Loft Creations Little Purse pattern and PDF pattern giveaway.

Hi everyone,

One of my favourite quilting blogs to visit is Loft Creations so
I was thrilled last year when Stephanie allowed me to join her happy band of pattern testers.
Stephanie calls her group of pattern testers her Supremes and I have to say I feel I'm in exalted company as they all do such beautiful work.
The pattern I had the pleasure of testing is this one



If you've never made a bag before I can't recommend Stephanie's patterns highly enough. The instructions are clearly explained and you just can't go wrong.

Here's the bag I made using some fun fabrics by Michael Miller.



I think this would be the perfect bag for spring and summer. Use linen and change the look or try piping instead of ric rak or lace. The possibilities are endless. I know my daughter will want the giraffes so I'm going to need to make another bag for myself.

Stephanie has kindly offered a PDF version of the pattern to one of my readers. If you would like to enter the giveaway please leave a comment on this post only.
Please be sure you are not a noreply blogger as then I will have no way to contact you should you be the lucky winner.
I'll draw the winner on April 25th. Good luck!

Margaret

    ooOoo! I made a bag for myself two years ago. I have not made one since. If the instructions are easy, I would very much like a chance to win the pattern. Thank you! And yours is great by the way. ;)
