ABSS Sew Along - let's get this party started!

(Sorry, the giveaway is now closed)


Is everybody ready to kick off 2011 & get the Amy Butler Style Stitches Sew Along started?! I know I am, so let's kick things off in a big way. As I mentioned before, I'm giving away one copy of the book, and here's your chance to win! Entering is easy - everybody will have two chances to be entered. First, leave a comment with the project from the book you're most looking forward to making. Second, share about the Sew Along on your blog, and come back & leave a comment with a link to your post. Easy-peasy!

I'll share more about the first project (The Cosmo Bag) later this week.

Entries will be open until midnight Thursday, January 6, and I will draw & announce the winner Friday!

Until next time...

    I'm looking forward to the checkbook cover. I always seem to lose my checkbook (in my purse AND around the house) so a cute, bright cover would be great. :)

    I made a bunch of the "origami bags" for travel use last fall, and love them. I am eager to make some of the other beautiful bags from this book, but most need checkbooks covers: between biz and personal accounts, I have FOUR icky blue-plastic-from-the-bank checkbooks on my desk. Pretty fabric covers have been on my "make these soon" list for way too long!

    I'm back because I forgot to mention that I HAVE THE BOOK already, so if my name comes up the winner please draw again and thrill someone else.

    I did post to my blog, here:

    (and even figured out how to add the button thingie to my sidebar).

    I already have the book, so don't count my entry. :-) I just wanted to say that I am looking forward to the last bags in the book (Blossom, Miss Maven, and Take Flight). I would have started them already but I know we're supposed to be working in order, lol.

    I don't have the book yet so I don't know what all is in it, but these pleated clutches sound intriguing. I have never attempted pleats or a small bag so I would love to try this.

    I have tried to make a clutch before and it did not work out. I am hoping the perfectly pleated clutch will work!

    I am most excited about the ruffle bag; I must admit, however, that all of Amy Butler's patterns look awesome. What a way to ring in 2011. Let's start sewing!

    Saw this over on Vibrant Designs and this looks like so much fun! I've never seen an AB pattern I didn't like. I have never seen the book so I don't know what's in it but a gigantic cosmo bag sounds good to me! I'd love to win so I can play along!

    I am most excited to sew something (anything!) for myself. After the holidays (and a marathon of gift crafting), I would like to make something for me.

    (But I am honest enough to admit there is a high likelihood that I will then give whatever I make away to the first friend that admires it. I like to say "I love you!" with something homemade.

  23. SandyJanuary 6, 2011 at 4:10 PM

    I have not seen the book, so I don't know yet what I would make. All I know is that I really, really, really want to make something by Amy Butler. Sure hope I win!

    I don't have the book yet, so I'm not sure of all the different bags in it, but I'm loving the sound of the Perfectly Pleated Clutch!!! Tutu_Precious@yahoo.com
