Woo! I won!

Well I didn't win the $2k sewing machine grand prize but out of hundreds of entries I did win one of the 5 runner up spots!

You can see the winning bags here at www.chroniclebooks.com/blog

The winning bag is quite lovely, and I'm so happy to be included with all these awesome bags.

A funny RMR bag

My diaper-sewing friend Stephanie makes the best bags from my Run Mama Run pattern, and I think her latest one is the most fun ever... see it here! at her shop.

The Bags

Drum Roll Please....
Here are the bags for the Amy Butler contest, I put them up for vote on my sewing board and bag #1 came out the winner so I think I will enter that one, I really love option #2 but there are some flaws and I think #1 exudes Amy Butler a bit more. Wish me luck!

Bag #1

Bag #2

Spring is Almost Here

OOh, look at all of this! Fresh new fabric from my favorite
online store, Sewzannes. Dolphins,
polka dots, stripes, oh my! Elephant fabric will be arriving shortly...

It is a little intimidating, I can't bring myself to start cutting it all up. I can't wait for the days of running around in cute little summer dresses (and not having to find matching socks!).

Bag Contest!

Because a $2K sewing machine would certainly make me a better seamstress, I am entering the Amy Butler Bag Design contest, here..

I'm sewing bag #2 right now, I'll post photos for everyone's imput soon!
