Giveaway Day!


It's Giveaway Day (well, Week, really) over at Sew, Mama, Sew! and I'm offering up something fabulous.



I have been following along, mostly, with the Zakka Style Sew-Along, and I jumped ahead, thanks to Sara at Sew Sweetness, to the Zip Organizer.  Then I decided to downsize it into a wallet.  I loved the result so much that I have made several wallets this week.  They all have a charcoal linen base with fun designer cotton prints as pockets and accents.  The binding is hand-sewn.  You'll have to wait to see the original organizer that I made until its time comes in the sew-along!  For a sneak peek, check out my Facebook page.

This lovely prize features some Joel Dewberry prints.  It zips closed and has a zip pocket on the back for change.  The inside has 3 card slots on one side and three slightly larger slip pockets on the other.





To enter, leave a comment below letting me how you shop on Etsy...do you search for something specific, browse new listings, check in with your favorite shops?  Open to anyone, anywhere.  I will randomly select a winner on May 27.  For an extra entry, like my Facebook page and comment that you did.  PLEASE MAKE SURE I CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU WIN.  Make sure your email address is visible in your profile, or include it in your comment.

    What an adorable wallet! I've been seeing the Zakka posts all over blog land, but this is one of my favorite projects. ;)

    Most of the time when I'm shopping on etsy I'm looking for fabric, and I have a handful of shops that I prefer so I tend to go to those first. :)

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    As far as Etsy goes,I typically search for specific items. Occasionally I do just look for items make from specific materials which helps me find interesting things!

    I do a little of each, really, just depending. Often I search for specifics, if I'm gift shopping. But I'll also browse fabric shops just by the category. And I like to watch the page where the latest items sold flow by, just to get ideas of what is out there, and what people are buying.

    I usually search for something specific, but I do like to browse the art category occasionally. Usually at the minute though, spare cash is tight so I tend to know exactly what I want to buy rather than having a little splurge on a few things, it's a case of choosing from the search results.

  40. AmyMay 21, 2012 at 1:16 PM

    I shop from Etsy all the time; how I shop from Etsy depends on what type of shopping I'm doing. If I'm looking for something in particular (this is usually true if I'm shopping for supplies: fabric, zippers et al.), then I will do a specific word search. If I'm looking for a gift, I'll first check my favorite shops and also I look at treasuries by searching them or through tags. I find new shops I like that way also. I never browse just new listings, but sometimes, when I need a break, I'll browse a category that I know I like.

    I start out wwith a specific search but tend to get side tracked when I jump to a shop to look at something then I just have to look at everything in the shop and that in turn makes me change my specific search to something else that I saw in a shop and it keeps going that way, for hours sometimes.

    I actually do all of these (search for something specific, browse new listings, check in with your favorite shops)! It all depends on the day and if I am just wanting to look around or have something specific in mind.

    Adorable little wallet!
    If I am looking for supplies or fabric, I search my usual shops or sometimes search by price for a specific item. All my none supply items have pretty much just called out to me from the home page or from the hearts of the people I heart. I hate when ppl have their hearts private. I find that if I love what you make, I generally love your favs too.

    I don't spend much time on Etsy, so the few times I've purchased things, I've had specific searches in mind. I love this zippered wallet... i'm envisioning a larger version for my interchangeable knitting needles!

    How I shop on Etsy depends on what I am looking for. Sometimes I do a search for a specific item, sometimes I go to my fav shops or sometimes I see something on a treasury list and go to see about it!

    I tend to search Etsy by item and if I find a shop that has more than one item I like in it, I take that as potential for a shop that I'd like to frequent (which usually means the shop needs to have some variety in what it's offering).

    If I'm directed to someone's site from a blog or website then I just shop the person's shop. However, if I am looking for a specific item I will type the item description in the search box and look in "all items" for it. I usually get the most hits that way. Thanks!
