Okay, this is my first time participating in the bloggy giveaways! I actually won something last time, me who never wins anything! So , I thought that I would go ahead and give some stuff away myself.
How it works is really simple, leave a comment about what the favorite thing is that you have made and I will randomly choose a winner on April 27th. The winner will win the pattern and directions for the denim skirt, from the Kids Can Sew curriculum that I talk about on this site. My girls are in the process of making this right now!
You don't have to be a blogger to win, just make sure that you leave an email address so I can contact you if you win! This giveaway is open to everyone. International entrants are welcome!
That's it, pretty simple! Just don't forget to leave a comment about the favorite thing that you have made (no "please enter me," or "I want to win," etc.)--if you don't you won't be entered to win.
Also don't forget to check out my other blogs for more chances to win more FREE stuff!

I love making things for my daughter like the skirt and matching bag that I posted on my blog. Now, she is getting the itch and wanting to learn to sew. This would be great for her! Thanks for offering it.

My favorite thing is a striped blanket that I have made - so much that I am making my third one right now! It is knitting, not sewn; hope that is okay!
My favorite thing that I've made lately is a nursing cover. It's also what I'm giving away for the carnival.
My girls have been asking to learn to sew. This is a fun giveaway. Thanks!
For Christmas this year I made each one of my five nephews a pillow set. Each set was a regular pillow a long skinny one and two square ones. I love that I have created something they like. My oldest nephew actually took one to his moms, one to his dads and two at grandmas so he could always have one of his special pillows no matter where he sleeps...it made me cry when he told me...then I made him two more sets!
I made an awesome Halloween costume for my daughter a few years ago.
A witch with black (mock) velvet, purple (mock) satin and a black tulle overlay.
She wore it two years in a row! :)

Will it teach me to sew too! :)
I think my favorite thing I've made, even tho' it was years ago is a bath robe that had a matching nightgown to go with it.
I'm currently working on an apron and would love to have something to help teach my 9 and and 12-year-old daughters how to sew.
I'm the first one!! I would love that. My favorite thing that I have ever made is my pajama pants and shirt, I'm wearing them right now!
My favorite thing I have made was a Christmas ornament for my niece.
My favorite thing that I've made is, sad to say, the only thing I've made so far! I've been taking old clothes and towels from the thrift store and making them into cloth napkins for my family. Not much, but I'm just new at the whole sewing thing and they are saving us some money on paper products!
Enter me, please, and thank you for your giveaway!
My Favorite thing that I have made would have to be my very first project. I made a bag to put my sons blocks in, simple yes, but it opened my eyes to the world of sewing. Thanks!
I made a blanket out of my sons outgrown t-shirts! monk5@charter.net
I love to make juat about anything, but I especially love to make things for my son. Those are my favorites because I get to see him enjoy them! I'd love to win this and use it with my niece!
I made beaded glass balls, and they were so pretty! It is sewing beads in a pattern around large glass ornaments.
my fav thing i have made is pillows! i created a ton of them for my child's room, with a sports theme and it really gave his room a boost.
elastic waist skirts are another biggie in my house- my girls wear them daily lol
I made a bib and elephant for my nephew and was very proud. i am asking for a sewing machine for my birthday! :)
i made a bib and elephant for my nephew and was so proud! i am asking for a sewing machine for my birthday! :)
A stuffed cat was one of my first sewing projects so it is my favorite.
I sew every day so it is hard to choose a favorite, but I think it is probably my son's fish quilt, which has become his lovey he sleeps with every night. I made it before he was born.
I don't have any kids, so I'm not going to enter, but I think it's great that people are teaching their kids to sew! I thought everything was bought at WalMart now.
I have made matching Easter dresses for my girls. They were so cute!
I love to sew, but am just learining. My favorite so far is the table cloth and curtain I made for my dining room.

I babysit a little 8-year-old and I'd love to teach her how to sew! But to pick my most favorite sewing project, after over 30 years of doing this? Hmmmmm...I guess I'd have to say the Christening gown and eyelet lace bonnet I made for my daughter 23 years ago!

My favorite thing that I have sewn is rag quilts. I havn't yet attempted any clothing items yet- this could be a fun start!
It has been many years since I have sewn anything but I made a great skirt in home ec once. This would be great for my granddaughter-just the right age to start sewing.
I just recently made a reversible shoulder bag...on my own...without my grandma's help! I love it :)
I just made my little one a bow! My first one!
I made a mini rug! Yay!

When I was in high school, I made a bow tie quilt for my (then boyfriend now) husband.
My favorite is a hat I knitted last winter...it's so warm!
I'm a total novice, but I did make--without a pattern--a "learning" pillow for my eldest son, with a zipper, a shoelace to tie, a button to snap, etc. I'm pretty proud of it.
I like to make the no-sew blankets. Thanks for doing this giveaway.

I really had fun making matching dresses for myself and my daughters.
Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I'm planning to teach my 9 year old to sew this summer! This would be great!
My favorite thing I made would be a really cute pair of mittens. Then I made pairs for my entire family. They were a hit!
I tend to make my own dresses. The stores do not design dresses for thin, yet broad women with elongated waists.
I just made a purse yesterday. It's actually the first thing I've sewn that I'll actually use and I am proud of! I love it!! My girls are dying to learn how to sew, your prize would be great :) Thanks!
That is hard, but I just made a quilt that i love......until I finish the one I am working on now. It is a multi generational project that started with my great grandmother!! :)
I've made a few crafty things. I really liked the star garland I made with homespun. But the truth is I don't sew very well. I want to learn. I need to get that Kids Can Sew curriculum for myself!
Any chance I could use this to teach MYSELF how to sew??
The favorite thing I've ever made was a scrapbook for my husband. Does that count?
Baby blankets - I love to make them!
Thanks for the giveaway! Sign me up! ( :
In Christ,

My apron! Thanks for offering this!

I love crafts, but rarely find time. My favorite place is in the kitchen - that is my creative outlet. But I do like to sew and so does my oldest daughter. My favorite thing I ever sewed was these long skirts for myself. I am still wearing them after several years.
My favorite thing to make...quilts.
Okay, I confess. I don't really know how to sew either. But it is something that my daughter and I have both been talking about learning, so I'm sure we could use this. I made a throw pillow in girl scouts once (sewing by hand). Does that count?
I'm not a great seamstress, but I did make a doll quilt for my daughter's third birthday. She still sleeps with it every night and she's eight now.
It is hard to decide on favorite things, I have made so much over the years. I think one of my favorites was my daughters wedding dress. She had two patterns, two different companies, one with the v going down and the waist and one with it going up and wanted part of one dress and part of the other. It came out beautiful!
Thanks for making me think about it!
The most fun thing I ever made was a hospital bag for my sister when she was expecting her first child. I made it out of an old pair of jeans, using the waist band for the handles. It opened out flat and had all sorts of pockets that I stuffed with all the labor and hospital stay necessities. It was so much fun to make, and I would love to have a resource for teaching my daughters how to sew!

My favorite thing I sewed was my daughters lamb Halloween costume. She looked adorable!
I recently made diapers for my daughter and then made more for my friend having a baby. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too!
I think my favorite thing that I made was a decoupage tea tray. I'm not to good at sewing . Something I want to work on more over the summer months. I hope to teach myself and my daughters.

my favorite things i've made is the amy butler barcelona skirt. it was simple (which is key) and cute. i made myself a cute skirt w/ nice material for only $15. lovin' that!
Well so far since i'm new to sewing and my first major project is in the works.I'll have the say my favorite thing is the poodle skirt i'm making for my daughter for the dance on Friday!
So far my favorite thing I've made is a skirt for my daughter, even though it came out to big & she won't get to wear it this summer :)
I haven't made much, but I think that my baby wipes are my favourite, I saved so much money making them, and they were quick! Instant gratification.
such an awesome give away.....I never learned how to sew so it would be so neat to be able to teach my girls
The most favorite thing I have made was a knitted baby blanket, made from the fluffiest softest pink and lilac yarn, I can't bear to give it away! lol. It's still in my closet!
One of my favorite things I have made was a white eyelet blouse.
Thanks for having this!
My most favorite thing that I have ever made was a lap quilt for my niece. I bought a kit and then sewed it together.
My favorite thing that I've made is a cross-stitched bear holding a heart shape with the words: "I Love You Beary Much."
My favorite thing I have made them so far are hairbows.
To be honest, I can't sew so I've never completed anything really. Will it help that I mention that I would use this for myself and I've taken three sewing classes previously?
I have made so many things over the years that I am not sure I can say what was my favorite. My wedding dress would have to be one thing. My most recent project is a pink baby dress for my granddaughter to wear home from the hospital after she is born. I can't wait to see her in it.

I'm not real creative or talented when it comes to making items, but I enjoy trying. My fave was some blankets for my boys.

I made a sweatshirt in HS with a teddy bear on it with paint and fabric. My grandmother began teaching me to sew when I was 10 but besides those times I have not sewn anything and would love to learn it again.
I am not a very experienced sewer, but really trying to be! I have made a baby (ring) sling and a block type quilt for my son. I am looking to expand my sewing abilities and would love to teach my daughter! Great giveaway!
um.. matching sun bonnets for my girls and a rag rug with all our old cothes for their room. I love sewing and am trying to get more profiscient thanks for the opportunity!

A shell collecting bag I made from one of my sister's old swim suits, it looks cute and works great =)
I have no idea how to sew but would love, love, love to learn how. I want my daughters to learn too. Maybe this will finally make me go to my mom's and have her sit down to teach me!

I like to do beading and make my own jewelry to give as gifts for friends. Nice giveaway. thnx
I love to sew for my children (though I don't do it as much as I want to :( ) Probably my fav that I have made in recent history is a darling dress and cape for my dd and a matching set for her 18" doll...
Thanks for offering such a great prize - I hope I'm the lucky winner! :) I am new to sewing, but i did make easy peasy curtains a month ago :)
I've never made anything I guess... I have repaired alot of items though! I'd love to try to make something though. Great giveaway, thanks!
My girls and I sew mostly crafts, but have TRIED our hand at doll clothes. I've wanted to make my girls little summer dresses forever, but I just can't seem to do clothes as well as crafts. Maybe your giveaway can help us make something simple and jumpstart our desire to do clothes. We make tea coasters, pillows, tote bags, doll clothes, and we've done patchwork quilts for teachers at school before I started homeschooling. Thanks for offering this.
I guess my favorite thing that I have made is when I knitted a blanket.

My favorite things I have made for my daughter are her felt foods. Mostly cookies for her tea parties.
My favourite thing I made was stuffed bunny rabbit
Great Blog. I think it is so important to keep sewing alive and give kids the chance to sew. My favorite things to make now are in the quilting line...stitcheries, etc. but I did love making dresses for my girls when they were babies.
Thanks!
I don't know if this is making something, but I "made" a scrapbook for my travel journeys!
Its funny that I stumbled across your blog when just yesterday I started teaching my 9 year old daughter how to sew a blanket for her new American Girl doll! I also homeschool only I'm on the other side of the US in Georgia!
i made my boys quilts last week! it was my first attempt at sewing and im pretty darned proud! :)
How cool! Thank you. Please enter me.
hmmm... I actually made an outfit that won a ribbon at the fair two years ago. No matter that it didn't fit, right? :-)
I'm not a very good seamstress. I have sewn my daughter a couple of jumpers that turned out okay. We just bought her a beginners sewing machine for her 7th birthday & she loves it. She doesn't have any patterns yet though. Thanks for the contest.
What a great blog! I took sewing in high school, but haven't used the skills for much more than making halloween costumes lately. This will inspire me to start again and involved my daughter, too. How lovely!
God Bless,
