Today’s giveaway sponsor is Jeni Baker of In Color Order. Jeni designs fabric, and sewing patterns which includes not only 3 awesome bag patterns but some incredible quilt patterns. Jeni’s fabric lines are so vibrant and beautiful and are so, so fun!
The lucky winner will receive all THREE of Jeni’s PDF bag patterns:
The lined drawstring bag is the perfect bag for gifts and storing anything! The pattern includes directions for 8 sizes, ranging from the “tiny” bag to the “laundry” bag. There is really a size for everything!! With full color step by step pictures this is a great pattern for all skill levels.
The Sew Portable Travel set is a great pattern selection for sewists who like to travel for classes and workshops as well as for weekend travelers who want to travel in style. This pattern includes the Featherweight Travel Tote bag, which Jeni originally designed to carry her Singer Featherweight 221, but would be perfect for lots of other machines as well! It is a very sturdy bag that is quilted with both batting and canvas to give structure to the bag panels and the handles are reinforced with webbing so there are no worries about stuffing this bag to the gills! Think of all the goodies you can fit in this tote! For those toting around your machine, directions for an extension table cover are included. Last but not least, the Everything size of the Lined Drawstring bag is included to stash away all your goodies!
Last but not least, included in this giveaway is the Triplizip Pattern.
This pattern includes step by step instructions and clear photos for making three different zippered pouches. This is a perfect pattern for beginners that have been nervous to sew with zips, as well as though who are familiar but would like to improve their confidence. With this pattern you’ll learn to sew a simple zip pouch, a zip pouch with gussets and a boxy zip pouch.
