I am so VERY excited about Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day! Not only do I love going through the dozens and dozens of blogs for inspiration (and of course a chance to win something awesome) but this year I am finally hosting a giveaway myself. It's such a fun idea and I love creating for other people, so why not?
Without further ado, let me introduce you to the prize:
A Buttercup Bag (made of course, from the pattern by Made by Rae). Exterior fabric is my fabric home decor weight Ikea Bladd fabric in grey, and interior is a hot pink "Bubbles and Blooms" print.
And for an extra special treat: 2 fat quarters and a .4m piece of fabric! The prints are: Heather Bailey Pop Garden Swirlybuds in turquoise, Amy Butler Midwest Modern 2 Park Fountains in yellow and Gail Kessler Summerhouse Collection Butterflies in purple.
Excited? To enter, please leave a comment on this post telling me where you're from, and either what your favourite thing to sew is, or what fabric you're currently obsessing over. I will leave comments open until Thursday, May 20 at noon (Mountain Time) and choose a winner by random number generator after that.
Good luck!

I would love this bag and fabrics. I'm in Ontario, Canada. Currently obsessing over orange fabric. Trying to shift to red. Ran into a pink roadblock! Thanks for the chance.
Gorgeous bag! I'd love to be able to make one, maybe one day... For the present, I'm obsessed with finding a classy fabric to match my Anna Maria Horner turquoise Diamonds (from the Little Folks voile line) but... here in France, and not on the Internet! I just can't dare to order fabric online, without being sure how it would match the other one...
So such a nice bag & fabric would really relieve me from my obsession!
Thanks for the chance
