Our final giveaway sponsor for Purse Palooza 2013 is Anna Maria Horner, a talented designer many of know and love for her beautiful fabrics and creative pattern designs. A bit about Anna Maria Horner from her website: Anna Maria partners with Free Spirit Fabric, a division of Westminster Fibers, to create beautiful fabrics for the home, clothing, craft and quilting. Anna Maria designs classic yet modern designs for your sewing pleasure! Clear writing instructions, informative illustrations, and a beautiful, reusable package will place these patterns among your favorites.
Although it isn’t a bag, I have to share with you one of my favorite AMH patterns – The Study Hall Skirt. I haven’t seen a version of this pattern yet that I haven’t loved and when I finally put down the bag patterns, this is absolutely first on my “must make” clothing pattern list ~ isn’t it beautiful!!!:
One lucky winner will receive a 5 pack of bag patterns from Anna Maria Horner including:
Escape Artist Bag & Clutch
This bag is large and in charge with enough room to escape for a night out on the town or a weekend away with your girlfriends! The additional gathered clutch pattern is a fantastic bonus and the two together make a dashing set you’ll love to create and own!
Art Student Tote
The Art Student Tote is another big and beautiful bag pattern from Anna Maria Horner that is perfect for holding your student, office, or personal supplies using the full size or full size with extension options during the day and the pattern reduces to a slim tote with divider for your activities at night. Whatever style you choose to create, you will love the versatility and organization options of this multi-pocketed bag pattern.
Sidewalk Satchel
The Sidewalk Satchel is a AMH favorite of mine, I absolutely adore the flower and loop closure on the front and the perfectly gathered and unique round shape of the bag. The pattern includes both gathered and smooth options for the outside of the bag, increasing your design possibilities and doubling your sewing fun!
Ruthie Clutch
I adore a pleated clutch and the button flap closure of the Ruthie clutch makes it that much more adorable! The large size is perfect for holding all your accessories while still being small and feminine enough for a night out on the town. The top band provides an opportunity for creative expression by coordinating fabrics or choosing fun contrasts and the pattern has some great style options to inspire you.
Multi-Tasker Tote
This gorgeous tote is perfect for highlighting a favorite fabric and adding a bit of pizzazz to your bag with coordinating pockets on the inside and out. A perfect size for all your daily activities, the easy to access inside and outside pockets make organizing your day just a bit easier.
