Ha ha. I know. It's nearly the end of April. Anyway, better late than never. Here's my April 2014 Giveaway. This is what I'm giving away - a little treasure pouch. What makes it a treasure pouch? Put some treasure in it!
Yes, it's just another drawstring pouch. But look at the pretty fabric I've used to make it. I finally decided to use my Echino double gauze cotton from a older Echino collection. I had been saving it and saving it. Echino is designed by Etsuko Furuya and she is my favourite textile designer. The colours she uses are very rich. Of course, her fabric is impossible to get in Singapore.
This treasure pouch is very simply constructed and it is based on my Treasure Pouch Pattern. It is strictly for newbies - like someone new to bag-making.
I hope you guys like what I've made for you for my April 2014 Giveaway. It's very simple and sweet.

First comment, wow. What I treasure most is my ability to craft. Without quilting and crafting, I'm afraid I would be extremely depressed, as I struggle with depression somewhat anyhow. Quilting and crafting keep my mind off it, and make me happy.
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty colours! I treasure my amazing if slightly dotty family the most!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Treasure bags - and now that I am on I will find you :) I treasure a photograph of my mom when she was alive and well, happy and healthy. The picture is so 'her' - her smile and her hair and glasses - such a precious photo :)
ReplyDeleteI treasure my health - as life would be very difficult otherwise. Thank you for the chance to win this pretty pouch.
ReplyDeleteI treasure my self backed bread...it's the mist amazing moment when it's coming out of the oven ..the smell and the look of it...can't help it :-)... And I wanna win finally :-)
ReplyDeleteAfter my family, it's my eyesight, I spent two years without vision in my left eye and now I'm grateful every day for my hard fought for vision. Can't put that in a pouch but i would love it :)
ReplyDeleteI treasure my quiet mornings.
ReplyDeleteEchino fabric is my absolute favourite too - such a shame it is so hard to source. Love this little bag :-) What do I treasure - cuddles with my boys because I know they will grow up too fast.
ReplyDeletei love this type of pouches. i have a couple at home! and i treasure my family the most!
ReplyDeleteLovely Jane!
ReplyDeleteAfter my family it would be my health!
Love the pouch! It is really pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, I treasure my eyesight most. Its really amazing and a blessing to have a perfect vision and to be able to see without glasses after 30+years. What more can i ask for! :)
Other than the big ones - family, friends, health - I have 2 ratty old pieces of fabric that I treasure - they were our boys baby "blankies" - they're so worn out that they're just knots of fabric now, LOL. One boy has already left and the other will soon be gone as well, but I'll always have their blankies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pouch. I treasure my hands the most as without them I couldn't Knit, sew & create!
ReplyDeleteI treasure my time with family most - especially one on one
ReplyDeleteWhat I treasure the most. all the time my mother took to teach me to live my life too the fullest.
ReplyDeleteYour pouches are adorable. I think it was looking at yours that prompted me to start making some too.
ReplyDeleteI made a really big one yesterday.
What do I treasure MOST? Without a second's thought: My Husband.
Then my kids/grandkids.
Then my new Brother Dreamweaver!
Thank you for the chance. I treasure my health.

My sight. My mother is blind and I cann't imagine not to sew or not to see colors.
ReplyDeleteThe question made me aware of all the good things in my life, thanks!
Definitely treasure free time the most- it's very scarce and precious at the moment!
ReplyDeleteGreat pouches!! I treasure so many things that I could say life. But I'm going to say my daugthers. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove your tutes! And you make great pouches. What I treasure is my sight - as I get older, my vision isn't what it use to be. It is getting hard to thread the needle on the sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
I really treasure my family. Parenthood is a wild ride but I wouldn't change a thing!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I love your stories about every day life. Bathing suit shopping, smog, cleaning, family, selling, pain, food, dolls!!! I have made one item from your tutorials and one from a pattern I bought 1/2 off (because I am so cheap!) I love how they turned out. I would send pics, but they are from my not smart phone, and not so easy to see. So, I treasure getting to know you from your blog. Maybe not the thing I treasure MOST, but still... Thanks!

I just found your blog from the Sew Many Ways link party. I can't wait to look around. Your bags are great and I love the fabric you choose.
ReplyDeleteOf course I value all my body parts and my home. My dearest treasure is my husband of 42 years.
Your bags are beautiful! It's hard to limit what I value most to just one thing, but I guess it would be my good health. That enables me to do all the things that I love, like sewing and making bags, and to share life with the all the people that I love. I would LOVE to win one of your bags, fabric all the way from Singapore! I found your post on Sew Darn Crafty. Keep up the good work and don't give up! I love your bag style =)
ReplyDeleteI've popped in from Sew Many Ways. I've been checking out your blog and your work is terrific. I think I treasure my relationship with my sister the most. Can't fit that in your wonderful bag but I'm sure i can find something else that would fit wonderfully if I win.
ReplyDeleteWhat I treasure: My good health. Especially as I get older and I hear of more friends battling illnesses. (secondly, if I can list another, my positive attitude. Negative people are such downers....too much to be happy about to spend time griping!) Thank you for your wonderful sewing inspirations.
