Today is Giveaway Day over at Sew Mama Sew! In fact, it is an all week event.
For those who don’t know me, I love creating things with fabric, either projects I design on my own or following patterns/tutorial by others. And most of all I like sharing my projects and inspiration with you.
I’ve always wanted to make a sewing case for projects on the go. Currently when I have a quilt to bind, I bring my needle, thread and other notions in a Ziploc. When I saw these two tutorials lately (here and here), it inspired me a zippered case. Installing zippers is not my favorite part, but I do like things zipped up. I’m always afraid I could loose something. A big thanks to Krista at Spotted Stones for her clear photos on how she installed her zipper and to the designer, Masko Jefferson, of the Zip Organizer from Rashida Coleman-Hale’s book, Zakka Style.
Here is a few more pictures of the case I made:
If you would like to win it, just leave a comment on my post telling me what kind of projects you like to bring with you. The giveaway is open until December 7 at 5 p.m. PST. It is open internationally I’ll announce a winner by Sunday and I’ll ship the case by Dec. 14. Good luck to you and have nice week browsing new blogs! Now, I just need to go and make one case for me!
Update : And the winner is comment 55.
Congratulation Dina! the case is for you. I’ll contact you by email for your address. Thanks to everyone who came to visit my blog. I had a great time this week reading your comments and visiting some new blogs.
I love it! And I could totally use it!
If it could keep my thimble from being lost…. 😉
I like to bring EEP projects or even hand quilting project (like pillows or other smaller item). And what is that fabric with the feathers ??
The feather fabric is from this collection: http://www.westminsterfabrics.com/pub/singlepattern.jsp?designer=Martha%20Negley&image=null&pattern=Feathers&img=PWMN056&collection=Farmington&category=0&catname=&newitem=0&new_desc=null
so cute and could certainly use it for take along projects.
This needle kit is wonderful, so classic. Old stamped cross stitch kits, or my EPP hexagons right now – it changes.
I usually drag whatever quilt I need to bind with me. So needles, thread and binder clips would also be dragged with me.
Oh this is beautiful. Hand sewing is going to be the new thing for me next year
This is just lovely and the feather fabric is beautiful, thank you for sharing. I like to take hexies around to do EPP and this would be perfect for a few.

I find this little cases really useful when I'm hand sewing the binding of my quilts, while sitting on the sofa… just little hand sewing projects like that. It's a lovely zipper case, thanks for the chance!
I often bring a sock-knitting project with me. Or an embroidery project, like a dishcloth. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I have been taking along with me granny squares very often!
This is so gorgeous. I love to English Paper Piece, and that tends to be my go-to travelling project since it's so portable. 😀
Ooooh how neat!! This would be great for needles and keeping all my little notions organized!
Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
I would use it for small crochet projects or handsewing. Very sweet. cindy [at] cindyabel [dot] com
Oh my I need to tackle zippers again. . . years away from them make me leary! I adore this giveaway! I usually bring knitting with me as it's easy. I have some EPP pieces but need to get some of "MY" fabric and not the drab 80's fabric that is cut out for it. Le'sigh.
I love to take hexies with me to sew or some embroidery! I love the fabric you used! thank you!
I like to bring small things like little crochet projects

I love to do hand work-. Hand quilting is especially relaxing to me. Thanks for participating in the giveaway day.
LOVE this – the fabric, the quilting – and a perfect little notion carrier for all the embroidered dishtowel projects I bring along. 🙂
Some little stitcherys.
Thanks for the giveaway
embroidery and crochet projects are my on -the-go projects. thanks!
Oh how useful! I love anything thhat gives me a chance at being organized. I have several hand sewing projects in the works and it is always great to be able to bring them along.
This is awesome, just the perfect way to take the essentials with you without the whole sewing basket, scissors, a few spools of thread, needles etc…
oh my gosh! that is the cutest. i've been carrying my notions in this weird old slippery silk bag which is not meant for this purpose at all; everything falls out when i open it. i carry hand-quilting with a lot and am beginning to learn embroidery. thanks for the chance!
I just started with crochet, so it's pretty much what i bring with me
🙂
I love this case!!

Oh little nicky nacky embroideries, and fabric origamis!
Thank you.
I'd use this everyday!
I usually carry around small crochet pieces
Joanna-Gloria, yana_ven@yahoo.gr
That feather fabric is lovely. I knit as well as sew, and I tend to have a sock in my bag to carry around.
I l-l-love that. It's the prettiest!
I'm working on a hexie quilt and that would be perfect to carry all my notions in. 🙂 I also knit and crochet and it would come in handy for that too!
Beautiful.
Genevieve
Your little pouch would be perfect for my cross stitch needles and scissors.
I love taking embroidery with me, so this would be dreamy!!
I like to take along simple embroidery for road trips and washcloth knitting when camping.
Superbe et tellement pratique! I like to carry my hexies with me, and this would be perfect to bring my needle, thread and scissors along. The feather fabric is just gorgeous!
I usually bring a knitting project with me – which means I need my little scissors and needle for darning in ends, and some stitch markers ('cause they always like to go AWOL)…
I like to bring some small cross stitch projects with me or some stitchery.
I've been thinking that it would be fun to bring a bunch of hexagons around to keep making quilt bits with them.
this is a fantastic little notions case! thanks for the great giveaway! I like to bring EPP Hexies or bindings in need of handstitching around with me 🙂
Oh what a cute case. I really need something to take with me to Quiltcon. I like to take my hexies with me, but I just use a plastic baggie.
Cute! I always bring some little embroidery project with me when I know I'm going to be sitting somewhere with nothing to do. This would be perfect for all the little things I bring with me.
sapurser(at)gmail(dot)com
This is pretty.. perfect for my new obsession.. EPPs…
Lately, I bring hexies with me wherever I go 🙂
I have been bitten by the hexie bug and am readying a bunch of them to bring with me!
I love to bring small crochet projects like hats with me.
Lovely!
I like to bring crochet projects (granny squares)with me.
:o)
pippirose59 at gmail dot com
I could so use this! I am working on felt playfood and items for an advent calendar and would be great to bring on the go with me. Thanks!
I always have a different project going on.. hair things, bags, socks, gift bags…
perfect! i love to bring small embroidery projects with me, but just use sad little ziploc bags. this would be a big-time step up!!
I love the pouch! What a great way to carry! I haven't done that before, but on the 19th I plan to go to my first quilt along…at a local quilt/sewing machine store…and all day any quilter can come and help make "quilts of valor" quilts to give soliders as they come home from duty. I have to take my machine and "general" supplies, but fabric is provided! I could take my "generals" in this pouch! Thanks for the chance!

I just started doing EPP and want to do cross stitch soon
Sweet sewing kit! I like to carry hexies or cross stitch. I also like hand sewing binding.
I'm just getting back into embroidery, so that is my "to-go" project. Thanks for the tutorial recommendations – I need all the zipper help I can get. Would love to win – many thanks!
ellen(at)myerly(dot)net
I'm getting addicted to EPP.
I usually carry crochet projects with me. This would be quite helpful for Sew South coming up in March.
Gorgeous! This would be perfect – I always have to hunt for something to put pins/needles/thread/etc in when I take sewing out and about. 🙂 (Usually sewing projects I take out are hand finishing, such as hand-sewn hems. Good to do while socialising.)
I carry embriodery or knitting with me on every car trip. This would be great!
I usually like to bring a crochet project or maybe cross stitch. Something I can pick up for a few minutes at a time without getting totally lost. I love your pouch! I am almost ready to try some out. Lately I've been making fabric baskets and totes, and loving them!
You just win my sewing case! I'll contact you by email.
It seems like I don't have your email. So, if you get this contact me to let me know your address.
Josee, thanks for contacting me (thought my email was associated with my profile) WOot! itsdrucilla(at)yahoo.com Thanks so much!
I usually carry books only wherever I go. This would be perfect to use as a carry on for craft items
This is a lovely sewing case and I can see why you want me for you as well. I am mainly a papercrafter, but have just started dipping my foot in the sewing pool. I would love to have this to take to classes or even just to someone's house and not have to worry about sticking myself with needles, scissors and the like. I have been using the ziplock bag method as well, and this would be a delightful upgrade. Thank you for participating in this giveaway, I love finding new blogs to follow and meeting new people through this.
Merry Christmas!
Is amazing, so lovely, Cross stitch kit will be great.
I am new o crochet, so I bring with me some small crochet projects!
I love this prize Thank you
violet_bg1(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I'm always scared that i'll loose something or it'll get dirty so I rarely bring sewing things with me. Sometimes yarn in a ziploc bag. I like your case so much better! Especially with the feathers and neutrals.
Some small embroidery for my doll faces!
Ha! You are just like me – throwing things into a cheap bag to take along. Terrible! I am either toting a crochet project or a small quilt that needs binding sewn down.
I tend not to travel with craft but I recently took some English Paper Piecing on holiday with me. Such a lovely travel sewing purse!
I love to take a sketch book and pencil with eraser so I can sketch out any ideas that pop into my head. I also carry a mending kit – just in case!! Wonderful giveaway !
wow, this is the most special needle case I have seen! I love the way it has been quilted and could totally use it for my embroidery projects!
that's gorgeous! I always carry small english paper piecing projects with me. That case would be absolutely perfect for my little hexies!
If am crafting on the go, then a crochet hook and some yarn.

This is such a super idea! Right now I'm carrying embroidery projects with me.
love this,and so need it =o).Lovely giveaway,thanks for the chance to win it.Crochet is my passion and love to do it every day.
I've just started learning to hand piece. I go to a local church were a group of ladies get together once a week to sew. My new friend Isla, is teaching me. This case would be so helpful to me. Right now, I am using a recycled plastic box my husband bought screws in. I need something better. I love your choice of fabric! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I usually don't take projects with me anywhere, but if I had this case I definitely would!
I like to take small banner squares to embroider with me or knitting. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

Embroidery and crochet are my go-to projects to take along!
I carry with me EPP and books just about everywhere, binding to quilt meetings or for sitting in the car. I've carried embroidery, too, but don't have a project underway right now.
I usually bring spinning with me – fiber & a drop spindle. Though I just started learning to crochet & that's pretty portable, too…
In addition to sewing, I love to knit. If the project is easy, I like to bring it along to Dr. appointments and on long road trips..Cheers!
I'm working on Christmas stockings right now. So they're coming around with me everywhere right now. Great little case!
ali(dot)dellea (at) gmail(dot)com
I like hand sewing on quilt borders. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love to take embroidery on the go!
I am driving across the country and I was wondering what I could use to take some of my sewing tools as I will be mending some of my daughter's clothing when I visit her. Your little zippered case would be a great item to hold my needle, thimble and threads.
Love it! Currently I am a knitter but have been collecting embroidery things to give it a try! Thanks for the giveaway ! amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
This is absolutely *beautiful* and looks *so* handy! I like quilting and, like you, enjoy taking my binding somewhere comfortable to do my handfinishing. This looks perfect for just such a project. Thank you for giving such a lovely gift! God bless!
Hand applique, I usually keep everything in a ziplock! This would be so much cuter!
I usually bring along research for my next projects. A pattern or two to read over so I'm ready to get going when I get home. Or I take along mending or hemming to finish up.
anna [at] 64colorbox [dot] com
This is very cute and useful! Thank you very much!!!
I like to bring any applique projects with me.
I am always handquilting something…such a darling little case.

Seriously… you made this just for me, right?!! I love it!! Thanks for the chance!

Ooh, that's adorable! Knitting is typically my portable work, though sometimes I bring my sewing machine with me if I'm going to stay somewhere for a while, especially if there's no wifi!
I always have one hand quilting project to take! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would stuff it full of sew stuff. Love it!
How lovely! I could certainly put that to good use!

I very rarely take projects on the go. The only ones I've ever really taken out are when I've worked on hexagons in the car on road trips.
I like to bring knitting and/or embroidery along; this pouch is perfect for the darning needles I keep losing!
Many a time I have had a quilt tag along with me as I hand-stitch the binding. I've often wished though that I had some sort of stitching project to take with me that wasn't quite so big! 🙂
What a beautiful case!
I like to bring along a bag of t-shirt yarn, and I finger knit bracelets to give away to friends.
small crafty things.
I like to bring my EPP projects.. or a sock knitting project.. or a small embroidery project with me.

What a gorgeous needle book! I take hand binding projects with me.
How adorable! I usually carry a wool sewing bag with some form of applique to work on.
Seriously beautiful!! I would use this for my little knitting accessories – I love how it has a pouch and zippers open flat (nice to keep open on my lap on car-rides). Your work and fabric combinations are stunning!
I like to do the hand stitching on the back of quilt along car rides…
Ooooooh! I love this… and what's more my Mama would love this!
So, I'll enter for her… franibbott@optusnet.com.au

I've recently started on EPP- love it!
Thanks for a great giveaway
I don't have anything specific but I love to bring something to sew everywhere I go. I have stitcheries, hand sewing, miniature softies and knitting so I always have something to grab if I am going camping or away.
I love the swirled pattern for the quilting of the top and inner fabrics! And I really like the single elasticized pocket at the bottom for sewing supplies storage! Right now I'm carrying my small embroidery patterns in a Papyrus bag (it's the thicker kind with the cord handles, but it doesn't really work well as a fashion statement!)
I like to hand sew the backs of my quilt bindings so I save then for long car trips (when I'm not driving of course). I also like to take redwork stitching along with me. I have admit, I keep my supplies in a small zip lock plastic bag.
Very good idea, I always use the ziplock too but that is much better. I always bring my cross stitch project with me when I know I will be waiting. Thanks. Vivian
Nothing. I would like to take so many things with me, that I prefer to choose a book and forget about the rest. For mental sanity's sake.
Thanks for the chance to win!
lauramdd(at)terra(dot)es
That is a cute! needlebook. I like to bring small English paper piecing along with me. I am no stranger to the ziploc bag either. 😉
Embroidery is nice, but I also take knitting or crochet at times. Thanks for a chance to win. I love your quilting work on the kit. =)
Sometimes I just like to bring card-making supplies because they're flat.
Thanks for the chance!!!!
I have in my take everywhere carry-all some cross stitching and usually a knitted scarf I'm working on.
I love this! I am either trying to bring my embroidery or crochet work with me!
I like to bring embroidery stuff with me, or other handwork (don't have any quilting going currently). I love this idea!
I usually bring EPP or table runners that need binding Thanks for the chance
Great pouch! I like to take knitting or crocheting along with me. I don't always get to it though…
Fabulous! I like doing EPP projects!
Charming and beautifully made! I love the fabrics too!
I would like this so I could bring some of my supplies to my very part-time desk job- I never leave myself enough time to gather things before I head out the door. This would be perfect!
allie.wurgler@gmail.com
I love that feather fabric. I bring along all the supplies needed to make hexies. Thanks so much!
Gorgeous, love it…would work well with the hand embroidery I like to do as well as the hexie project I would like to start with the new year!
My Rag Dolls are easy to pick up and bring with me to sew.

Oh what a beautiful idea for bringing to retreat!
oh I love it! I love to bring EPP on the go with me and this would be perfect!

I like to bring my EPP with me, and this is much better than a ziplock!
I like to take embroidery projects with me.
I don't usually bring sewing projects. My small projects are usually knit or crochet projects – like socks, snowflakes, or doilies
I like to bring my embroidery with me. What a beautiful giveaway!
I don't do a lot of hand sewing, so I often don't have a project to bring along (sad face). Though, I just recently learned to English paper piece, so now I need to plan something that I actually CAN bring along!
em_komiskey at yahoo dot com
Wow it's such a beautiful case! I like to just carry a sewing kit EVERYWHERE with me- and it would be amazing in this beautiful case. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I often bring along my on-going knitting, or my crossstitch. But I'd love to carry handsewn quilting like hexies, it seems possible but guess what : I need a pouch for my thread and needles !
Thanks for the chance !
Hexagons, and lately I started trying myself at ahnd quilting, so I draw patterns on left over wholecloth bits and take them with me.
Outside of home, I tote whatever is feasibly portable with me, be it hand sewing things or little bits of knitting (I make soft toys, so everything is small and easy to fit in my bag). I take a ferry to a little island where I study pretty much every weekend, and the ferry ride over is just long enough to get a good bit of sewing done.
I also carry my sewing things from floor to floor (my workroom is on the first floor, and the living room on the third) at home, so I can do the more tedious bits like stuffing and sewing on snaps in front of the telly. Mostly this is done by stuffing things in my pockets and hoping I don't prick myself with my needles or scissors! 🙂
Oh my, that is a beautiful case!!! I LOVE the colorway and that feather fabric. I unfortunately spend an average of 1.5 hours each way on public transportation commuting to and from work – which, i calculated yesterday- ends up being 15 hours per week – or 60 hours a month. it was a depressing realization. however- i've been wanting to take up embroidery because it is something that would work well on a commute such as mine. your case would help me out so much! : ) Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm hosting one on my blog as well, so stop by if you'd like! )
I'm in love with this little case. It's darling!
i bring anything with me I can. Anything to hand stitch or crochet.
I usually try to take a small knitting project with me so I can mindlessly relax.
Zippers intimidate me too! I really need to work on that as I have several projects that need one! I will bring all sorts of projects with me. Knitting,crocheting and quilting. All depending on size and what I'm working on at the time. Your little on the go bag would come in handy. Love it!
So cute 🙂 I usually bring crochet with me or if I'm English paper piecing, I'll bring that.
I recently started embroidering, this case would be perfect for my notions.
I am working on a few English paper piecing projects. I took them camping this summer and have started a new one as well. This case would be super handy! Thank you for the giveaway!
I do all kinds of sewing & crafting and machine & hand embroidery. So I always have ahdn sewing work of some sort to take along with me. I usally just keep a market tote and i drop whatever I am working on in it and take it along on my errands and trips.

This would be great to have for an emergency kit while traveling. Once I sewed a dress by hand while riding in a van for 2 1/2 days to go on a missions trip.
freesignge (At) gmail COM
I have a hanging ABCs pocket project my mom made for my daughter – she played with it so much it needs to be fixed in a lot of places by hand, which is a slow process in little 5 minute chunks of time!
Your sewing kit is so beautiful!! I love hand stitching. Thank you for the link to the tutorials.
Lovely job on the needle case. Great fabrics. I tend to take knitting with me as most of my sewing is done on the machine. I do however take my sketch book so that I can work on my ideas when I can
I bring embroidery to do in the car and needle felting to do when I arrive at my destination.
I like to bring knitting projects with me.
