Lots to share today!

Firstly, a couple of bags I've made this week - one for my friend Nikki, and a new larger version of my 'Romance pattern.

This is Nikki's bag - I love the fabrics she chose for it! 

 and now my 'Big Romance' bag...the yellow fabric is some vintage cotton I was given by my friend Emma (thank you!) after I admired something she had made from some of it! What a sweetie she is!

and here it is next to the original 'Romance' bag so you can see how much bigger it is!

and now you can get the patterns too! Just click the link to download the PDF files for both bags!

You can use the pattern to make bags for yourself, or to sell (as long as they're not mass produced) - and DON'T sell the patterns, or claim them as your own. I will find out, okay? lol!

Romance and Big Romance Bag Patterns Download 

In the next few days, I'll be adding a picture tutorial in case you need one lol! 

I hope you enjoy the patterns - feel free to share any that you make with me either here or on Facebook - I'd love to see them!

And next, do you remember this bag I made a while back?

Well it's been sitting on my shelf, and when I saw an appeal on Facebook asking for donations for a charity tombola for Cornwall's Fundraising for the Ronald McDonald House, Bristol, I thought it would be perfect!

So it's now on it's way to Cornwall - I hope it helps them raise lots of money!

Thanks for looking!

Giveaway results time!!!

And the winners are......

Congratulations to Amy Walsh, who said

"I would LOVE one of your gorgeous bags, but I'd probably go for something a bit darker than the ones you usually do, but still pretty and girly!! ;) xxx"

and....

Congratulations to Emma (My Red Wellies) who said 

"Oo what a lovely giveaway.
My colour of choice would of course be RED. with either a splash of aqua or orange. But no flowers for me :)
Well done on 200+ likes xx"

I'll be contacting both of you today to sort out the designs for your bags - I can't wait! 

Thanks everyone for playing along - hopefully it won't be too long before I do another one! xxx 

Giveaway time!

Well, last night, much to my surprise and delight....I reached 150 'likers' on my Stuff Mummy Makes Facebook page!

I know, right? I feel very touched and honoured by all the nice things people have said - so much so that I've decided to give away one of my 'Romance' bags to one of you! 

All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me, if YOU won the bag, what colours/theme you would like it to be. Post before midnight tomorrow GMT (so Wednesday night) to be in with a chance to win. It's that simple!

Then a winner will be picked at random who will receive a one off bag, made just for them in the colourway they chose!

Please remember to leave an email address in your comment if I don't have another way to contact you - otherwise you'll miss out! 

Good Luck!

Well as I got to 200 likers so quickly (even more wow - I wasn't expecting that lol!) I have decided that I'll be giving away TWO bags now! So come and get your entries in!!
Good luck!
