20: shameless bribery

That's pretty much what this is...

See, I'm hoping you'll think that at any given moment I could bust out with a wicked awesome giveaway like this.

And I could.

You'll have to keep reading and see.

Ha. Of course you might be thinking "It's not all that. What's she fussin' about?" Well, then fine. Don't enter. Leave more chances for someone else...they won't mind.

Anyway, let me tell you what we've got here:

1 scrappy summer belt as seen in my tutorial (or if you don't happen to be in my general size range, I'll make you a custom one)
2 zippered pouches (one is a good pencil case size, the other more of a change purse)

4 half-yard cut pairs (each is 2 coordinating prints, 1/2 yard each)
12 "little bits" of fabric (approx. 9"x11" pieces)

1 pair of barrettes and 1 pair of ponytail holder for girls or grownups...made with my new yo-yo makers.

And it all comes in a super-simple drawstring pouch...

Now for how to enter:
Leave a comment on this post and tell me your 3 favorite colors. And no, green, red, blue, etc...get more specific. Mine right now are chartreuse, chocolate brown, and a light greyish turquoise I'd call "mist".

If I get what I deem to be "a lot" of entries, I might even send out some runner-up prizes. So tell your friends. But you can only enter once...

You have until midnight friday Aug 22 to enter and I'll pick the winner shortly after that. Then you'll have to give me a little bit until I send it out because I'll be out of town for a few days.

Good luck everyone!

JT
**EDIT - I should note I intend to pick the winner(s) from a hat randomly...

Ciao! I'm writing from Italy and I really like your blog too. I'm very lucky to have access to some really nice fabrics and notions but home sewing just isn't as popular here as in the US and Canada. I'm a sewing enthusiast all the same and here are my favourite colours: azure, seafoam green and of course, sienna, the warm colour of so much architecture in the area where I live in central Italy. I look forward to reading you more! Valcatraz

My favorite colors:
hazel...the color of my true love's eyes...
turquoise, the color of my mom's kitchen...and rich yellow...the color of stella doro daylillies.

It so depends on what it is for.....
I am trying to figure out the colour scheme for my craft room (when I finally get one..) and I am stuck with pale pink, sky blue, or mint green to go with espresso brown.
For clothing?
Cherry red, Emerald green, plum purple....

ooh, great bribery trick. i followed the link from stacy sews blog. my 3 fave colors right now are chocolate brown, navy blue, and lemon yellow. but i change my mind every five minutes or so.

hmmmm...funny you should ask for colors since that seems to be the topic in my life this week! :) All shades of rust, lemon yellow and the green-brown of a bosc pear.

I had the revelation while planting my garden that all the flowers were shades of rust (from reddish to brown), or bright lemony yellow--not colors I would pick to sew with, but apparently colors I should consider. The Bosc pear green comes from a comment from my 8 yr old "mom that fabric looks like the skin of a Bosc pear." She wasn't too far off the mark, but I love it! :)

Scarlet, stormy gray and chartreuse.

Love the rainbow - love hearing what everyone else says too!

Hi what a generous giveaway and a fun blog! My fave colors right now are a deep jewel green, a bright electric blue/teal and a rich slate blue...like normal slate blue but less gray...does that make sense?

[tarheelmaria]

My alltime favorite color is hot pink.. the richer, the better. I wear a good deal of black and accent alot with it in my quilts so I guess that's my close second. Lime green is number three on my list. My how my taste has changed over time. Love it!!! Pick me!!!
