Hap-hap-HAPPY Giveaway Day! It's the most fun week of the year as far as giveaways go (ok well one of the two most fun weeks) - the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. I have the sweetest little winter bag to share with someone! This was made by me with Jeni Baker's Nordika line and the SouthPark bag pattern by Ellison Lane.
Jennifer came up with a very clever little way to add some contrast to the pocket which I love.
I think these cool colors and that pop of red just say winter to me!
Detail of the contrasting stitching on the strap.
