Giveaway!

Hey everyone, so if you read my post the other day I told you that I was going to be doing a giveaway!. Well first let me get to my sew-n-tell finish, which is not what I have made to giveaway.


So I got the book one yard wonders for christmas, well I actually got two of them, and i kept both, and well its a long story so anyways. I had a plan to do one of these projects before I go back to school in Plymouth for my last semester as an Undergrad math student. meaning in a mere 4 months i will have a BS in Mathematics, with a 5-8 teacher cert. option!


Anyways so I really liked the Planner sleve tutorial., and realized it didn't need one yard, only a fat quarter. So I chose do to that one. It was pretty fun and easy, the only part i had trouble with was the bias tape. I have yet to master how to put that on. So on to the pictures:


 This is the front with it closed, its something new for me not using bright colors!

This is the back view:

And this is the view of it open:





I'm not sure what to put into yet because I don't have a planner, Any ideas?


And on to the giveaway!!!!!


Here is what I am going to giveaway:



Its an idea I found here, very clever. Its a little mason jar that i turned into a cute little sewing kit with a pin cushion on the top. Here is a view of everthing on the inside:



It comes with; little sissors, a measureing tape, needles, needle threader, a few buttons, some thread, a few saftey pins, and I'm sure there are some things that are in there that I am forgetting, And i might put in a few extra buttons from my collection, or a headband, it will be a surprise!


So do you want to win it? here is how:


1. Leave a commnet on this post and you will be entered to win
2. You will get an extra entry if you are a follower of my blog so follow me, and put a comment that says you are now a follower.
3. the winner will be picked late on Wednesday the 27 via the random number generator. Then i will contact you to get your mailing address
Make sure you leave your e-mail address so I have a way of contacting you if you win!
Good Luck!!!


And tell me what you would use it for , or who'd you give it to, just for some fun.

Great projects. Really pretty. Thanks for sharing!

Cute idea with the mason jar! Bias tape is not very fun. It seems like no matter what you do - you miss it here and there. I guess you are supposed to sew one side with right sides together first - with the tape open - and then top stitch it however, when you do it on the project you are using it on - you'll see all sides so it's not as forgiving if you screw up. Wish I had better advice...keep practicing!

Very pretty! Love the planner sleeve. Would be great to hold a journal, too, or even just a notebook for making lists, etc. Love the little sewing kit, too. That would make a great gift for someone just learning to sew. :-)
